Abstract: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) collects the information from respondents in order to: • Enforce statutory restrictions on: (1) exports of unprocessed timber purchased from Federal lands west of the 100th meridian in the contiguous 48 states; (2) the use of such timber in substitution for exported timber originating from private lands; and (3) the purchase of such timber by a person who has exported such timber during the preceding 24-month period; • Collect disposition data (i.e. how much timber is harvested or processed by small businesses) that help the Small Business Administration establish targets for the BLM to set aside a percentage of sales that must be offered exclusively to small businesses for certain geographical area.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: The BLM made a change in the final rule by eliminating the protest process in §5003.3 and replacing it with a requirement to provide an opportunity for public participation resulting in a reduction of 25 annual responses and 250 annual burden hours as compared to the burden currently inventoried by OMB. Additionally, the final rule updates the time period for tracking and reporting the export of private timber for a purchaser or an affiliate of a purchaser of Federal timber from 1 year to 2 years. This revision is intended to bring the rule into conformance with the Forest Resources Conservation and Shortage Relief Act of 1990, as amended. There are no changes to the information collected and this change had no impact on the burden for collecting the information.
