AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

ACTION: Notice and request for

comments.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the

Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is

announcing its intention to request an

extension of existing approval to collect

certain information from applicants who

wish to acquire a Land Use

Authorization (form 2920–1) on public

lands under the Federal Land Policy

and Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976.

The regulations at 43 CFR 2920 provide

for non-Federal use of Bureauadministered land by means of lease or
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 93 /Thursday, May 14, 1998 / Notices 26821

permit. Uses include agriculture, trade,

or manufacturing concerns and business

uses such as outdoor recreation

concession. The BLM will determine the

validity of uses proposed by private

individuals and other qualified

proponents from information provided

by the proponent on the Land Use

Application and Permit form.

DATES: Comments on the proposed

information collection must be received

by July 13, 1998 to be considered.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed

to: Director (420), Bureau of Land

Management, 1849 C Street NW, Room

401LS, Washington, DC 20240.

Comments may be sent via Internet to:

Wo Comment@wo.blm.gov Please

include ‘‘ATTN: 1004–0009’’ and your

name and return address in your

Internet message.

Comments may be hand-delivered to

the Bureau of Land Management

Administrative Record, Room 401, 1620

L Street, NW, Washington, DC.

Comments will be available for public

review at the L Street address during

regular business hours (7:45 a.m. to 4:15

p.m.), Monday through Friday.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Carl C. Gammon, (202) 452–7777.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with 5 CFR 1320.12(a), BLM

is required to provide 60-day notice in

the Federal Register concerning a

collection of information contained in a

published current rule 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 of information,

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

the use of appropriate automated,

electronic, mechanical, or other

technological collection techniques or

other forms of information technology.

The 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 FLPMA of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1732,

1740), provides for issuance of land use

authorizations which may include

leases or permits, to eligible proponents.

The BLM has implemented the

provisions of this requirement through

the issuance of 43 CFR 2922.2–1, which

provides for the submission of the

‘‘Land Use Application and Permit,’’ or

application, Form 2920–1. The

information collected on the application

is used by the BLM to identify the

proposed land use and activities,

describe all facilities for which

authorization is sought, to identify the

location, to determine a schedule for

construction and to identify access

requirements. Since the information

collected is unique to each application,

no other suitable means of information

collection has been identified which

could gather the information at a lesser

burden. If the BLM fails to properly

collect the required information, the

BLM will reject the application.

Based on BLM’s experience

administering the activities described

above, approximately 620 applications

(577 Permits, 43 Leases) are received

annually. It will take an average of 30

minutes for over 94 percent of the

applicants to supply the needed

information. For the other 6 percent of

the applicants who are applying for

leases, the average burden is 121 hours

to supply the necessary information.

The range in burden hours is due to the

fact that a lease application, because of

its nature, requires more time on the

part of an applicant to supply the

needed information. For example, a

lease application to construct a multimillion dollar ski facility could involve

construction drawings, site and facility

plans, other Federal and State licenses

and permits, and other preauthorizing

requirements involving many days to

process. Conversely, a relatively routine

application (permit) to use public lands

for agricultural purposes could be

processed in 1⁄2 an hour.

The estimated total annual burden on

new respondents is about 5,955 hours.

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.

Dated: April 30, 1998.
