The information collected is used to
assess the impact of proposed projects across, along, or in the
Tennessee River or any of its tributaries on the statutory TVA
programs and to determine if the project can be approved.
This number reflects an
anticipated increase in applicants based on a change in the
respondent pool to include persons who wish to maintain (mow, etc.)
TVA land that is adjacent to their property (as described in number
15 below). However, it also reflects a downward trend in recent
years of 26a applications received by TVA as less land is available
for development and use on the TVA reservoirs (i.e., most people
already have applied for and received approval for their docks,
etc.).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
