OMB 1004-0220 · DOI/BLM.

OMB 1004-0220

Various Federal and Indian mineral leasing statutes authorize the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to grant and manage onshore oil and gas leases on Federal and Indian (except Osage Tribe) lands. In order to fulfill its responsibilities under these statutes, the BLM needs to perform the information collection (IC) activities set forth in the regulations at 43 CFR 3160, 3171, 3172, 3176, and 3177. This request is being submitted to the OMB in association with the BLM’s final rule pertaining to fluid mineral leasing requirements (RIN 1004-AE80). Many of the IC activities have been taken from OMB Control Number 1004-0137.

The latest form for Onshore oil and Gas Operations and Production 43 CFR 3160 AND 3170 expires 2027-10-31 and is listed under ICR 202311-1004-006.
