used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) 
how might Reclamation enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might Reclamation minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone
