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
September 6, 2024 (89 FR 72888). The BLM received one comment in
response to this notice. The comment, along with the BLM's response, is
summarized and included in the ICR submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB).
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 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: The BLM 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 include discontinuing the
form AK 4132-1, Reindeer Permit Application, because that form lacks
utility and incorporating the following information collections that
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).
The BLM requests OMB reinstate OMB Control Number 1004-0182 with
the above changes.
Title of Collection: Alaska Reindeer Grazing Requirements (43 CFR
part 4300).
OMB Control Number: 1004-0182.

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: 14.

minutes depending on activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 11.

The authority for this action is the PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.).
