The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service (FS) seek to renew this collection. The information that is collected assists the BLM and the FS in ensuring that geophysical exploration is conducted in a manner consistent with statutes, regulations, land use plans, and environmental documents. The requested modifications would update forms to incorporate current technology.

Program Changes The BLM and the FS propose to revise the titles of the two forms by removing the words “Oil and Gas.” The FS uses this form to collect information on geophysical exploration for various minerals, including oil and gas under 36 CFR Parts 228 and 251. The agencies also propose to revise the two forms by: • Updating CFR citations; • Updating Privacy Act information; and • Making other revisions noted in the following list. All of these program changes would improve the accuracy and usefulness of the forms. Adjustments The adjustments in hour burden are due to changes in the estimated number of responses, as follows: Notice of Intent and Request to Conduct Geophysical Exploration Operations / Outside Alaska: The number of responses has been adjusted downward by 32, from 45 to 13. This adjustment results in a downward adjustment by 32 hours for this activity, from 45 to 13. Notice of Completion of Geophysical Exploration Operations: The number of responses has been adjusted downward by 45, from 53 to 8. This adjustment results in a downward adjustment by 15 hours for this activity, from 17.67 to 2.67 hours. Cumulatively, the estimated number of responses has been reduced by 77, from 100 to 23. The hour burden has been reduced by 47 hours, from 64.67 hours to 17.67 hours.
