SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we invite the public and other Federal
agencies to comment on new, proposed, revised and continuing
collections of information. This helps the BLM assess impacts of its
information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting
burden. It also helps the public understand BLM information collection
requirements and ensure requested data are provided in the desired
format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
June 27, 2022 (87 FR 38173). No responsive comments were received.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again inviting the public and other Federal agencies to
comment on the proposed ICR described below. The BLM is 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 might the agency 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 submitted in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. 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: OMB Control Number 1004-0019 authorizes range
improvements to improve livestock grazing management, improve watershed
conditions, enhance wildlife habitat on BLM lands or serve similar
purposes. There are no program changes requested. The BLM is adjusting
the burden downward by 580 annual responses and 580 annual burden
hours. The downward adjustment results from removing the burden for
individuals and households and for State, Local, and Tribal Governments
for activities contained in 43 CFR 4120.5-1 and 4120.5-2 and pertaining
to opportunities for cooperation. The BLM mistakenly included public
burden for these activities when the activity is performed by the BLM
and not members of the public. This OMB Control Number is currently
scheduled to expire on March
[[Page 63088]]
31, 2023. The BLM request that OMB renew this OMB Control Number for an
additional three years.
Title of Collection: Grazing Management: Range Improvements
Agreements and Permits (43 CFR Subpart 4120).
OMB Control Number: 1004-0019.
Form Numbers: 4120-6, Cooperative Range Improvement Agreement; and
4120-7, Range Improvement Permit.

of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.
The authority for this action is the PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.).

Information Collection Clearance Officer.
