ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is
requesting the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) to extend an existing
approval to collect information from
owners of unpatented claims, mill sites,
and tunnel sites. BLM uses Forms 3830–
2 and 3830–3 to collect this information
to record such claims and sites;
determine the land status at the time of
location; collect annual maintenance
and location fees; process waivers of
annual fees; process annual affidavits of
labor or notices of intent to hold a
mining claim or site; process requests
for deferments from assessment work;
process transfers of interest; and
adjudicate such claims and sites. The
regulations under 43 CFR 3830–3833,
3840–3843, and 3850–3852 authorize
BLM to collect the above information to
manage the general mining law
activities on public lands.
DATES: You must submit your comments
to BLM at the address below on or
before June 20, 2005. BLM will not
necessarily consider any comments
received after the above date.
ADDRESSES: You may mail comments to:

to 4:15 p.m.) Monday through Friday.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You

452–0372 (Commercial or FTS). Persons
who use a telecommunication device for
the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) on 1–
800–8330, 24 hours a day, seven days a
week, to contact Mr. Haskins.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 5 CFR
1320.12(a) requires that we provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register
concerning a collection of information
to solicit comments on:
(A) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
functioning of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
(b) The accuracy of our estimates of
the information collection burden,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions we use;
(c) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
(d) Ways to minimize the information
collection burden 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.
The Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976, 30 U.S.C. 28f
(Pub. L. 105–277), and the regulations
under 43 CFR 3830–3833, 3840–3843,
and 3850–3852 authorize BLM to collect
information from owners of unpatented
claims, mill sites and tunnel sites to
manage the general mining law
activities on public lands.
BLM uses Form 3830–2 (Maintenance
Fee Waiver) to collect the information to
waive the $100 annual maintenance fee
that owners of unpatented mining
claims, mill sites, and tunnel sites must
pay. The owners of unpatented mining
claims, mill sites, and tunnel sites must
submit the following information to
BLM:
(1) The mining claim names and BLM
serial numbers;
(2) A declaration that the owners own
or have interest in 10 or fewer claims or
sites;
PO 00000
Frm 00039
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
(3) A declaration of compliance with
the assessment work requirements;
(4) The names and addresses of all
owners of the claims and sites; and
(5) The owners’/agents’ signatures.
BLM uses Form 3830–3 (Notice of
Intent to Locate A Lode or Placer
Mining Claim(s) and/or A Tunnel Site(s)
on Lands Patented Under the Stock
Raising Homestead Act of 1916, as
amended) to collect information on an
applicant who files a notice of intent to
locate or explore for a mining claim or
tunnel site. The applicant must submit
the following information to BLM:
(1) The name and mailing address of
the applicant filing the notice of intent
to locate or explore for a mining claim
or tunnel site;
(2) A legal land description of the
lands which the notice of intent will
apply;
(3) A brief description of the proposed
mineral activities;
(4) A map and legal land description
of lands subject top mineral exploration;
(5) The name, address, and phone
number of the person managing the
activities; and
(6) The dates the activities will take
place.
BLM uses the information on
recording claims, annual assessment
work, notice of intent to hold, and
transfer of interest to:
(1) Determine the number and
location of unpatented mining claims,
mill sites and tunnel sites located on
Federal lands to assist in the surface
management of these lands and any
minerals found there;
(2) Remove any cloud on the title to
those lands due to abandoned mining
claims;
(3) Provide information as to the
location of active claims; and
(4) Keep informed on transfers of
interest and ownership.
Without this information, BLM could
not protect the rights of surface and
mineral owners. Also, the Government’s
ability to locate, control, and manage
surface disturbance would be
compromised.
Based upon BLM experience, the
public reporting information collection
burden takes eight minutes per
response. The respondents are owners
of unpatented mining claims, mill sites,
and tunnel sites located on public lands
and individuals or organizations who
seek to explore for or locate a mining
claim. The estimated number of
responses per year is 236,852 and the
total annual burden is 31,585 hours.
BLM will summarize all responses to
this notice and include them in the
request for OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of
public record.
