Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days of the publication of this notice on the following website                     *www.reginfo.gov/​public/​do/​PRAMain.*                     Find this particular information collection by selecting “Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments” or by using the search function.

## Forest Service

*Title:*                     Disposal of Mineral Materials.                

*OMB Control Number:*                     0596-0081.                

*Summary of Collection:*                     The Forest Service (FS) is responsible for overseeing the management of National Forest System land. The Multiple-Use Mining Act of 1955 (30 U.S.C. 601, 603, 611-615) gives the FS specific authority to manage the disposal of mineral materials mined from National Forest land. FS uses form FS-2800-9, “Contract for the Sale of Mineral Materials” to collect detailed information on the planned mining and disposal operations as well as a contract for the sale of mineral materials.                

*Need and Use of the Information:*                     The collected information enables the Forest Service to document planned operations, to prescribe the terms and conditions the agency deems necessary to protect surface resources, and to affect a binding contract agreement. Forest Service employees will evaluate the collected information to ensure that entities applying to mine mineral materials are financially accountable and will conduct their activities in accordance with the mineral regulations of title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, part 228, subpart C (36 CFR part 228).                

If this information is not collected, the Forest Service would be unable to comply with Federal regulations to mine mineral materials, and operations could cause undue damage to surface resources.

*Description of Respondents:*                     Business or other for-profit.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     2,722.                

*Frequency of Responses:*                     Reporting: on occasion.                

*Total Burden Hours:*                     7,040.
