Abstract: This collection of

determine whether operators and
mining claimants are meeting their
responsibility to prevent unnecessary or
undue degradation while conducting
exploration and mining activities on
public lands under the General Mining
Law (30 U.S.C. 22—54.). It also enables
the BLM to obtain financial guarantees
for the reclamation of public lands. This
collection of information is found at 43
CFR subpart 3809 and in the forms
listed above.
Frequency: On occasion.
Description of Respondents:
Operators and mining claimants.
60-Day Notice: As required in 5 CFR
1320.8(d), we published a 60-day notice
in the Federal Register on January 8,
2010 (75 FR 1071), soliciting comments
from the public and other interested
parties. The comment period closed on
March 9, 2010. We received one
comment. The comment was a general
invective about the Federal government,
the Department of the Interior, and the
BLM. It did not address, and was not
germane to, this information collection.
Therefore, we have no response to the
comment.
