SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which
implement provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501-
3521, require that interested members of the public and affected
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 the OMB for approval. The Paperwork Reduction Act
provides that an agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of
information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. Until OMB
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 activity. Comments are invited on: (1) The need for the
collection of 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 the 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 personal identifying
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can
ask in your comment to withhold from public review your personal
identifying information, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do
so.
