SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
6, 2006, the BLM published a notice in
the Federal Register (71 FR 11224)
requesting comments on the information
collection. The comment period closed
on May 5, 2006. The BLM did not
receive any comments. We are soliciting
comments on the following:
(a) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
functioning of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
43 CFR Citation
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 prerequesite for
conducting operations on the public
lands, nor is it even a requirement for
carrying out mining operations. The
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 form and nonform
information on surface management
activities from mining claimants and
operators.
Burden Estimate Per Form: The
following chart lists form and non-form
information collection requirements that
are submitted quarterly, monthly, on
occasion, and annually to the BLM by
the private sector.
(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.
Title: Surface Management (43 CFR
subpart 3809).
OMB Control Number: 1004–0194.
Abstract: 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

Title: Timber Export Reporting and
Substitution Determination (43 CFR part
5420)
OMB Control Number: 1004–0058.
Abstract: The BLM manages and sells
timber located on the revested Oregon
and California Railroad and the
reconveyed Coos Bay Wagon Road Grant
Lands under the authority of the Act of
August 28, 1937 (50 Stat. 875, 43 U.S.C.
1181e). Under the Act of July 31, 1947,
as amended (61 Stat. 681, 30 U.S.C. 601
et seq.), BLM also manages and sells
timber located on other lands under our
jurisdiction. The Department of the
Interior and Related Agencies
Appropriation Acts of 1975 and 1976
contained a requirement for the
inclusion of provisions in timber sale
contracts that will ensure that
unprocessed timber sold from public
lands under the jurisdiction of the BLM
will not be exported or used by the
purchasers as a substitute for timber
they export or sell for export. The
regulations at 43 CFR part 5400, Sales
of Forest Products, General, cover these
provisions.
Timber purchasers or their afiliates
must submit the information listed at 43
CFR 5424.1(a) using Form 5460–17,
Substitution Determination. We collect
the purchaser’s name, timber contract
number, processing facility lcoation,
total volume of Federal timber
purchased on an annual basis, total
volume of private timber exported on an
annual basis, and method of measuring
the volume. The regulation at 43 CFR
5424.1(b) requires that the purchasers or
affiliates retain a record of Federal
timber acquisitions and private timber
exports for three years from the date the
activity occurred. BLM uses this
PO 00000

information to determine if there was a
substitution of Federal timber for
exported private timber in violation of
43 CFR 5400.0–3(c).
Burden Estimate Per Form: We
estimate it takes 1 hour to complete
Form 5460–17 and is submitted on
occasion to the BLM by the private
sector.

Title: Coal Management (43 CFR part 3400).
OMB Control Number: 1004-0073.
Abstract: The BLM manages the leasing and development of Federal
coal under the regulations at 43 CFR Group 3400. These regulations
implement numerous statutes including:
(1) The Mineral Leasing Act of 1920;
(2) The 1976 coal amendments (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.);
(3) The Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired Lands of 1947 (30 U.S.C.
351-359);
(4) The Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C.

(5) The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (30
U.S.C. 1201 et seq.);
(6) The Multiple Mineral Development Act of 1954 (30 U.S.C. 521-

(7) The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321
et seq.); and
(8) The Act of October 30, 1978 (92 Stat. 2073-2075).
BLM uses the information provided by the applicant(s) on BLM Forms
3400-12 and 3440-1 to determine if the applicant to lease or develop
Federal coal is qualified to hold such a lease.
Burden Estimate Per Form: We estimate it takes 1 hour to complete
Form 3400-12 and 21 hours for Form 3440-1 and is submitted quarterly,
