SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is announcing its intention to request 
reinstatement of an approval to collect information that documents the 
payment of road use fees for the use of privately owned roads to haul 
timber sold in accordance with BLM sale contracts. This information 
collection activity was previously approved by the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB), and assigned the control number 1004-0102.

DATES: Comments on the proposed information collection must be received 
by March 12, 2010, to be assured of consideration.

Bureau of Land Management, Mail Stop 401-LS, 1849 C St., NW., 
Washington, DC 20240. Comments may also be submitted electronically to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320 (which 
implement provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501-
352) require that interested members of the public and affected 
agencies be given an opportunity to comment on information collection 
and recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8 (d) and 1320.12(a)). 
This notice identifies a collection of information that the BLM will be 
submitting to OMB for approval.
    Comments are invited on: (1) The need for the collection of 
information for the performance of the functions of the agency; (2) the 
accuracy of the agency's burden estimates; (3) ways to enhance the 
quality, utility and clarity

of the information collection; and (4) ways to minimize the information 
collection burden on respondents, such as use of automated means of 
collection of the information. A summary of the public comments will 
accompany the BLM's submission of the information collection requests 
to OMB.
    Before including your address, phone number, email 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.
    The following information is provided for the information 
collection:
    Title: Road Use Fees Paid Report.
    OMB Control Number: 1004-0102.
    Summary: Most purchasers of timber from BLM-managed lands use both 
Federal and private roads to haul the timber. In such instances, the 
timber sale contract with the BLM requires the purchaser to pay private 
landowners for the use and/or maintenance of their roads. These fees 
represent the BLM's share of road construction and maintenance costs 
under reciprocal right-of-way agreements between the BLM and private 
landowners. See 43 U.S.C. 1762; 43 CFR subpart 2812. This information 
collection is a report that timber sale purchasers submit to the BLM to 
show that they have paid the fees required by their timber sale 
contracts. The BLM uses the report to ensure compliance with the timber 
sale contract, and to amortize road construction and maintenance costs 
among several road users.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
    Description of Respondents: Timber sale purchasers that haul timber 
purchased from the BLM over privately owned roads that are included in 
reciprocal right-of-way agreements.
    Total Annual Responses: 40.
    Response Time: 20 minutes.
    Total Annual Burden Hours for Respondents: 13 hours.

Jean Sonneman,
Acting Information Collection Clearance Officer, Bureau of Land 
Management.
