comments on the following: 

(a) Whether the collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

functioning of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(b) The accuracy of our estimates of 

the information collection burden, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions we use;

Title: Free Use Application and 

Permit (Vegetative or Mineral Materials) 

(43 CFR parts 3620 and 5510). 

OMB Control Number: 1004–0001. 

Abstract: The BLM uses Form 5510–

1, Free Use Application and Permit 

(Vegetative or Mineral Material), under 

43 CFR part 5510 to collect this 

information. The PL–167, Surface 

Resources Act of July 23, 1955, gives the 

Secretary the discretion to permit the 

free use of vegetative or mineral 

materials for use other than commercial 

or industrial purposes or resale. The 

Secretary of the Interior may also permit 

mining claimants the free use of 

vegetative or mineral materials. 

BLM uses the information provided 

by the applicant(s) to: 

(1) Maintain an inventory of 

vegetative and mineral information; and 

(2) Adjudicate your rights to 

vegetative and mineral resources. 

An applicant must file an application 

for a permit before removing any 

vegetative or mineral resources from the 

public lands. 

Burden Estimate Per Form: We 

estimate it takes 5 minutes to complete 

Form 5510–1. Individuals (residents of 

states) submit the form on occasion to 

the BLM. 

Annual Responses: 476. 

Application Fee Per Response: 0.
