BLM may authorize private landowners in western Oregon to transport their timber over BLMcontrolled roads under Title V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1761). The logging road right-of-way permits that BLM issues are subject to the requirements of the O&C Logging Road Right-of-Way regulations (43 CFR subpart 2812). As a condition of each right-of-way permit, a permittee must provide us with a certified statement containing the amount of timber removed, the lands from which the timber was removed, and the BLM roads used to transport the timber. Permittees must submit this information on a quarterly basis using the Form OR– 2812–6, Report of Road Use. The fees we receive for road use contribute to the recovery of costs incurred in the construction of forest access roads. The fees we collect for road maintenance are reimbursements PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 for services we provide to maintain roads. If we did not require the collection of information included in the Repot of Road Use form, it would not be possible to determine payment amounts, ledger account status, or monitor compliance with the terms and conditions of the permit. The cost for services we provide would not be collected in a timely manner if we reduce the frequency of reporting. This has a direct effect on the ability of BLM to properly maintain its road system, protect the road investment, and provide safe and efficient access to the public lands. Based on our experience administering the activities described above, we estimate the public reporting burden for the information collected is 1 hour per response. The 400 respondents include individuals, partnerships, and corporations engaged to remove and transport timber and other forest products. The frequency of response is quarterly. We estimate 1,600 responses per year and a total annual burden of 1,600 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. Dated: June 5, 2006. Ted R. Hudson, Bureau of Land Management, Information Collection Clearance Officer.

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 burden of the proposed 
collection of information, 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 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.
    BLM may authorize private landowners in western Oregon to transport 
their timber over BLM-controlled roads under Title V of the Federal 
Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1761). The logging 
road right-of-way permits that BLM issues are subject to the 
requirements of the O&C Logging Road Right-of-Way regulations (43 CFR 
subpart 2812). As a condition of each right-of-way permit, a permittee 
must provide us with a certified statement containing the amount of 
timber removed, the lands from which the timber was removed, and the 
BLM roads used to transport the timber. Permittees must submit this 
information on a quarterly basis using the Form OR-2812-6, Report of 
Road Use.
    The fees we receive for road use contribute to the recovery of 
costs incurred in the construction of forest access roads. The fees we 
collect for road maintenance are reimbursements for services we provide 
to maintain roads. If we did not require the collection of information 
included in the Repot of Road Use form, it would not be possible to 
determine payment amounts, ledger account status, or monitor compliance 
with the terms and conditions of the permit. The cost for services we 
provide would not be collected in a timely manner if we reduce the 
frequency of reporting. This has a direct effect on the ability of BLM 
to properly maintain its road system, protect the road investment, and 
provide safe and efficient access to the public lands.
    Based on our experience administering the activities described 
above, we estimate the public reporting burden for the information 
collected is 1 hour per response. The 400 respondents include 
individuals, partnerships, and corporations engaged to remove and 
transport timber and other forest products. The frequency of response 
is quarterly. We estimate 1,600 responses per year and a total annual 
burden of 1,600 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.
