Abstract: This notice identifies an
information collection activity that the
Office of Financial Management has
submitted to OMB for approval for the
Department and its bureaus to continue
to collect information from proposed
donors relative to their relationship(s)
with the Department. The Department
and its individual bureaus have gift
acceptance authorities. In support of the
variety of donation authorities in the
Department and increasing numbers of
donations, it is the policy of the
Department to ask those proposing to
donate gifts valued at $25,000 or more
to provide information regarding their
relationship with the Department. The
purpose of this policy is to ensure that
the acceptance of a gift does not create
legal or ethical issues for the
Department, its bureaus, or potential
donors. The information will be
gathered through the use of a form that
collects information relevant to the
acceptability of the proposed donation
in conformance with the Department’s
donations policy. The form is completed
and certified by the prospective donor
then submitted to the Department or its
bureau for review. Having the donor
certify his or her interactions with the
Department gives the staff vetting the
proposed donation basic information to
be verified, resulting in a more efficient
and timely donation review process.
The information collected is as
follows:

behalf of an organization.

with the Department.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Barrick
Cortez, Inc. (BCI) is proposing to expand
its existing Cortez Hills Project mining
operations, which is located southeast
of Battle Mountain in Eureka and
Lander Counties, Nevada. There are
54,825 acres of public lands within the
Plan of Operations boundary that are
administered by the BLM Mount Lewis
Field Office, and 3,268 acres of private
lands controlled by BCI. BCI was
previously authorized to disturb 16,700
acres within their Plan of Operations
boundary.
The proposed mine expansion, named
the Deep South Expansion Project
(Proposed Project) would require a
modification to the Plan of Operations
to increase the plan boundary by 4,279
acres: From 58,093 acres to 62,372 acres.
The proposed modification would result
in approximately 3,798 acres of new
disturbance inside the new proposed
plan boundary, of which 2,768 acres are
public lands.
BCI currently employs about 1,250
people from the northern Nevada towns
of Elko, Battle Mountain, Winnemucca,
Eureka, Carlin, and surrounding areas. If
the Deep South Expansion Project is
approved, the company expects to
extend the mine life and employment
opportunities for its workforce by
another 12 years.
BCI’s purpose for the Deep South
Expansion Project is to continue to
profitably recover gold and silver from
reserves and resources on federal
mining claims in the Project Area
utilizing, to the extent practical, existing
facilities at BCI’s currently permitted
operations within the Project Area. The
project need is to meet the prevailing
market demand for gold. The prevailing
market demand is adjusted on a daily
basis on commodity exchanges
throughout the world. This adjustment
results from buyers and sellers agreeing
