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 June 27, 2022 (87 FR 38173). No responsive comments were received.

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 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 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.


[top] Abstract: OMB Control Number 1004-0019 authorizes range improvements to improve livestock grazing management, improve watershed conditions, enhance wildlife habitat on BLM lands or serve similar purposes. There are no program changes requested. The BLM is adjusting the burden downward by 580 annual responses and 580 annual burden hours. The downward adjustment results from removing the burden for individuals and households and for State, Local, and Tribal Governments for activities contained in 43 CFR 4120.5-1 and 4120.5-2 and pertaining to opportunities for cooperation. The BLM mistakenly included public burden for these activities when the activity is performed by the BLM and not members of the public. This OMB Control Number is currently scheduled to expire on March page 63088 31, 2023. The BLM request that OMB renew this OMB Control Number for an additional three years.

Title of Collection: Grazing Management: Range Improvements Agreements and Permits (43 CFR Subpart 4120).

OMB Control Number: 1004-0019.

Form Numbers: 4120-6, Cooperative Range Improvement Agreement; and 4120-7, Range Improvement Permit.

Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.

Respondents/Affected Public: Holders of BLM grazing permits or grazing

Leases.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 530.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 530.

Estimated Completion Time per Response: 2 hours per response.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 1,060.

Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.

Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

Total Estimated Annual Nonhour 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. ).

Darrin King,

Information Collection Clearance Officer.
