Abstract: The USGS manages the
National Hydrography Dataset (NHD),
Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD),
and National Hydrography Dataset Plus
High Resolution (NHDPlus HR). All
three hydrography datasets are userdriven data, where state stewards, or
USGS trained editors, perform edits to
support data accuracy. The USGS role is
also to provide an appropriate editing
tool, offer technical support, and to
distribute the datasets to the public at
no cost via The National Map and,
ultimately, US Topo.
‘‘Markup Application’’ is the name of
the USGS web application that allows
citizen participation in volunteer map
data collection activities for
hydrography datasets. The Markup
Application allows citizens to submit
proposed changes and corrections,
called markups, to the NHD, WBD, and
NHDPlus HR by drawing newly
proposed geographic features on the
map or by filling out a form that
explains a suggested change for a
selected feature. All submitted markups,
along with the user email contact, are
saved in a database to be reviewed by
NHD or WBD state stewards, or USGS
staff, for validation. State stewards or
USGS staff may contact the data
volunteer via the recorded email
address if further clarification is needed
for a proposed change. Validated
markups go in a queue of edits to be
incorporated into the NHD, WBD or
NHDPlus HR. The edits are made by
NHD or WBD state stewards, or USGS
editors using established editing tools.
No edits to the hydrography datasets
take place within the Markup
Application.

Abstract: This information collection
enables the BLM to regulate the use and

claimants who want to undertake the
activities that are necessary in order to
locate a mining claim or mill site. This
request is for OMB to extend approval
of this OMB control number for an
additional three (3) years.

Abstract: This control number applies
to the exploration, development, and
utilization of oil shale resources on the
BLM-managed public lands. Currently,
the only oil shale leases issued by the
BLM are research, development, and
demonstration (RD&D) leases. However,
the BLM regulations provide a
framework for commercial oil shale
leasing and additionally include
provisions for conversion of RD&D
leases to commercial leases. Section 369
of the Energy Policy Act (42 U.S.C.
15927) addresses oil shale development
and authorizes the Secretary of the
Interior to establish regulations for a
commercial leasing program for oil
shale. The Mineral Leasing Act of 1920
(30 U.S.C. 241(a)) provides the authority
for the BLM to allow for the exploration,
development, and utilization of oil shale
resources on the BLM-managed public
lands. Additional statutory authorities
for the oil shale program are: (1) The
Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands
of 1947 (30 U.S.C. 351–359); and (2) The
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act (FLPMA) of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et
seq., including 43 U.S.C. 1732). This
request is for OMB to renewal this OMB
control number for an additional three
(3) years.
Title of Collection: Oil Shale
Management (43 CFR parts 3900, 3910,
3920, and 3930).
OMB Control Number: 1004–0201.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Applicants for oil shale leases, oil shale
lessees and oil shale operators.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 2.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 24.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Varies from the number of
minutes/hours per response.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1,795.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: $526,667.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
