      CHAPTER I--BUREAU OF RECLAMATION, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
 
PART 428--INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS FOR CERTAIN FARM OPERATIONS IN EXCESS OF 960 ACRES AND THE ELIGIBILITY OF CERTAIN FORMERLY EXCESS LAND--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 428.9  Farm operators who are former owners of excess land.

    (a) Land held in trust or by a legal entity may not receive 
irrigation water if:
    (1) You owned the land when the land was excess, whether or not 
under recordable contract;
    (2) You sold or transferred the land at a price approved by 
Reclamation; and
    (3) You are the direct or indirect farm operator of that land.
    (b) This section does not apply if:
    (1) The formerly excess land becomes exempt from the acreage 
limitations of Federal reclamation law; or
    (2) The full-cost rate is paid for any irrigation water delivered to 
your formerly excess land that is otherwise eligible to receive 
irrigation water. If you are a part owner of a legal entity that is the 
direct or indirect farm operator of the land in question, then the full-
cost rate will apply to the proportional share of the land that reflects 
your interest in that legal entity.
