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 
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 personally identifiable information in 
your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including 
your personally identifiable information--may be made publicly 
available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold 
your personally identifiable information from public review, we cannot 
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
    Abstract: OMB Control Number 1004-0019 authorizes the collection of 
information concerning range improvements to improve livestock grazing 
management, improve watershed conditions, enhance wildlife habitat on 
BLM lands, or serve similar purposes. Under 43 CFR 4120.3-1(b), the BLM 
requires that an operator enter into a Cooperative Range Improvement 
Agreement, or obtain a Range Improvement Permit, before installing, 
using, maintaining, and/or modifying a range improvement. The BLM uses 
Form 4120-6, Cooperative Range Improvement Agreement, to document 
cooperative range improvement construction arrangements with grazing 
operators. This OMB Control Number is currently scheduled to expire on 
August 31, 2026. The BLM plans to request that OMB renew this OMB 
Control Number for an additional three (3) years.
