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. The BLM may not
conduct or sponsor a collection of information and a response to a
request for information is not required unless it displays a current
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 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.
The BLM is especially interested in public comment addressing the
following:
(1) whether collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the agency, including if the
information will have practical utility;
(2) determination of the accuracy of the BLM's estimate of the
burden for collection of information, including validity of methodology
and assumptions used;
(3) methods to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
information to be collected; and
(4) how the agency can minimize the burden of information
collection on those who respond, including use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical or other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information technology.
Comments submitted in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. The BLM will include or summarize each comment in its
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 BLM collects the information from respondents to
determine if they are qualified by statute to purchase Federal timber
resources originating from public lands managed by the BLM. This OMB
control number is currently scheduled to expire December 31, 2024. This
request is for OMB to renew this OMB control number for an additional
three (3) years.
This request to renew OMB Control Number 1004-0058 will also
request to discontinue the use of the Form 5460-17, Substitution
Determination, which reduces the estimated annual burden hours from 300
to 200 hours. The BLM determined that the 5460-17 was confusing and had
limited applicability without use of sourcing area designations that
allow timber export in certain circumstances.
Title of Collection: Reporting Provision for Timber Export
Determination and Log Scale Disposition (43 CFR parts 5424 and 5462).
OMB Control Number: 1004-0058.
Form Numbers: 5450-17 and 5460-15.
Type of Review: Extension with revision of a currently approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Purchasers of Federal timber and their
affiliates.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 200.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 200.
Estimated Completion Time per Response: 1 hour.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 200.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: None.
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.
