telephone at 702-293-8164.

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.
    We are 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. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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: The Bureau of Reclamation delivers Colorado River water 
to water users for diversion and beneficial consumptive use in the 
States of Arizona, California, and Nevada. The Consolidated Decree of 
the United States Supreme Court in the case of Arizona v. California, 
et al., entered March 27, 2006 (547 U.S. 150 (2006)), requires the 
Secretary of the Interior to prepare and maintain complete, detailed, 
and accurate records of diversions of water, return flow, and 
consumptive use and make these records available at least annually. The 
information collected ensures that a State or a water user within a 
State does not exceed its authorized use of Colorado River water. Water 
users are obligated by provisions in their water delivery contracts to 
provide Reclamation information on diversions and return flows. 
Reclamation determines the consumptive use by subtracting return flow 
from diversions or by other engineering means.

of Colorado River Water in the Lower Colorado River Basin.
