Land, 43 CFR part 428. The forms in this information collection are to
be used by district offices to summarize individual landholder (direct
or indirect landowner or lessee) and farm operator certification and
reporting forms. This information allows us to establish water user
compliance with Federal reclamation law.

The changes made to the currently approved RRA forms and the
corresponding instructions are of an editorial nature, and are designed
