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: Section 209(b) of the Federal Land Policy and Management
Act (43 U.S.C. 1719) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to convey
Federally-owned mineral interests to non-Federal owners of the surface
estate. The respondents in this information collection are non-Federal
owners of surface estates who apply for underlying Federally-owned
mineral interests. This information collection enables the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) to determine if the applicants are eligible to
receive title to the Federally-owned mineral interests beneath their
lands. OMB's approval for the information collections approved under
OMB control number 1004-0153 is scheduled to expire on December 31,
2024. This request is for OMB to renewal this OMB control number for an
additional three (3) years.

Interests (43 CFR part 2720).
OMB Control Number: 1004-0153.
Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Owners of surface estates (i.e.,
individuals, businesses, or state, local, or tribal governments) that
want to obtain underlying Federally-owned mineral estates.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 5.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 5.
Estimated Completion Time per Response: 1 hour.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 5.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $250.
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,
