SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies 
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and 
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact 
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information 
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired 
format.
    We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described 
below. We are especially interested in public comments addressing the 
following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper 
functions of the BLM; (2) will this information be processed and used 
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 
might the BLM enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the BLM minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone 
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in 
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including 
your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available 
at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your 
personal identifying information from public review, we cannot 
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    Abstract: Control number 1004-0058, as currently approved, 
authorizes the collection of information that assists the BLM in 
enforcing timber export and substitution prohibitions.
    The BLM now requests that control number 1004-0058 be renewed and 
revised by adding 2 information collection activities that have been in 
use without a control number.
    One addition, ``Log Scale and Disposition of Timber Removed 
Report,'' requires purchasers of Federal timber to report volumes of 
timber removed from Federal lands, and to identify processors of 
timber. Like the previously approved information collection activities, 
this activity assists the BLM in enforcing timber export and 
substitution prohibitions.
    The other addition, ``Protests,'' provides an opportunity to seek 
administrative remedies for forest management decisions.
    Title of Collection: Forest Management Decision Protest Process and 
Log Export and Substitution.
    OMB Control Number: 1004-0058.
    Form Numbers: 5450-17, 5460-15, and 5460-17.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Purchasers of Federal timber, their 
affiliates, and any person who wishes to protest a BLM forest 
management decision.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 325.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 325.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from 1 to 10 hours, 
depending on activity.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 550.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain or Retain a Benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
    Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $0.
    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.
    The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq).

Jean Sonneman,
Information Collection Clearance Officer, Bureau of Land Management.
