Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved information collection. Abstract: This collection of information pertains to the Helium Privatization Act of 1996, which provides that only authorized contractors may sell helium to Federal agencies. The BLM uses this information to verify that authorized contractors are in compliance with the Helium Privatization Act. In order to become an authorized contractor, a helium supplier must enter into an InKind Crude Helium Sales Contract to purchase from the Secretary of Interior amounts of crude helium that are equivalent to amounts the supplier sells to agencies of the Federal Government. 50 U.S.C. 167d. In the past, the BLM provided Form 1422x–922 for FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 respondents to comply with some of these requirements, but the pertinent regulations do not require that they use the form. The respondents have demonstrated compliance with the Helium Privatization Act without using the form and the BLM has determined that the form is no longer necessary to collect information. As a result, the BLM has decided to eliminate Form 1422X–922, although the BLM will continue to require respondents to submit pertinent information through written or electronic means as required by 43 CFR part 3195. The BLM uses the information for reporting and recordkeeping. Responses are required to obtain a benefit. Frequency of Collection: Quarterly and annually. Annual Burden Hours: 32 responses with 3.25 hours per response totals 104 burden hours. Annual Non-hour Burden Cost: There are no processing fees associated with this collection. Comments: As required in 5 CFR 1320.8(d), the BLM published the 60day notice in the Federal Register on June 14, 2010 (75 FR 33632) soliciting comments from the public and other interested parties. The comment period closed on August 13, 2010. The BLM did not receive any comments from the public in response to this notice, and did not receive any unsolicited comments. The BLM now requests comments on the following subjects: 1. Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper functioning of the BLM, including whether the information will have practical utility; 2. The accuracy of the BLM’s estimate of the burden of collecting the information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; 3. The quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and 4. How to minimize the information collection burden on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other forms of information technology.
