AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM)
requests the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) to extend an existing
approval to collect information to
ensure operators and mining claimants
meet their responsibilities while
conducting exploration, mining, and
reclamation work on public lands. BLM
uses Forms 3809–1, 3809–2, 3809–4,
3809–4a, and 3809–5 to collect financial
guarantee bond information for surface
management activities. The nonform
information under 43 CFR subpart 3809
authorizes operators and mining
claimants to perform surface
management activities under the
General Mining Law.
DATES: You must submit your comments
to BLM at the address below on or
before May 5, 2006. BLM will not
necessarily consider any comments
received after the above date.
ADDRESSES: You may mail comments to:
Regulatory Affairs Group (WO–630),
Eastern States Office, 7450 Boston Blvd.,
Springfield, Virginia 22153.
You may send comments via Internet
to: comments_washington@blm.gov.
Please include ‘‘ATTN: 1004–0194’’ and
your name and address with your
comments.
You may deliver comments to the
Bureau of Land Management,
Administrative Record, Room 401, 1620
L Street, NW., Washington, DC.

You
may contact T. Scott Murrellwright,
Solid Minerals Group, on (202) 785–
6568 (Commercial or FTS). Persons who
use a telecommunication device for the
deaf (TDD) may call the Federal
Information Relay Service (FIRS) on 1–
800–877–8330, 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, to contact Mr.
Murrellwright.
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.
Under the General Mining Law, a
citizen may enter onto public domain
lands that are subject to the law to
prospect and explore for valuable
mineral deposits. They may do so
without seeking the government’s
permission beforehand. The rights to a
deposit of a valuable mineral are
granted through the act of discovering
the mineral deposit. After making a
discovery, a prospector may choose to
locate and record a mining claim to
protect investments in exploration and
to have a secure tenure to discovered
valuable mineral deposits. Locating a
mining claim is not a prerequisite for
conducting operations on the public
lands, nor is it even a requirement for
carrying out mining operations. BLM
uses the regulations at 43 CFR subpart
3809 to govern hardrock mineral
exploration and development on the
public lands and Federal interests in the
lands. The hardrock minerals are subject
to the provisions of the 1872 General
Mining Law (30 U.S.C. 22, et seq., as
amended).
BLM collects nonform information on
surface management activities from
mining claimants and operators.

Based on BLM’s experience
administering this program, we estimate
the public reporting burden is 8 minutes
each to complete Forms 3809–1, 3809–
2, 3809–4, 3809–4a, and 3809–5. These
estimates include the time spent on
research, gathering, and assembling
information, reviewing instructions, and
completing the respective forms. The
BLM estimated 1,552 surface
management activity responses are filed
annually, with a total annual burden of
144,598 hours. Respondents vary, from
individuals and small businesses to
large corporations.
Any member of the public may
request and obtain, without charge, a
copy of BLM Forms 3809–1, 3809–2,
3809–4, 3809–4a, and 3809–5 by
contacting the person identified under
