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 or not the collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether or not 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 might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to respond, including through 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: ''Payments in Lieu of Taxes'' (PILT) are Federal payments
to local governments that help offset losses in property taxes due to
non-taxable Federal lands within their boundaries. The original law is
Public Law 94-565, dated October 20, 1976. This law was rewritten and
amended by Public Law 97-258 on September 13, 1982, and codified at
Chapter 69, Title 31 of the United States Code. The law recognizes the
financial impact of the inability of local governments to collect
property taxes on federally owned land.
The PILT Act requires the Governor of each State to furnish the
Department of the Interior with a listing of certain revenue sharing
payments disbursed to local governments by the States on behalf of the
Federal Government under 12 statutes described in Section 6903 of 31
U.S.C. The Department of the Interior uses the amounts reported by
States to calculate PILT payments to units of general local
governments. If such listings were not furnished by the Governor of
each affected State, the Department would not be able to compute the
PILT payments to units of general local government within the States in
question.
In fiscal year 2004, administrative authority for the PILT program
was transferred from the Bureau of Land
[[Page 29177]]
Management to the Office of the Secretary of the Department of the
Interior. Applicable DOI regulations pertaining to the PILT program to
be administered by the Office of the Secretary were published as a
final rule in the Federal Register on December 7, 2004 (69 FR 70557).
The Office of the Secretary, Office of Budget, is now planning to
extend the information collection approval authority in order to enable
the Department of the Interior to continue to comply with the PILT Act.
