SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
The Bureau of Reclamation
(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. This
information is needed to ensure 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. Without
the information collected, Reclamation
could not comply with the order of the
United States Supreme Court to prepare
and maintain detailed and accurate
records of diversions, return flow, and
consumptive use.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB
regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which
implement provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13),
require that interested members of the
public and affected agencies have an
opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping activities
[see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)]. OSM has
submitted a request to OMB to renew its
approval of the collection of information
for 30 CFR Part 875—Noncoal
Reclamation. OSM is requesting a 3-year
term of approval for this information
collection activity.
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. Responses are required
to obtain a benefit. The OMB control
number for this collection of
information is listed in 30 CFR 875.10,
which is 1029–0103.
As required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), a
Federal Register notice soliciting
comments on these collections of
information was published on February
1, 2012 (77 FR 5049). OSM received one
comment, but it did not accurately
reflect 30 CFR Part 875, nor was it
germane to this information collection.
Therefore, we have not changed the
collection in response to the comment.
This notice provides the public with
an additional 30 days in which to
comment on the following information
collection activity:
Title: 30 CFR Part 875—Noncoal
Reclamation.
OMB Control Number: 1029–0103.
Summary: This part establishes
procedures and requirements for State
and Indian tribes to conduct noncoal
reclamation using abandoned mine land
funding. The information is needed to
assure compliance with the Surface
