SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
requests the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) to extend an existing
approval to collect certain information
from private landowners. The BLM uses
Form OR 2812–6, Report of Road Use,
to collect this information. This
information allows the BLM to
determine road use and maintenance
fees for logging road right-of-way
permits issued under the O&C Logging
Road Right-of-Way regulations (43 CFR
subpart 2812).
DATES: You must submit your comments
to BLM at the address below on or
before August 8, 2006. BLM will not
necessarily consider any comments
received after the above date.
ADDRESSES: You may mail comments to:
Bureau of Land Management, (WO–
630), Eastern States Office, 7450 Boston
Blvd., Springfield, Virginia 22153.
You may send comments via Internet
to: [email protected].
Please include ‘‘ATTN: 1004–0168’’ and
your name and return address in your
Internet message.
You may deliver comments to the
Bureau of Land Management,
Administrative Record, Room 401, 1620
L Street, NW., Washington, DC.
All comments will be available for
public review at the L Street address

during regular business hours (7:45 a.m.
to 4:15 p.m.), Monday through Friday.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You
may contact John Styduhar, BLM
Oregon State Office, on (503) 952–6454
(Commercial or FTS). Persons who use
a telecommunications device for the
deaf (TDD) may call the Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–
800–877–8330, 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, to contact Mr. Styduhar.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 5 CFR
1320.12(a) requires that we provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning a collection of information
to solicit comments on:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
functioning of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of our estimates of
the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions we
use;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use
of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
BLM may authorize private
landowners in western Oregon to
transport their timber over BLMcontrolled roads under Title V of the
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1761). The
logging road right-of-way permits that
BLM issues are subject to the
requirements of the O&C Logging Road
Right-of-Way regulations (43 CFR
subpart 2812). As a condition of each
right-of-way permit, a permittee must
provide us with a certified statement
containing the amount of timber
removed, the lands from which the
timber was removed, and the BLM roads
used to transport the timber. Permittees
must submit this information on a
quarterly basis using the Form OR–
2812–6, Report of Road Use.
The fees we receive for road use
contribute to the recovery of costs
incurred in the construction of forest
access roads. The fees we collect for
road maintenance are reimbursements

PO 00000

Frm 00048

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

for services we provide to maintain
roads. If we did not require the
collection of information included in
the Repot of Road Use form, it would
not be possible to determine payment
amounts, ledger account status, or
monitor compliance with the terms and
conditions of the permit. The cost for
services we provide would not be
collected in a timely manner if we
reduce the frequency of reporting. This
has a direct effect on the ability of BLM
to properly maintain its road system,
protect the road investment, and
provide safe and efficient access to the
public lands.
Based on our experience
administering the activities described
above, we estimate the public reporting
burden for the information collected is
1 hour per response. The 400
respondents include individuals,
partnerships, and corporations engaged
to remove and transport timber and
other forest products. The frequency of
response is quarterly. We estimate 1,600
responses per year and a total annual
burden of 1,600 hours.
BLM will summarize all responses to
this notice and include them in the
request for OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of
public record.
