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

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.
