SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which
implement provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501-

agencies be given an opportunity to comment on information collection
and recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)). This
notice identifies an information collection that the BLM will be
submitting to OMB for approval. The Paperwork Reduction Act provides

approves a collection of information, you are not obligated to respond.
The BLM will request a 3-year term of approval for this information
collection

information for the performance of the functions of the agency; (2) the
accuracy of the agency's burden estimates; (3) ways to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4)
ways to minimize the information collection burden on respondents, such
as use of automated means of collection of the information. A summary
of the public comments will accompany our submission of the information
collection requests to OMB. Before including your address, telephone
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in
your comments, be advised that your entire comment--including your
