The following information is provided 

for the information collection: 

Title: Mineral Surveys, Mineral Patent 

Applications, Adverse Claims, Protests, 

and Contests (43 CFR parts 3860 and 

3870). 

OMB Control Number: 1004–0025. 

Abstract: On its face, the General 

Mining Law (30 U.S.C. 29, 30, and 39) 

authorizes a holder of an unpatented 

claim for hardrock minerals to apply for 

fee title (patent) to the federal land (as 

well as minerals) embraced in the claim. 

Since 1994, a rider on the annual 

appropriation bill for the Department of 

the Interior has prevented the BLM from 

processing mineral patent applications 

unless the applications were 

grandfathered under the initial 

legislation. While grandfathered 

applications are rare at present, the 

approval to collect the information 

continues to be necessary because of the 

possibility that the moratorium will be 

lifted. 

Frequency of Collection: Once. 

Form: Certificate of Title on Mining 

Claims (Form 3860–2) and Application 

for Survey on Mining Claim (Form 

3860–5). 

Description of Respondents: Owners 

of unpatented mining claims and mill 

sites upon the public lands, and of 

reserved mineral lands of the United 

States, National Forests, and National 

Parks. 

Estimated Annual Burdens: 10 

responses. 

Estimated Hour Burden: 559 hours. 

Estimated ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’ Burden: 

$174,205. 

The ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’ burden 

estimate includes $14,005 for fixed 

document processing fees, $1,200 for 

publication cost, and $159,000 for caseby-case fee for validity examinations.
