In the event modifications are made in the form of a proposed contract, the appropriate regional director shall determine whether republication of the notice and/or extension of the comment period is necessary.

At a minimum, the regional director shall furnish revised contracts to all parties who requested the contract in response to the initial public notice.

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;

the public reporting burden is 3 hours for each nomination and 30 
minutes for each request for confidential cave information. BLM 
estimates that 50 cave nominations and 10 requests for confidential 
cave information will be filed annually, with a total annual burden of 
155 hours. Respondents are cavers and other interested parties.
