announcing its intention to request

renewal of existing approval to collect

certain information from individuals

who apply to construct, maintain and

use approved improvements on the

rangelands to aid handling or caring for

domestic livestock that are authorized to

graze public land. Form 4120–7 (Range

Improvement Permit) is used under

authority of Sections 4 and 15 of the

Taylor Grazing Act and associated

regulations found at 43 CFR 4120.3. It

requests information necessary to

consider an application and make a

decision concerning the proposed range

improvement. Requested information is:

Name and address, construction or

maintain an existing improvement,

purpose, location, and both estimated

and subsequent final costs for the

improvement. It also documents

approval of range improvement permits

and the BLM files.

DATES: Comments on the proposed

information collection must be received

by June 9, 1997 to be considered.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with 5 CFR 1320.8(d), BLM

is required to provide 60-day notice in

the Federal Register concerning a

collection of information contained in

current published rules to solicit

comments on (a) Whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection, 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

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.

BLM will receive and analyze any

comments sent in response to this

notice and include them with its request

for approval from the Office of

Management and Budget under 44

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

The Taylor Grazing Act (TGA) of 1934

(43 U.S.C. 315, 315 et seq.), the Federal

Land Policy and Management Act

(FLPMA) of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701 et

seq.), and the Public Rangelands

Improvement Act (PRIA) of 1978 (43

U.S.C. 1901 et seq.) provide the

authority for the Bureau of Land

Management to administer the livestock

grazing program consistent with landuse plans, multiple-use objectives,

sustained yield, environmental values,

economic considerations, and other

factors. Sections 4 and 15 of the TGA

and Regulations in 43 CFR 4120.3–3

allow permittees the opportunity to

construct and maintain approved range

improvements on the public lands. The

Regulations were issued on February 21,

1984 (49 FR 6452) and last amended on

February 22, 1995 (60 FR 9964). Form

4120–7, Range Improvement Permit, is

the approved form to be used for

requests and approval of a range

improvement.

The BLM Authorizes range

improvements to facilitate handling

livestock while they are using the public

lands as an important and integral part

of grazing use administration. The

information provided by the permittees

and lessees is used by the BLM to

review requests for privately funded

range improvements for compatibility

with multiple-use objectives and landuse plans, develop appropriate

conditions and specifications, and

approve or reject the requests. The name

and address is used to determine if the

applicant is a grazing permittee in

compliance with 43 CFR 4120.3–3 (a).

Applicants also specifies if they will

construct a new improvement or obtain

a permit to maintain an existing

improvement. A brief purpose or

justification is stated to determine the

compatibility with multiple use plans.

The applicant identifies the specific

location to determine land ownership

and if needed, a plat is provided on the

reverse to delineate linear

improvements such as fences. An

estimate of cost or value is recorded in

the event land ownership changes that

require appraisal of private assets for

reimbursement of permittees for the

present worth of improvements in

compliance with 43 CFR 4120.3–5 and

43 CFR 4120.3–6 (c). The BLM

completes administrative codes for its

records system, prepares special terms

or conditions as appropriate, assigns a

completion date for construction, signs

approval and makes inspection of

completed range improvement. A copy

of the approved permit is retained to

document the BLM files.

Without this information, the BLM

could not fulfill its responsibility to

manage uses of the public land as

required by law. Some facilities would

be inconsistent with management

objectives, improperly built, or in

conflict with other uses. Recognition of

the applicant’s investment would not

take place causing further legal

problems if the land were sold and

restitution was requested of the new

owner.

The information required by law is

only available from the applicants.

Specific information is only known by

an applicant who identifies specific

information pertinent to the purposes of

the form in completing an application.

The form was designed to request only

basic information required to administer

the permitting process. The majority of

the information is contained in the

applicant’s personal plans for the

specific improvement and does not

impose a significant burden.

Since grazing and range improvement

on the unreserved public lands is

administered only by the BLM, there is

no duplication of information

collections.

Since each applicant must meet

qualifications, the information

collection has to be made each time a

range improvement is sought. This

application is only completed once

during the period of ownership of the

range improvement. This information

collection is consistent with guidelines

in 5 CFR 1320.6 without which the BLM

would not be able to administer the

Public Land Laws.

There are no assurances of

confidentiality but the Privacy Act

Notice is provided to inform the

applicants of the uses to be made. There

are no plans for publishing information

for statistical use.

On March 25, 1994 the BLM

published in the Federal Register a

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend

the regulations for livestock grazing. A

comment period of 120 days was

allowed. Included in the notice was a

request for comments on the

information collections involved,

including this collection (1004–0019).

Several comments were received on this

section addressing information

resources and questions of timeliness

relating to compliance. Federal

Register, February 22, 1995, page 9925.

Copies of the comments are on file at

the Bureau of Land Management,

Eastern States Office, 7450 Boston

Boulevard, Springfield, Virginia 22153,

and may be reviewed by contacting Jim

Gegen at that Office.

The BLM experience and recent

tabulations of activity indicate

approximately 60 applications are

processed each year. The annual cost to

the Government is estimated to be

$1,200 based on personnel time to

review and processing at $20 per hour,

including entering information into an

automated range improvement project

system. Information in the range

improvement reporting system is used

as a basis for making the estimation.

Annual costs to the 60 respondents is

estimated at $400 based on 20 burden

hours at $20 per hour to prepare the

form and to receive and file their

approved copy.

Because of the variations in size and

complexity of range improvements,

some of the 60 responses may take as

little as ten minutes to complete while

others may take up to 30 minutes with

an average of a 20 minute burden for

each with an annual burden of 20 hours.

Any interested member of the public

may request and obtain, without charge,

a copy of BLM Form 4120–7 the person

identified under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.

All responses to this notice will be

summarized and included in the request

for Office of Management and Budget

approval. All comments will also

become a matter of public record.

Notice of Issuance of Two Disclaimers

of Interest to Lands; Idaho

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Issuance of

Disclaimers of Interest in Lands in

Idaho.

SUMMARY: The United States of America,

pursuant to the provisions of section

315 of the Federal Land Policy and

Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C.

1745), proposes to disclaim all interest

in the following described lands to the

current owners of record. A disclaimer

of interest will be issued to the Trustees

of the Eugene F. and Viola M. Edwards

Revocable Trust for the following

described property, to wit:

Boise Meridian, Idaho

T. 21 N., R. 22 E.,

All lands in section 31, north of the eastwest centerline of the section and between

the 1881 adjusted right bank meanders and

the right bank of the present channel of the

Salmon River, except for lot 13, as shown on

the official plat approved July 24, 1996.

Another disclaimer of interest will be issued

to the Trustees in Trust of the Del Monto Fife

Trust dba Fife Enterprises for the following

described property, to wit:

Bosie Meridian, Idaho

T. 21 N., R. 22 E.,

All lands lying between the adjusted 1881

meanders and the present left bank of the

Salmon River fronting lots 5 and 6 in section

19; fronting lots 5, 6, 7 and 8 in section 30;

and fronting lots 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, except for

lot 15 and the accretions to lot 15 designated

as lot 16, in section 31; according to the

official records and the plat approved July

24, 1996. The official records, being the

original 1881 public land survey and the

dependent resurvey approved and accepted

July 24, 1996, show that the lands described

above are a combination of avulsed, accreted,

and non-substantial omitted land, and an

unsurveyed island. Except for the island, the

remaining lands are not public domain.

Therefore, the applications by the Trustees of

the Eugene F. and Viola M. Edwards

Revocable Trust and the Trustees of the Del

Monto Fife Trust dba Fife Enterprises, for

disclaimers from the United States, will be

approved if no valid objection is received.

This action will clear a cloud on the title of

both applicant’s land.

DATES: Comments or protest to this

action should be received by June 9,

1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments or protests must

be filed with: State Director (933),
