           Subpart 2522_Extensions of Time To Make Final Proof
 
Sec. 2522.4  Act of April 30, 1912.

    (a) Under the provisions of the Act of April 30, 1912 (37 Stat. 106; 
43 U.S.C. 334), a further extension of time may be granted for 
submitting final proof, not exceeding 3 years, where it is shown that, 
because of some unavoidable delay in the construction of irrigation 
works intended to convey water to the land embraced in his entry, the 
claimant is, without fault on his part, unable to make proof of the 
reclamation and cultivation of said lands within the time limited 
therefor, but such further extension cannot be granted for a period of 
more than 3 years nor affect contests initiated for a valid existing 
reason.
    (b) An entryman who has complied with the law as to annual 
expenditures and proof thereof and who desires to make application for 
extension of time under the provisions of the Act of March 28, 1908, 
should file with the authorizing officer a statement setting forth fully 
the facts, showing how and why he has been prevented from making final 
proof of reclamation and cultivation within the regular period. This 
statement must be corroborated by two witnesses who have personal 
knowledge of the facts.
