Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) have separate OMB approvals for the same Standard Form, the SF-299 "Application for Transportation and Utility Systems and Facilities on Federal Lands." The Forest Service approval is OMB control number 0596-0082. The BLM approval is OMB control number 1004-0189. The SF-299 is being used by all the Federal land management agencies. Neither the Forest Service approval nor the BLM approval covers such use by these other agencies. The first OMB approval of this Standard Form was in 1986 for the Forest Service. The first approval of the BLM version of the SF-299 was thirteen years later, in 1999
OMB control number 1004-0189 is due to expire on April 30, 2012.
This information collection is necessary for Forest Service and DOI to issue and administer special use authorizations that allow the public to use and occupy public lands. The information collected is used by Forest Service and DOI officials (unless otherwise noted) to ensure that uses of public lands are authorized, in the public interest, and compatible with the Agencies' missions; and/or record authorization of use granted by appropriate Forest Service or DOI officials.
