SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB
regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which

This notice identifies an information
collection that the BLM will be

Paperwork Reduction Act provides that
an agency may not conduct or sponsor
a collection of information unless it

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 OMB.
Before including your address,
telephone number, e-mail address, or
other personal identifying information
in your comment, be advised that your
entire comment—including your

While you can ask in your comment to
