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.
