Written comments and suggestions 

from the public and affected agencies 

should address one or more of the 

following four points: 

(1) Evaluate 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; 

(2) Evaluate 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; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

(4) 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, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. 

Overview of This Information 

Collection 

(1) Type of Information Collection 

Request: Revision of a Currently

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: 

Employment Eligibility Verification. 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and 

the applicable component of the DHS 

sponsoring the collection: Form I–9; 

USCIS. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: Primary: Individuals or 

households; Business or other for-profit; 

Not-for-profit institutions. The Form I– 

9 was developed to facilitate 

compliance with Section 274A of the 

Immigration and Nationality Act, as 

amended by the Immigration Reform 

and Control Act of 1986, making 

employment of unauthorized aliens 

unlawful and diminishing the flow of 

illegal workers in the United States. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: The estimated total number of 

respondents for the information 

collection I–9 Employers is 75,295,000 

and the estimated hour burden per 

response is 0.33 hour. The estimated 

total number of respondents for the 

information collection I–9 Employees is 

75,295,000 and the estimated hour 

burden per response is 0.15 hour. The 

estimated total number of respondents 

for the information collection by Record 

Keepers is 27,200,000 and the estimated 

hour burden per response is 0.08 hour. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the

(7) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in cost) associated with the 

collection: The estimated total annual 

cost burden associated with this 

collection of information is $0. Any 

requirements to support the verification 

process are already available through 

other approved collections of 

information that may be employment 

related or occur as a part of the hiring 

process. There is no submission to 

USCIS of materials which eliminates 

mailing and photocopying costs.

(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the 

burden for this collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used. 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality,

Abstract: The BLM seeks to renew the 

Control Number (1004–0121) pertaining 

to the leasing of solid minerals other 

than coal and oil shale other than coal 

and oil shale on Federal land, and the 

development of those lease. 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 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 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. This OMB Control Number 

is scheduled to expire on October 31, 

2022. The BLM is requesting that OMB 

renew this OMB Control Number for 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: 507. 

Total Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 507. 

Estimated Completion Time per 

Response: Varies from 1 hour to 400 

hours, depending on activity.

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: $2,051,105. 

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 

PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
