The Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
collects information from respondents for free use permits for
vegetative or mineral materials to: (1) determine whether the
vegetative or mineral materials qualify for free use; (2) determine
if disposal is consistent with local land use plans and
authorities; (3) ensure that the appropriate BLM office issues the
permit; and (4) monitor and assess the use or authorized removals
of vegetative and mineral materials to ensure sustainable resource
management.

The increase in responses is an
adjustment based on an analysis of processed free use permits
received by the BLM. We have increased the estimated completion
time per response from 30 minutes to 2 hours, based on feedback
from respondents. This resulted in a net increase in the total
estimated burden hours, as an adjustment.
