I. Abstract

II. Data
(1) Title: Take Pride in America
National Awards; Application/
Nomination Process.
OMB Control Number: 1093–0004.
Current Expiration Date: March 31,
2010.
Type of Review: Information
Collection Renewal.
Affected Entities: Individuals or
households. Businesses and other
institutions. State, local and tribal
Governments.
Estimated annual number of
respondents: 130.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
(2) Annual reporting and record
keeping burden:
Average annual reporting burden per
respondent: 1 hour
Total annual reporting: 130 hours.
(3) Description of the need and use of
the information: The statutorily required
information is needed to provide the
Office of the Secretary with a vehicle to
collect the information needed to
include individuals and organizations
nominated by the public in applicant
pools for TPIA National Awards and to
recognize them for the valuable
contributions that they make in support
of the stewardship of America’s lands,
facilities, and cultural and natural
resources.
(4) As required under 5 CFR
1320.8(d), a Federal Register notice
soliciting comments on the information
collection was published on October 16,
2009 (74 FR 53288). One comment was
received. This comment was not
directed at the information collection,
and thus resulted in no change. This
notice provides the public with an
additional 30 days in which to comment
on the proposed information collection
activity.

Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) regulations at 5 CFR part 1320,
which implement the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13),
require that interested members of the
public and affected parties have an
opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping activities
(see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)). This notice
identifies an information collection
activity that the Office of the Secretary,
Take Pride in America has submitted to
OMB for renewal.
Under the Take Pride in America
Program Act (the Act), 16 U.S.C. 46–01–
4608, the Secretary of the Interior is to:
(1) ‘‘Conduct a national awards program
to honor those individuals and entities
which, in the opinion of the Secretary
* * * have distinguished themselves in
activities’’ under the purposes of the
Act, and also to (2) ‘‘establish and
maintain a public awareness campaign
in cooperation with public and private
organizations and individuals—(A) To
instill in the public the importance of
the appropriate use of, and appreciation
for Federal, State and local lands,
facilities, and natural and cultural
resources; (B) to encourage an attitude
of stewardship and responsibility
towards these lands, facilities, and
resources; and (C) to promote
participation by individuals,
organizations, and communities of a
conservation ethic in caring for these
lands, facilities, and resources.’’ The Act
states that ‘‘[t]he Secretary is authorized
* * * generally to do any and all lawful
acts necessary or appropriate to further
the purposes of the TPIA Program.’’
If this information were not collected
from the public, Take Pride in America
awards would be limited to individuals
and organizations nominated by Federal
agencies based on projects within their
sphere of influence. This would
effectively block many worthy
individuals and organizations from
being considered for these awards. The
TPIA Program was launched in April of
2003 with the stated intent of honoring
the best in the Nation, without
restriction. It would reflect poorly on
the Department and on the President if
only volunteers to Federal agencies

information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility;

(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(d) Ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
‘‘Burden’’ means the total time, effort,
or financial resources expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain,
disclose or provide information to or for
a Federal agency. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; to
develop, acquire, install and utilize
technology and systems for the purpose
of collecting, validating and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; to train
personnel and to be able to respond to
a collection of information, to search
data sources, to complete and review
the collection of information; and to
transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
All written comments, with names
and addresses, will be available for
public inspection in the Main Interior
Building, 1849 C Street, NW.,
Washington, DC during normal business
hours, excluding legal holidays. If you
wish us to withhold your personal
information, you must prominently state
at the beginning of your comment what
personal information you want us to
withhold. We will honor your request to
the extent allowable by law. For an
appointment to inspect comments,
please contact Lisa Young by telephone
on (202) 208–7586, or by e-mail at
[email protected]. A valid picture

respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid
Office of Management and Budget
control number.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Bureau of Land Management
[LLWO250000.L12200000.PM0000]

Renewal of Approved Information
Collection, OMB Control Number 1004–
0119
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: 60-day notice and request for
comments.
SUMMARY: In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
announces its intention to request that
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) renew OMB Control Number
1004–0119 for the paperwork
requirements in 43 CFR part 2930,
which pertain to permits for recreation
on public lands. The BLM is also
proposing to revise Form 2930–1
(Special Recreation Application and
Permit) to be used only as Special
Recreation Application. OMB approval
of the new Special Recreation Permit
would not be required, since it would be
completed by the BLM.
DATES: Please submit your comments to
the BLM at the address below on or
before May 24, 2010.
ADDRESSES: You may mail comments to:
U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau
of Land Management, Mail Stop 401–
LS, 1849 C St., NW., Washington, DC
20240, Attention: 1004–0119. You may
also comment by e-mail at:
[email protected].
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You
may contact Judi Zuckert at 202–912–
7093. Persons who use a
telecommunication device for the deaf
(TDD) may call the Federal Information
Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–800–877–
8339, to contact Ms. Zuckert. You may
also contact Ms. Zuckert to obtain a
copy, at no cost, of the regulations and
forms that require this collection of
information.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB
regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which
implement provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501–3521),
require that interested members of the
public and affected agencies be
provided an opportunity to comment on
information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)). This notice
identifies information collections that
are contained in 43 CFR part 2930. The
BLM will request that the OMB approve
this information collection activity, as
revised with respect to Form 2930–1, for
a 3-year term.

At present, Form 2930–1 is both an
application and a permit for special
recreational uses of public lands. We are
proposing to revise Form 2930–1 to be
used only as an application, because
certain elements of a proposed activity
or event in the application may differ
from the actual terms of the final permit
that is issued. Developing a separate
permit would enable the BLM to clearly
describe the permitted activity or event.
The BLM would complete the Special
Recreation Permit upon review of the
information supplied by the respondent
on Form 2930–1. The new permit would
have to be signed by representatives of
both the BLM and the respondent in
order to become effective, but merely
signing a form does not constitute a
burden, as defined by the Paperwork
Reduction Act at 44 U.S.C. 3502(2).
Accordingly, OMB clearance for the
new Special Recreation Permit is not
required.
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 the
BLM’s submission of the information
collection requests to OMB.
The following information is provided
for the information collection:
Title: Permits for Recreation on Public
Lands (43 CFR part 2930).
Form: Form 2930–1, Special
Recreation Permit Application.
OMB Control Number: 1004–0119.
Abstract: This notice pertains to
information collections that are
necessary for the management of
recreation on public lands. The
currently approved information
collection consists of the collection of
nonform information in accordance
with 43 CFR part 2930, and Form 2930–
1 (Special Recreation Permit
Application and Permit). As discussed
above, we are proposing to revise Form
2930–1 to be used only as a Special
Recreation Permit Application.
Frequency: On occasion.
Currently Approved Number and
Description of Respondents: 365,845
applicants for and holders of permits for
recreational use of public lands
managed by the BLM.
Currently Approved Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: 365,845
responses and 375,995 hours. The
following chart details the individual
components and respective hour burden
