and Enforcement (OSM) is announcing

its intention to request renewed

approval for the collections of

information for 30 CFR part 882,

Reclamation of private lands; and Form

OSM–76, Abandoned Mine Land

Problem Area Description form. The

collections described below have been

forwarded to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) for review and

comment. The information collection

request describes the nature of the

information collections and the

expected burdens and costs.

DATES: OMB has up to 60 days to

approve or disapprove the information

collection but may respond after 30

days. Therefore, public comments

should be submitted to OMB by March

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office

of Management and Budget (OMB)

regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which

implement provisions of the Paperwork

Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13),

require that interested members of the

public and affected agencies have an

opportunity to comment on information

collection and recordkeeping activities

[see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)]. OSM has

submitted requests to OMB to approve

the collections of information for 30

CFR Part 882, Reclamation of private

lands; and Form OSM–76, Abandoned

Mine Land Problem Area Description

form. OSM is requesting a 3-year term

of approval for these information

collection activities.

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. The OMB control

numbers or these collections of

information are displayed in 30 CFR

882.10 for Part 882, and on the form

OSM–76 for that collection.

As required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), a

Federal Register notice soliciting

comments on these collections of

information was published on

November 27, 2000 (65 FR 70736). No

comments were received. This notice

provides the public with an additional

30 days in which to comment on the

following information collection

activity:

Title: Reclamation on Private Lands,

30 CFR 882.

OMB Control Number: 1029–0057.

Summary: Public Law 95–87

authorizes Federal, State, and Tribal

governments to reclaim private lands

and allows for the establishment of

procedures for the recovery of the cost

intended to endure that governments

have sufficient capability to file liens so

that certain landowners will not receive

a windfall from reclamation.
