Attention: This certificate must be signed and dated. Read the following
paragraphs before signing.
Under the provisions of 18 U.S.C. 1001, it is a crime punishable by 5 years imprisonment or a
fine of up to $10,000, or both, for any person to knowingly and willfully submit or cause to be
submitted to any agency of the United States any false or fraudulent statement(s) as to any matter
within the agency’s jurisdiction. False statements by the landowner or lessee will also result in loss of
eligibility.
I (we) attest that the information provided herein is true, accurate, and complete to the best of my
(our) knowledge and agree that any change in the landholdings information contained in this
certification will be provided verbally to this district within 30 calendar days of such change, and that
new forms will be submitted within 60 calendar days of such change. I (we) further attest that any
leases of land receiving irrigation water to which I am (we are) a party are in writing and have terms
that do not exceed 10 years, except perennial crop leases which cannot exceed 25 years and must
have written approval from the Bureau of Reclamation. I (we) also attest that,
in my (our) best judgment, the rent paid on any land leased by or from me (us) that is receiving
irrigation water reflects the reasonable value of the irrigation water to the productivity of the land.
In addition, I (we) attest that all landholdings of both spouses, if married, are held directly and have
been identified on this form.
