the information collection burden, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions we use;

The Taylor Grazing Act of 1934 (43 

U.S.C. 315, 315a through 315r) and the 

Federal Land Policy and Management 

Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) 

authorize the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) to administer the 

livestock grazing program consistent 

with land use plans, multiple use 

objectives, sustained yield, 

environmental values, economic 

considerations, and other factors. The 

BLM must maintain accurate records on: 

(1) Permittee and lessee qualifications 

for a grazing permit or lease; 

(2) Base property used in conjunction 

with public lands; and 

(3) The actual use made by livestock 

authorized to graze on the public lands. 

The BLM also collects nonform 

information on grazing management 

from permittees and lessees.

information this form to adjudicate 

conflicting requests for grazing use, 

determine legal qualifications of 

applicants, issue permits, and document 

transfers.

information on this form to verify what 

the BLM needs to effectuate a grazing

(Supplemental Information) 

The BLM uses the required 

information on this form to certify an 

applicant’s qualifications for a grazing 

permit or lease and to provide other

The BLM uses the required 

information in this form to approve 

changes of grazing use within the terms

grazing of livestock on private lands 

during certain periods.

Report

information to determine if we need to 

adjust the amount of grazing use or if

lands.
