Abstract: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 requires Federal agencies to obtain approval from OMB to collect information from the public. All three information collections for the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 (RRA, Public Law 97-293) program must be resubmitted to OMB and reapproved every 3 years due to the timing by which landholders must submit completed, OMB-approved RRA forms as a condition for the receipt of Reclamation irrigation water in a given water year. This particular information collection (1006-0023) contains the RRA forms Reclamation uses to ensure acreage limitation compliance by very specific types of landholders in very specific circumstances, as follows: 1. Certain entity landholders that must pay the full-cost rate for Reclamation irrigation water and that are not required to submit standard landholder RRA forms (i.e., the forms in collection 1006-0005) because the entity does not hold enough land to exceed the RRA forms submittal thresholds set forth by the Acreage Limitation Rules and Regulations (Regulations, 43 CFR 426.18(j)). 2. Certain trust landholders that do not hold enough land to meet the criteria for submitting standard RRA forms, and that must be reviewed by Reclamation as established by the Regulations (43 CFR 426.7(b)(2)). 3. Certain public entity landholders that do not hold enough land to meet the criteria for submitting standard RRA forms, and that must be reviewed by Reclamation to determine proper application of the acreage limitation provisions (including the proper water rate to charge in certain cases) [43 CFR 426.10 and Public Law 91-310]. 4. Certain religious or charitable organization landholders that do not hold enough land to meet the criteria for submitting standard RRA forms, and that must be reviewed by Reclamation to determine proper application of the acreage limitation provisions (including the proper water rate to charge in certain cases) [43 CFR 426.9(b)]. The completion and submittal of RRA forms is required by section 206 of the RRA and 43 CFR 426.18 of the associated Acreage Limitation Rules and Regulations.
