                    TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS: INTERIOR
 
      CHAPTER I--BUREAU OF RECLAMATION, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
 
PART 426--ACREAGE LIMITATION RULES AND REGULATIONS (Eff. 1-1-98)--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 426.10  Public entities.

    (a) Application of the acreage limitation provisions to public 
entities. Reclamation does not subject public entities to the acreage 
limitation provisions of Federal reclamation law with respect to land 
that Reclamation determines public entities farm primarily for 
nonrevenue producing functions. However, public entities are required to 
meet certification and reporting requirements as specified in 
Sec. 426.18.
    (b) Sale of public land. Reclamation does not require public 
entities to seek price approval before they sell nonexempt lands. Once 
sold, Reclamation can make irrigation water available to such land if 
the purchaser meets RRA eligibility requirements.
    (c) Leasing of public land. Public entities can lease irrigation 
land that they own or control to eligible landholders. Land leased from 
a public entity counts towards the lessee's ownership and nonfull-cost 
entitlement.
