SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all 

information collections require approval 

under the PRA. We may not conduct or 

sponsor, and you are not required to 

respond to a collection of information 

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

As part of our continuing effort to 

reduce paperwork and respondent 

burdens, we invite the public and other 

Federal agencies 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 especially interested in public 

comment addressing the following: 

(1) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) How the agency might minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of response. 

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: This information collection 

enables the BLM to regulate the use and 

occupancy of unpatented hardrock 

mining claims, and to take any action 

necessary to prevent unnecessary or 

undue degradation of public lands as a 

result of such use or occupancy. The 

BLM collects information from mining 

claimants who want to undertake the 

activities that are necessary in order to 

locate a mining claim or mill site. This 

OMB Control Number is currently 

scheduled to expire on June 30, 2024. 

This request is for OMB to extend this 

OMB control number for an additional 

three (3) years.

Occupancy Under the Mining Laws (43 

CFR Subpart 3715). 

OMB Control Number: 1004–0169. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Mining 

claimants. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 70. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 70. 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: 4 hours. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 280. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain a benefit. 

Frequency of Collection: One time. 

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 

Burden Cost: None. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor and, notwithstanding any other 

provision of law, 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
