    Title: Summary of Water Requirements for Crops Grown on Eligible

standardize the submission of data from the Sacramento River settlement

information requested is required to ensure the proper implementation 
of 43 CFR 426.15 and the commingling provisions in the Sacramento River 
settlement contracts.
    Description of respondents: There are approximately 44 Sacramento 
River settlement contractors (individuals/districts) that are required 
to file Form LS-924 for the purpose of contract administration.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Estimated completion time: An average of 60 minutes per respondent.
    Annual responses: 44 respondents.
    Annual burden hours: 44.
    An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. Reclamation will display a valid 
OMB control number on the form.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day comment period soliciting 
comments on this collection of information was published on April 14,

collection of information during the comment period.
    OMB has up to 60 days to approve or disapprove this information 
collection, but may respond after 30 days; therefore, public comment

    Our practice is to make comments, including names and home 
addresses of respondents, available for public review. Individual 
respondents may request that we withhold their home address from public 
disclosure, which we will honor to the extent allowable by law. There 
also may be circumstances in which we would withhold a respondent's 
identity from public disclosure, as allowable by law. If you wish us to 
withhold your name and/or address, you must state this prominently at 
the beginning of your comment. We will make all submissions from 
organizations or businesses, and from individuals identifying 
themselves as representatives or officials of organizations or 
businesses, available for public disclosure in their entirety.
