SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all
information collections require approval under the PRA. We may not
conduct or sponsor, and you are not required to respond to a collection
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on
new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This
helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements
and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public
understand our information collection requirements and provide the
requested data in the desired format.
We are especially interested in public comment addressing the
following:
(1) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information will have practical utility;
(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, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) How the agency might minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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.
Abstract: The Free Use vegetative permits are available for Mining
Claimants, Federal, State, Territorial agencies, municipalities and
associations or corporations not organized for profit and they must
certify that the materials will not be used for commercial or
industrial purposes. Free Use Permits for Mineral Materials are
available to any Federal, State, or territorial agency, unit, or
subdivision including municipalities or any non-profit organization.
OMB Control Number 1004-0001 authorizes the BLM to collect information
to continue the use of separate permit forms for the free use of
vegetative materials and mineral materials. There are no changes
proposed for the forms. We are, however, adjusting the total estimated
annual burden hours from 124 hours to 73 hours, a reduction of 51
annual burden hours. The reduction of annual burden hours results from
adjusting the number of estimated annual response from 247 to 146. The
number of annual responses is being adjusted to reflect the average
number of applications received by the BLM over the past three years.
This OMB Control Number is currently scheduled to expire on January 31,
2023. The BLM plans to request that OMB renew this OMB Control Number
for an additional three years.
Title of Collection: Free Use Application and Permit for Vegetative
or Mineral Materials (43 CFR parts 3600, 3620, and 5510).
OMB Control Number: 1004-0001.
Form Numbers: 3604-1 a and b, Free Use Application and Permit for
Mineral Materials; and 5510-1, Free Use Application and Permit for
Vegetative Materials.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals seeking authorization for
[[Page 23884]]
free use of mineral or vegetative materials.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 146.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 146.
Estimated Completion Time per Response: 30 minutes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 73.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $0.
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 Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Darrin A. King,
Information Collection Clearance Officer.
