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 General Mining Law (30 U.S.C.
612), Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C.
1733), and the regulations is collected
under 43 CFR 3715 authorize the BLM
to manage use and occupancy of mining
claims on public lands. The nonform
information in the regulations is
collected under 43 CFR part 3715,
which authorizes the BLM to collect
information concerning proposed
mining development activities on public
lands. Without this information, the
BLM would not be able to analyze and
approve mining claimants’ proposed use
and occupancy activities.
Mining claimants planning to occupy
their mining claims on public lands
under the mining laws must submit the
following information to the BLM:
(1) A detailed map that identifies the
site and shows the place of temporary
and permanent structures for
occupancy, the location of and reason
for the structures intended to exclude
the public, and the location of
reasonable public passage or access
routes through or around the area
adjacent to public lands;
(2) A written description of the
proposed occupancy that describes in
detail how the proposed occupancy is
reasonably incident to mining and how
the proposed occupancy meets the
conditions of 43 CFR 3715.2 and
3715.2–1; and
(3) An estimate of the period of use
of the structures during which the
public would be excluded, and a
schedule for removing them and
reclaiming the lands when the
operations end.
Based upon the BLM’s experience
with mining claims use and occupancy
activity, it estimates the public reporting
information collection burden takes 2
hours to gather and complete. The
respondents are mining claimants and
operators of prospecting, exploration,
mining, and processing operations. The
estimated number of responses per year
is 150 and the total annual burden is
300 hours. The BLM will summarize all
responses to this notice and include
them in the request OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of
public record.
