I. Abstract
The Bureau of Reclamation
(Reclamation) is responsible for
approximately 6.5 million acres of land
which directly support Reclamation’s
Federal water projects in the 17 western
states. Individuals or entities wanting to
use Reclamation’s lands, facilities, or
waterbodies must submit an application
to gain permission for such uses.
Examples of such uses are:
—Agricultural uses such as grazing and
farming;
—commercial or organized recreation
and sporting activities;

—other commercial activities such as
‘‘guiding and outfitting’’ and ‘‘filming
and photography;’’ and
—resource exploration and extraction,
including sand and gravel removal
and timber harvesting.
Reclamation reviews applications to
determine whether granting individual
use authorizations is compatible with
Reclamation’s present or future uses of
the lands, facilities, or waterbodies.
When we find a proposed use
compatible, we advise the applicant of
the estimated administrative costs and
estimated application processing time.
In addition to the administrative costs,
we require the applicant to pay a use fee
based on a valuation or by competitive
bidding. If the application is for
construction of a bridge, building, or
other significant construction project,
Reclamation may require that all plans
and specifications be signed and sealed
by a licensed professional engineer.
OMB Control Number: 1006–0003.
