If the entity meets both of those criteria, ask your district office for the appropriate RRA form(s) with instructions and an RRA
Form 7-21INFO. Complete the appropriate RRA form(s) and submit it to the district office for a determination of your entity's acreage
limitation status and entitlements.
* If you answered “YES” above but the entity does not hold more than 40 acres westwide, while the entity is a limited recipient, the
RRA forms requirements do not apply. If you have questions, contact the Reclamation office that sent you this sheet.

• Number 5: Answer the question provided. Enter the date the entity first received Reclamation irrigation water anywhere in the
17 western states, and the name of the district in which that water was received. The answer is “NO” if the entity did not exist
prior to October 1, 1981.
• Number 6: Answer the question provided. Identify land the entity directly or indirectly owns and leases in any other district that
is subject to the acreage limitation provisions.
• Number 7: Answer the question provided. If the entity has any wholly owned subsidiaries (i.e., subsidiaries that are 100% owned

• Number 8: Count all natural persons listed as a part owner (or shareholder, stockholder, etc.) for this entity and for any entity that
wholly or partially owns this entity. Once you have (a) counted more than 25 natural persons, or (b) evaluated all associated
entities for part owners (or shareholders, stockholders, etc.), stop and answer this YES/NO question based on the count you have

limitation purposes, this includes shareholders specifically named on stock certificates, partners identified by a partnership
agreement, tenants specifically named in landownership documents, parties attributed with the land held in trust, etc.) If you
answered “NO,” this entity is not a limited recipient. Attach a separate sheet that lists (1) the name of each part owner, and (2) the
