SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB
regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which

require that interested members of the

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

collection of information, you are not

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
