As part of our continuing effort to

burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) How might the agency minimize 

the burden of the collection of 

information on those who are to 

respond, including the use of 

appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of response. 

Comments that you submit in 

response to this notice are a matter of 

public record. We will include or 

summarize each comment in our request 

to OMB to approve this ICR. Before

Abstract: The BLM seeks to renew 

OMB control number 1004–0121 

pertaining to the leasing of solid 

minerals other than coal and oil shale 

on Federal land, and the development of 

those leases. The BLM’s regulations at 

43 CFR part 3500 apply to certain types 

of leasable minerals (i.e., solid minerals 

other than coal and oil shale), but not 

to Indian lands or minerals except 

where expressly noted. The regulations 

at 43 CFR part 3580 apply to gold, 

silver, and quicksilver in confirmed 

private land grants, and to leasable 

minerals in specified locations. The 

information collections contained in 43 

CFR part 3590 are necessary to enable 

the BLM to fulfill its statutory 

responsibilities under certain Federal 

mineral leasing laws and BLM’s 

regulations at 43 CFR part 3500 and 

serve to help the BLM to govern the 

leasing of solid minerals other than coal 

and oil shale on Federal land, and the 

development of those leases. 

Accordingly, the respondents affected 

by this information collection request 

are those who desire to obtain lease for 

Federal solid minerals other than coal 

and oil shale, and operators of such 

leases. The regulations at 43 CFR part 

3590 apply to operations for discovery, 

testing, development, mining, 

reclamation, and processing. OMB 

control number 1004–0121 is currently 

scheduled to expire on October 31, 

2022. The BLM plans to request that 

OMB renew this OMB control number 

of an additional three years. 

Title of Collection: Leasing of Solid 

Minerals Other Than Coal and Oil Shale 

(43 CFR 3500–3590). 

OMB Control Number: 1004–0121. 

Form Numbers: BLM Form 3504–001; 

BLM Form 3504–003; BLM Form 3504– 

004; BLM Form 3510–001; BLM Form 

3510–002; and BLM Form 3520–007. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Respondents/Affected Public: Holders 

of Federal leases of solid minerals other 

than coal and oil shale. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 170. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 400. 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: Varies from 1 hour to 400 

hours, depending on activity. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Burden Hours: 27,296. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Required to 

obtain or retain a benefit. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 

Burden Cost: $2,050,695. 

An agency may not conduct or 

sponsor and, notwithstanding any other 

provision of law, a person is not 

required to respond to a collection of 

information unless it displays a 

currently valid OMB control number. 

The authority for this action is the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
