information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(d) Ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

collection techniques or forms of 

information technology. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons 

to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose 

or provide information to or for a federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; to develop, 

acquire, install and utilize technology 

and systems for the purpose of 

collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information, to search 

data sources, to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

Individual respondents may request 

confidentiality. If you wish to request 

that we consider withholding your 

name, street address, and other contact 

information (such as Internet address, 

FAX, or phone number) from public 

review or from disclosure under the 

Freedom of Information Act, you must 

state this prominently at the beginning 

of your comment. We will make 

available for public inspection in their 

entirety all submissions from 

organizations or businesses, and from 

individuals identifying themselves as 

representatives or officials of 

organizations or businesses. 

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. 

OMB has up to 60 days to make a 

decision on the submission for renewal, 

but may make the decision after 30 

days. Therefore, to receive the best 

consideration of your comments, you 

should submit them closer to 30 days 

than 60 days.

BILLING CODE 4310–4J–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Land Management 

Privacy Act of 1974, as Amended; 

Amendment of an Existing System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed amendment of an 

existing system of records. 

SUMMARY: Under the Privacy Act of 

1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552a), the 

Office of the Secretary is issuing public 

notice of our intent to amend the 

existing Privacy Act system of records 

entitled, LLM–2 ‘‘Range Management 

System.’’ The system notice is 

published in its entirety below. Editorial 

changes have been made to ‘‘Categories 

of individuals covered by the system’’

and ‘‘Categories of Records in the 

System’’ to clarify who is covered and 

the type of information in the system. 

Under ‘‘Routine Uses,’’ there are 

changes in the provisions for 

‘‘Disclosures outside the Department of 

the Interior.’’

Changes are also made to the ‘‘Record 

access procedures’’ and ‘‘Retention and 

disposal’’ under ‘‘Policies and practices 

for storing, retrieving, accessing, 

retaining, and disposing of records in 

the system.’’

The Department of the Interior is 

issuing public notice of its intent to 

amend portions of an existing Privacy 

Act system of records subject to the 

Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a). 

This action is necessary to meet the 

requirements of the Privacy Act to 

publish in the Federal Register notice of 

amendment of an existing records 

system maintained by the agency (5 

U.S.C. 552a(e)(4)). 

DATES: 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11) requires that 

the public be provided a 30-day period 

in which to comment on the agency’s 

intended use of the information in the 

system of records. The Office of 

Management and Budget, in its Circular 

A–130, requires an additional 10-day 

period (for a total of 40 days) in which 

to make these comments. Any persons 

interested in commenting on this 

proposed amendment may do so by 

submitting comments in writing to the 

Privacy Act Officer, Bureau of Land 

Management, U.S. Department of the 

Interior, 1849 C Street, NW., 

Washington, DC 20240. Comments 

received within 40 days of publication 

in the Federal Register will be 

considered. The system will be effective 

as proposed at the end of the comment 

period unless comments are received 

that would require a contrary 

determination. The Department will 

publish a revised notice if changes are 

made based upon a review of comments 

received.

Chief, Rangeland Resources Division,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The intent 

of amending this system notice is to 

align the LLM–2 system more closely 

with the mission of the BLM Rangeland 

Management Program, to address 

administrative changes and the current 

needs of the bureau, and to correct 

minor typographical errors. The 

following changes are being proposed to 

LLM–2. 

The BLM is updating this system 

notice to delete the overly broad 

language of a Routine Use disclosure to 

certain members of the general public. 

BLM is further rewriting Routine Use (2) 

to assist Federal, State and local 

agencies to better manage their activities 

related to grazing programs. 

Under ‘‘Categories of individuals 

covered by the system,’’ ‘‘Individuals 

owning grazing leases and permits 

issued by BLM’’ is changed to 

‘‘Individuals to whom BLM issues 

grazing leases and permits.’’

The ‘‘Categories of Records in the 

System’’ has been rewritten to clarify 

the types of information in the system 

and to make explicit that both paper and 

electronic records are included. 

Routine Uses have been renumbered 

to reflect the deletion of one Routine 

Use. 

A previous Routine Use that stated 

that the records would be released ‘‘to 

a member of the general public in 

response to a specific request for 

pertinent information,’’ did not provide 

a discernable standard for determining 

the scope of the Routine Use. 

Routine Use (2) has been revised to 

provide for release of information from 

the system to Federal, State and local 

agencies to enable them to adequately 

manage their activities relating to the 

BLM’s grazing program. The changes to 

this Routine Use will assist in the 

efficient administration of Federal, State 

and local activities related to the BLM 

grazing program and is therefore 

compatible with the purpose for which 

we collected the information. 

Under ‘‘Retention and disposal,’’ we 

have updated the BLM manual section 

reference to the current manual section. 

Under ‘‘Records Access Procedures,’’

we have deleted the phrase ‘‘as 

specifically as possible.’’ The Access
