SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies 
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and 
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact 
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information 
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired 
format.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
August 14, 2018 (83 FR 40334). No comments were received.
    We are again soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is 
described below. We are especially interested in public comment 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the 
proper functions of Reclamation; (2) will this information be processed 
and 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. Before including your address, phone number, email 
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you 
should be aware that your entire comment--including your personal 
identifying information--may be made publicly available at any time. 
While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal 
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we 
will be able to do so.
    Abstract: Reclamation is responsible for approximately 6.5 million 
acres of land which directly support Reclamation's Federal water 
projects in the 17 Western States. Under Title 43 CFR part 429, 
individuals or entities wanting to use Reclamation's lands, facilities, 
or waterbodies must apply using Form 7-2540. Examples of such uses are:

--Agricultural uses such as grazing and farming;

[[Page 56100]]

--commercial or organized recreation and sporting activities;
--other commercial activities such as ``guiding and outfitting'' and 
``filming and photography;'' and,
--resource exploration and extraction, including sand and gravel 
removal and timber harvesting.

    We review applications to determine whether granting individual use 
authorizations are compatible with Reclamation's present or future uses 
of the lands, facilities, or waterbodies. When we find a proposed use 
compatible, we advise the applicant of the estimated administrative 
costs and estimated application processing time. In addition to the 
administrative costs, we require the applicant to pay a use fee based 
on a valuation or by competitive bidding. If the application is for 
construction of a bridge, building, or other significant construction 
project, Reclamation may require that all plans and specifications be 
signed and sealed by a licensed professional engineer.
    Title of Collection: Bureau of Reclamation Use Authorization 
Application.
    OMB Control Number: 1006-0003.
    Form Number: Form 7-2540.
    Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved 
collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals, corporations, 
companies, and State and local entities who want to use Reclamation 
lands, facilities, or waterbodies.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 225.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 225.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: 2 hours.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 450 hours.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: Each time a use authorization is 
requested.
    Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $ 78,750.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number.
    The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq).

Acting Director, Policy and Administration.
