Abstract: Section 209(b) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (43 U.S.C. § 1719) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to convey Federally-owned mineral interests to non-Federal owners of the surface estate. The respondents in this information collection are non-Federal owners of surface estates who apply for underlying Federally-owned mineral interests. This information collection enables the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to determine if the applicants are eligible to receive title to the Federally-owned mineral interests beneath their lands. This request is for OMB to renewal this OMB control number for an additional three (3) years.
