Abstract: The BLM seeks to renew
OMB control number 1004–0121
pertaining to the leasing of solid
minerals other than coal and oil shale
on Federal land, and the development of
those leases. The BLM’s regulations at
43 CFR part 3500 apply to certain types
of leasable minerals (i.e., solid minerals
other than coal and oil shale), but not
to Indian lands or minerals except
where expressly noted. The regulations
at 43 CFR part 3580 apply to gold,
silver, and quicksilver in confirmed
private land grants, and to leasable
minerals in specified locations. The
information collections contained in 43
CFR part 3590 are necessary to enable
the BLM to fulfill its statutory
responsibilities under certain Federal
mineral leasing laws and BLM’s
regulations at 43 CFR part 3500 and
serve to help the BLM to govern the
leasing of solid minerals other than coal
and oil shale on Federal land, and the
development of those leases.
Accordingly, the respondents affected
by this information collection request
are those who desire to obtain lease for
Federal solid minerals other than coal
and oil shale, and operators of such
leases. The regulations at 43 CFR part
3590 apply to operations for discovery,
testing, development, mining,
reclamation, and processing. OMB
control number 1004–0121 is currently
scheduled to expire on October 31,
2022. The BLM plans to request that
OMB renew this OMB control number
of an additional three years.
