Title: Geothermal Resource Leasing 

(43 CFR part 3200 through 3287). 

OMB Control Number: 1004–0132. 

Abstract: The BLM manages the 

leasing and development of geothermal 

resources under the regulations at (43 

CFR part 3200 through 3287). These 

regulations implement the following 

statutes: 

(1) The Energy Policy Act of 2005 

(Pub. L. 109–58); 

(2) The Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 

(30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.); 

(3) The Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 

(30 U.S.C. 1001–1028), as amended; 

(4) The Act of August 7, 1947 

(Mineral Leasing Act of Acquired 

Lands) (30 U.S.C. 351–359); 

(5) The Department of the Interior 

Appropriations Act of 1981 (42 U.S.C. 

6508); 

(6) The Attorney General’s Opinion of 

April 2, 1941 (40 Op. Atty. Gen. 41); 

(7) The Federal Property and 

Administrative Services Act of 1949 (40 

U.S.C. 471 et seq.) provides the 

authority for leasing lands acquired 

from the General Services 

Administration; and 

(8) The National Environmental 

Policy Act of 1969. The BLM uses this 

information to approve lease activities 

for geothermal resources and unit 

agreements, process nominations for 

geothermal lease sales, and monitor 

compliance with granted approvals. In 

most cases, we do not require a specific 

form to collect the required resource 

and environmental information, since 

we generally gather the information 

through the course of industry 

operations. 

Burden Estimate per Form: We 

estimate the completion time for this 

form and non-form information that is 

submitted quarterly, monthly, on 

occasion, and annually to the BLM by
