Estimated Annual Reporting and 

Recordkeeping ‘‘Non-hour’’ Cost Burden: 

We have identified no ‘‘non-hour’’ cost 

burden associated with the collection of 

information. 

Public Disclosure Statement: The PRA 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) provides that an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 

a person is not required to respond to, 

a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

Comments: Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA requires each agency to ‘‘* * * 

provide 60-day notice in the Federal 

Register * * * and otherwise consult 

with members of the public and affected 

agencies concerning each proposed 

collection of information * * *.’’ 

Agencies must specifically solicit 

comments to: (a) Evaluate whether the 

proposed collection of information is 

necessary for the agency to perform its 

duties, including whether the 

information is useful; (b) evaluate the 

accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information; (c) enhance the quality, 

usefulness, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and (d) 

minimize the burden on the 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

To comply with the public 

consultation process, we published a 

notice in the Federal Register on April 

12, 2010 (75 FR 18525), announcing that 

we would submit this ICR to OMB for 

approval. The notice provided the 

required 60-day comment period. We 

received no comments in response to 

the notice. 

If you wish to comment in response 

to this notice, you may send your 

comments to the offices listed under the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice. The 

OMB has up to 60 days to approve or 

disapprove the information collection 

but may respond after 30 days. 

Therefore, to ensure maximum 

consideration, OMB should receive 

public comments by October 4, 2010. 

Public Comment Policy: We will post 

all comments in response to this notice 

at http://www.mrm.boemre.gov/ 

Laws_R_D/FRNotices/FRInfColl.htm. 

We also will post all comments, 

including names and addresses of 

respondents, at http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Before including 

your address, phone number, e-mail 

address, or other personal identifying 

information in your comment, be 

advised that your entire comment— 

including your personal identifying 

information—may be made publicly 

available at any time. While you can ask 

us in your comment to withhold from 

public view your personal identifying 

information, we cannot guarantee that 

we will be able to do so.

Notice of Application for a Recordable 

Disclaimer of Interest for Lands 

Underlying the Kuskokwim River in 

Alaska 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The State of Alaska has filed 

an application with the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) for a Recordable 

Disclaimer of Interest from the United 

States in those lands underlying the 

Kuskokwim River in Southwestern 

Alaska. The State asserts that the 

Kuskokwim River was navigable and 

unreserved at the time of Statehood; 

therefore, title to the submerged lands 

passed to the State at the time of 

Statehood (1959). Certain lands 

included in the application are within 

the exterior boundary of the Yukon 

Delta National Wildlife Refuge, created 

by the Alaska National Interest Lands 

Conservation Act of 1980, and 

administered by the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service. 

DATES: All comments to this action 

should be received on or before 

December 2, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on the State of 

Alaska’s application or the BLM Draft 

Summary Report must be filed with the 

Chief, Branch of Survey Planning and 

Preparation (AK–9270), Division of 

Cadastral Survey, BLM Alaska State 

Office, 222 West 7th Avenue, #13, 

Anchorage, Alaska 99513–7599. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jack 

Frost, 907–271–5531; E-mail 

Jack_Frost@blm.gov; or visit the BLM 

Recordable Disclaimer of Interest Web 

site at http://www.blm.gov/ak/st/en/ 

prog/rdi.html. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 

10, 2006, the State of Alaska filed an 

application for a Recordable Disclaimer 

of Interest pursuant to Section 315 of 

the Federal Lands Policy and 

Management Act and the regulations 

contained in 43 CFR Subpart 1864 for 

the lands underlying the Kuskokwim 

River (AA–086371). A Recordable 

Disclaimer of Interest, if issued, will 

confirm that the United States has no 

valid interest in the subject lands. This 

notice is intended to notify the public 

of the pending application and the 

State’s grounds for supporting it. The 

State asserts that this river is navigable. 

Therefore, under the Equal Footing 

Doctrine, the Submerged Lands Act of 

1953, the Submerged Lands Act of 1988, 

the Alaska Statehood Act, or any other 

legally cognizable reason, ownership of 

these lands underlying the river 

automatically passed from the United 

States to the State at the time of 

statehood in 1959. 

The State’s application, AA–086371, 

is for ‘‘all submerged lands lying within 

the bed of the Kuskokwim River, and all 

interconnected sloughs, between the 

ordinary high water lines of the left and 

right banks from its origins at the 

confluence with the South Fork of 

Kuskokwim River and North Fork of 

Kuskokwim River within Township 28 

South, Range 22 East, Kateel River 

Meridian, Alaska, downstream to its 

confluence with the Kuskokwim Bay 

within Township 2 South, Range 77 

West, Seward Meridian, Alaska.’’ The 

State did not identify any known 

adverse claimant or occupant of the 

affected lands. 

A final decision on the merits of the 

application will not be made before 

December 2, 2010. During the 90-day 

period, interested parties may comment 

on the State’s application, AA–086371, 

and supporting evidence. Interested 

parties may also comment during this 

time on the BLM’s Draft Summary 

Report. The State’s application and the 

BLM Draft Summary Report may be 

viewed on the BLM Recordable 

Disclaimer of Interest Web site at http:// 

www.blm.gov/ak/st/en/prog/rdi.html, or 

in the BLM Public Room located at 222 

West 7th Avenue, #13, Anchorage, 

Alaska 99513. 

Comments filed with the Division of 

Cadastral Survey, including names and 

street addresses of commenters, will be 

available for public inspection at the 

BLM Alaska State Office (see ADDRESSES

above), during regular business hours 

7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through 

Friday, except holidays. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

If no valid objection is received, a 

Disclaimer of Interest may be approved, 

if all else is proper, stating that the 

United States does not have a valid 

interest in these lands. 

Dated: July 9, 2010.

Chief, Branch of Survey Planning and 

Preparation.
