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 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 that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
[[Page 72889]]
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: The BLM plans to request that OMB reinstate with changes
OMB Control Number 1004-0182 which was inadvertently allowed to expire
in September 2004. The BLM collects certain information from Alaska
Natives interested in reindeer grazing activities on public lands that
BLM administers in the State of Alaska. This information allows BLM to
determine the compatibility of reindeer grazing on public lands with
resource management guidelines developed in land use plans and
multiple-use objectives described in 43 CFR part 4300.
The changes to this OMB Control Number from when it was last active
in 2004 include discontinuing the form AK 4132-1-1, Reindeer Permit
Application, as it was determined that the form lacks utility, and the
BLM will also request to include the following information collections
that are contained in the 43 CFR 4300 but were not previously accounted
for under this OMB Control Number:
<bullet> Reindeer Grazing Permit Annual Report (43 CFR 4300.45);
<bullet> Assign permit to another party (43 CFR 4300.59 and
4300.60); and
<bullet> Permit to cross reindeer over public lands (43 CFR
4300.80).
This request is for OMB to reinstate with the above changes OMB
Control Number 1004-0182.
Title of Collection: Alaska Reindeer Grazing Requirements (43 CFR
4300).
OMB Control Number: 1004-0182.
Form Numbers: AK 4201-1, Grazing Lease or Permit Application (OMB
No. 1004-0182) and Form 4120-7, Application for Range Improvement
Permit (OMB No. 1004-0019).
Type of Review: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved
collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Alaska Natives interested in reindeer
grazing activities on public lands that BLM administers in the State of
Alaska.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 6.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 8.

minutes depending on activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 11.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion and annual.
Total Estimated Annual Non-hour Burden Cost: $12.
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.
