Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 245 / Wednesday, December 21, 2016 / Notices

BLM provided the Utah Governor with
a detailed response and made editorial
modifications in preparing the
Approved NCA RMPs and RMP
Amendment to address issues raised by
the Governor. The NCA RMPs are the
culmination of a significant effort by the
BLM and interested members of the
public, community stakeholders, and
other local, state and federal partners to
provide long-term management
direction for the first NCAs designated
by Congress in Utah.
Certain decisions in the Approved
NCA RMPs are implementation
decisions and are appealable to the
Interior Board of Land Appeals. These
implementation level decisions are
noted in the RODs for the Beaver Dam
Wash and Red Cliffs NCAs (under
livestock grazing and recreation) and are
appealable under 43 CFR part 4. Any
party adversely affected by the
implementation level decisions may
appeal within 30 days of publication of
this Notice of Availability in accordance
with the provisions of 43 CFR, part 4,
subpart E. The appeal should state the
specific numbered decision and the
rationale for the appeal. Within 30 days
of the posting of this decision (‘‘date of
service’’), a Notice of Appeal must be
filed in writing to: State Director-BLM
Utah State Office 440 West 200 South,
Suite 500 Salt Lake City, Utah 84101–
1345. At the same time, a copy of the
Notice of Appeal must also be sent to:
Regional Solicitor—U.S. Department of
the Interior, 6201 Federal Building,
1235 South State Street, Salt Lake City,
Utah 84138–1180.
Please consult the appropriate
regulations (43 CFR, part 4, subpart E)
for further appeal requirements.
Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6.
Edwin L. Roberson,
State Director.

pricing thresholds, lease requirements,
and other provisions of Federal
reclamation law. In addition, forms are
submitted by certain farm operators to

acres depending on the district’s RRA
forms submittal threshold category
where the land is held. Only farm
operators who provide multiple services
to more than 960 acres held in trusts or
by legal entities are required to submit
forms.

AGENCY:

We, the Bureau of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Abstract
Identification of limited recipients—
Some entities that receive Reclamation
irrigation water may believe that they
are under the Reclamation Reform Act
of 1982 (RRA) forms submittal threshold
and, consequently, may not submit the
appropriate RRA form(s). However,
some of these entities may in fact have
a different RRA forms submittal

PO 00000

Frm 00055

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

threshold than what they believe it to be
due to the number of natural persons
benefiting from each entity and the
location of the land held by each entity.
In addition, some entities that are
exempt from the requirement to submit
RRA forms due to the size of their
landholdings (directly and indirectly
owned and leased land) may in fact be
receiving Reclamation irrigation water
for which the full-cost rate must be paid
because the start of Reclamation
irrigation water deliveries occurred after
October 1, 1981 [43 CFR 426.6(b)(2)].
The information obtained through
completion of the Limited Recipient
Identification Sheet (Form 7–2536)
allows us to establish entities’
compliance with Federal reclamation
law. The Limited Recipient
Identification Sheet is disbursed at our
discretion.
Trust review—In order to administer
section 214 of the RRA and 43 CFR
426.7, we are required to review and
approve all trusts. Land held in trust
generally will be attributed to the
beneficiaries of the trust rather than the
trustee if the criteria specified in the
RRA and 43 CFR 426.7 are met. We may
extend the option to complete and
submit for our review the Trust
Information Sheet (Form 7–2537)
instead of actual trust documents when
we become aware of trusts with a
relatively small landholding (40 acres or
less in districts subject to the prior law
provisions of Federal reclamation law,
240 acres or less in districts subject to
the discretionary provisions of Federal
reclamation law). If we find nothing on
the completed Trust Information Sheet
that would warrant the further
investigation of a particular trust, that
trustee will not be burdened with
submitting trust documents to us for indepth review. The Trust Information
Sheet is disbursed at our discretion.
