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
January 3, 2025 (90 FR 332). No comments were received in response to
that 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 the agency could 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: The BLM seeks to renew OMB approval for free use
vegetative permits. These permits are available for mining claimants;
Federal, State, or Territorial agencies; municipalities; and
associations or corporations not organized for profit, provided they
certify that the materials will not be used for commercial or
industrial purposes. Free use permits for mineral materials are
available to any Federal, State, or Territorial agency, unit, or
subdivision, including municipalities, or any non-profit organization.
OMB Control Number 1004-0001 authorizes the BLM to collect
information to continue the use of separate permit forms for the free
use of vegetative materials and mineral materials. This OMB control
number is currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2025. The BLM
requests that OMB renew this OMB control number for an additional 3
years.
Title of Collection: Free Use Application and Permit for Vegetative
or Mineral Materials (43 CFR parts 3600, 3620, and 5510).
OMB Control Number: 1004-0001.
Form Numbers: 3604-1a and b, Free Use Application and Permit for
Mineral Materials and 5510-1, Free Use Application and Permit for
Vegetative Materials.
Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Individuals seeking authorization for
free use of mineral or vegetative materials.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 146.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 146.
Estimated Completion Time per Response: 30 minutes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 73.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Non-hour Burden Cost: $0.
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 PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.).
