SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act, the Bureau of 
Land Management (BLM) invites public comments on, and plans to request 
approval to continue, the collection of information that is necessary 
to implement two provisions of the Federal Cave Resources Protection 
Act -- one which requires Federal agencies to consult with interested 
parties to develop a listing of significant caves, and another under 
which Federal and State governmental agencies and bona fide educational 
and research institutions may request confidential information 
regarding significant caves. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
has assigned control number 1004-0165 to this information collection.

DATES: Submit comments on the proposed information collection by June 
12, 2015.

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 plans to 
submit 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 activity. Comments are invited on: (1) The need for the 
collection of information for the performance of the functions of the 
agency; (2) the accuracy of the agency's burden estimates; (3) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; 
and (4) 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.
    The following information pertains to this information collection:
    Title: Cave Management: Cave Nominations and Confidential 
Information (43 CFR part 37).
    Forms: None.

under the jurisdiction of the agencies listed above. The BLM also 
processes requests for confidential information regarding significant

Resources Protection Act (16 U.S.C. 4301-4310).
