USC 1732 Name of Law: Federal Land Policy and Management
Act
In addition to a number of
adjustments due to changes in burden estimates, this request
includes one program change we added a separate analysis of the
burdens for complex applications from the private sector. In the
previous Information Collection Request, we averaged the burdens
for typical and complex private-sector applications, but the
burdens for each type are so different from each other, we have
come to believe that the average misrepresented the burdens for
both types of applications. We made this program change in order to
more accurately disclose the burdens for both complex and typical
applications.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).

the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
