The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is amending its existing Onshore Oil and Gas Order Number 1 to require the electronic filing (or e-filing) of all Applications for Permit to Drill (APD) and Notices of Staking (NOS). The amended Order also authorizes operators to seek a waiver of the e-filing requirements. APDs are currently included in OMB control number 1004-0137, and NOSs are in use without a control number. The waiver request is a new information collection activity. After the rule goes into effect, the BLM plans to seek to merge the revised Order's information-collection activities with control no. 1004-0137.

After this rule becomes effective, the BLM intends to ask OMB to combine the requirements and burdens of this rule with existing control number 1004-0137, which currently authorizes the BLM to collect information on APDs. Upon revision or renewal of control number 1004-0137, the burdens for APDs will be adjustments to control number 1004-0137. The burdens for NOSs will be program changes to control number 1004-0137 because they constitute an existing collection of information that is in use without a control number. The burdens for waiver requests will be program changes to control number 1004-0137 because they constitute a new collection of information.
