OMB 1004-0121

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) seeks to renew with changes the information collection pertaining to the leasing of solid minerals other than coal and oil shale other than coal and oil shale on Federal land, and the development of those leases. Respondents affected by this information collection request are those who desire to obtain a lease for Federal minerals other than coal and oil shale, and operators of such leases. The regulations at 43 CFR part 3500 apply to operations for discovery, testing, development, mining, reclamation, and processing. The direct final rule for Part 3500 (RIN 1004-AF18) removes outdated information collections from the BLM’s regulations.
