respond. In order to obtain and renew
an OMB control number, Federal
agencies are required to seek public
comment on information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)).
As required at 5 CFR 1320.8(d), the
BLM published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register on September 4, 2012
(77 FR 53905), and the comment period
ended November 4, 2012. The BLM
received no comments. The BLM now
requests comments on the following
subjects:
1. Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
functioning of the BLM, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. The accuracy of the BLM’s estimate
of the burden of collecting the
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
3. The quality, utility and clarity of
the information to be collected; and
4. How to minimize the information
collection burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other forms of
information technology.

Abstract: On its face, the General

authorizes a holder of an unpatented
claim for hardrock minerals to apply for
fee title (patent) to the Federal land (as
well as minerals) embraced in the claim.
Since 1994, a rider on the annual
appropriation bill for the Department of
the Interior has prevented the BLM from
processing mineral patent applications
unless the applications were
grandfathered under the initial
legislation. While grandfathered

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM
prepared the GJFO Draft RMP/Draft EIS
to analyze and revise the current
management decisions for public lands
and resources within the GJFO planning
area. The current management decisions
for resources are described in the Grand
Junction Record of Decision and
Approved Resource Management Plan
(RMP) (approved January, 1987), as
amended (1987 GJFO RMP).
The GJFO planning area includes
approximately 2.2 million acres of BLM,
National Park Service, U.S. Forest
Service, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation,
state, local, and private lands located in
northwestern Colorado, primarily in
Mesa and Garfield counties, with
additional small tracts located in
Montrose and Rio Blanco counties.
Within the GJFO planning area, the
BLM administers approximately 1.1
million surface acres and 1.2 million
acres of Federal oil and gas mineral
(subsurface) estate. Surface management
decisions made as a result of this Draft
RMP/Draft EIS will apply only to the
BLM-administered lands in the GJFO
planning area.
The formal public scoping process for
the GJFO RMP/EIS began on October 15,
2008, with the publication of a Notice
of Intent in the Federal Register, and
ended on January 9, 2009. The BLM
held three scoping open houses in
December 2008. The BLM held an
additional six public workshops in
February 2009 for travel management
data collection to give the public the
opportunity to review its route
inventory for completeness and
accuracy, as well as offer suggestions for
possible reroutes or new routes that
