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

BLM Form 1370–36. BLM will receive

and analyze any comments sent in

response to this notice and include

them with its request for approval from

the OMB under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

We specifically request your 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 collecting the

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 collecting the information,

including through the use of appropriate

automated, electronic, mechanical, or

other technological collection

techniques or other forms of information

technology.

Respondents supply identifying

information and data on the campsite

number, data camping, number in party,

ZIP Code, fee paid, vehicle license

number, and primary purpose of visit.

This information allows the BLM to

determine if all users have paid the

required fee, the number of users, and

their State or origin.

Based on BLM’s experience

administering the activities described

above, the public reporting burden for

the information collected is estimated to

average about 3 minutes per response.

The respondents are individuals

desiring to use the campground. The

frequency of response is occasionally.

The number of responses per year is

estimated to total 108,000. The

estimated total annual burden on new

respondents is about 5,400 hours. BLM

is specifically requesting your

comments on its estimate of the amount

of time that it takes to prepare a

response.

BLM will summarize all responses to

this notice and include them in the

request for Office of Management and

Budget approval. All comments will

also become a matter of public record.

Closure of Public Lands; Oregon

AGENCY: Prineville District, Deschutes

Resource Area, Interior.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that,

effective immediately, the area

described below is closed to motor

vehicle use.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 16, 1998.

LEGAL DESCRIPTION: This closure applies

to the area located in Township 15

South, Range 13 East, Section 15,

Northeast quarter; Section 15, Northeast

quarter of the Southeast quarter; Section

15, Lots 3 and 7. The area comprises

254.80 acres. The property is located

south of antler Ave. and east of SE 9th

Street.

The purpose of this closure is to deter

the illegal dumping of trash and to

minimize the public health risks

associated with this activity. The

extensive problem of illegal dumping in

this area was recognized by the State

Department of Environmental Quality as

a hazard to public health. The Bureau of

Land Management and Deschutes

County have recently completed a major

effort, at considerable expense, to

remove trash and debris that has

accumulated at the site. Deschutes

County proposes to fence the perimeter

of the property to curtail the continued

dumping on the property. The tract is

expected to be conveyed to Deschutes

County by land exchange in 1998. The

authority for this closure is 43 CFR

8364.1: Closure and Restriction Orders.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Philip Paterno, Realty Specialist, BLM

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land

prepared an Environmental Impact

compliance with the Federal Land

Policy and Management Act of 1976, as

amended, 43 CFR 3809, and Section

102(2)(c) of the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969. The proposed action

involves development of three leach pad

facilities, one waste rock disposal site

and associated facilities including

access and utility corridors. This action

will affect 350 acres administered by the

BLM, PFO along with 420 acres of Tonto

National Forest. Based on 57 comments

received on the Draft EIS issued in April

1997, the agencies have prepared an

abbreviated Final EIS. The Final EIS is

to be read in conjunction with the Draft

EIS. The agencies selected Alternative

A—Modified Development Sequence to

the Proposed Action—as the preferred

alternative. The Final EIS is now

available to the public as is the Record

of Decision (ROD).

The ROD is issued as a separate

document prepared and signed jointly

by the BLM and Tonto National Forest.

Filing the FEIS with EPA completes the

environmental documentation process.

decision. The BLM decision may be
