This notice is for renewal of
information collection.
The Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) regulations at 5 CFR part 1320,
which implement the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq., require that interested members
of the public and affected agencies have
an opportunity to comment on
information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d)).
Public Law 97–258 (31 U.S.C. 6901–
6907), as amended, the Payments in
Lieu of Taxes (PILT) Act, was designed
by Congress to help local governments
recover some of the expenses they incur
in providing services on public lands.
These local governments receive funds
under various Federal land payment
programs such as the National Forest
Revenue Act, the Mineral Lands Leasing
Act, and the Taylor Grazing Act. PILT
payments supplement the payments that
local governments receive under these
other programs. The FY 2016 budget
proposes a one-year extension of the
current PILT program, maintaining the
existing formula for calculating
payments to counties. That proposal is
currently pending before Congress. This
renewal authority is being done in
anticipation of reauthorization by
Congress.
The PILT Act requires that the
Governor of each State furnish the
Department of the Interior with a listing
of payments disbursed to local
governments by the States on behalf of
the Federal Government under 12
statutes described in Section 6903 of 31
U.S.C. The Department of the Interior
uses the amounts reported by the States
to reduce PILT payments to units of
general local governments from that
which they might otherwise receive. If
such listings were not furnished by the
Governor of each affected State, the
Department would not be able to
compute the PILT payments to units of
general local government within the
States in question.
In fiscal year 2004, administrative
authority for the PILT program was
