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
July 19, 2023 (88 FR 46175). Nineteen (19) comments were received in
response to that notice. These comments, along with the BLM's response
are summarized in the information collection request submitted to OMB
and are available as noted in the ADDRESSES section of this notice.
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.

and (4) whether or not to terminate a private maintenance and care
