SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which 
implement provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501-
3521, require that interested members of the public and affected 
agencies be given an opportunity to comment on information collection 
and recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)). This 
notice identifies an information collection that the BLM will be 
submitting to OMB for approval. The Paperwork Reduction Act provides 
that an agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Until OMB 
approves a collection of information, you are not obligated to respond.
    The BLM will request a 3-year term of approval for this information 
collection

ways to minimize the information collection burden on respondents, such 
as use of automated means of collection of the information. A summary 
of the public comments will accompany our submission of the information 
collection requests to OMB. Before including your address, telephone 
number, email address, or other personal identifying information in 
your comments, be advised that your entire comment--including your

be able to do so.
