Title: Lower Colorado River Well Inventory.
OMB No.: Reinstatement of OMB No. 1006-0014.
Description of respondents: All diversions of mainstream Colorado
River water along the lower Colorado River must be accounted for and,
for non-Indian diverters, in accordance with a water use contract with
the Secretary of the Interior. Each diverter (including well pumpers)
must be identified and their diversion locations and water use
determined. This requires an inventory of wells along the lower
Colorado River and the gathering of specific information concerning
each well.
Frequency: These data will be collected only once for each well
owner or operator as long as changes in water use, or other changes
that would impact contractual or administrative requirements are not
made.
Estimated completion time: An average of 30 minutes is required for
Reclamation to interview individual well owners or operators.
Reclamation will use the information collected during these interviews
to complete the information collection form.
Annual responses: 1,000.
Anual burden hours: 500 hours.
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 forms. the Federal Register notice with a 60-
day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of
information was published on May 21, 1999 (64 FR 27806).
OMB has up to 60 days to approve or disapprove this information
collection, but may respond after 30 days; therefore, public comment
should be submitted to OMB within 30 days in order to assure maximum
consideration.
