  • 2025-00510 — Joint Policies of the Departments of the Interior and of the Army Relative to Reservoir Project Lands
    💰
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 4669
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    The Department of the Interior is changing its rules for buying land around reservoir areas. This new rule lets them use different kinds of ownership, like easements, instead of buying the land completely, especially for older reservoirs built before 1962. The rule aims to save money, reduce project completion time, and decrease conflicts with landowners. If there are no strong objections by March 17, 2025, the rule will take effect on April 16, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of the Interior made a new rule that lets them use shortcuts to get pieces of land around old water reservoirs without buying the whole land, which might help them save time and money. If nobody complains a lot by March 17, 2025, they will start using this rule on April 16, 2025.

  • 2025-00132 — Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the Office of Management and Budget for Review and Approval; Color-of-Title Application

    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 1540
    Reading Time:about 4 minutes

    The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), part of the Interior Department, is seeking public comments on renewing their information collection related to the Color-of-Title Application. The purpose is to verify claims under the Color-of-Title Act, where individuals or entities claim land ownership due to long-term possession and investment in the land. This collection involves filling out specific forms, and the BLM estimates that the annual burden for respondents will be 24 hours in total. Comments can be submitted online and are important for refining the process and minimizing public burden.

    Simple Explanation

    The Bureau of Land Management wants to ask people if they should keep using forms that help check if someone owns a piece of land by living on it for a long time and making improvements. They need feedback to make the forms better, but people need to know their comments might be shared with everyone.
