I. Abstract
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) regulations in 5 CFR part 1320,
which implement the Paperwork

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 118 / Tuesday, June 19, 2012 / Notices
(see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)). This notice
identifies an information collection
activity that the Office of Budget is
planning to submit to OMB for
extension or re-approval.
Public Law 97–258 (31 U.S.C. 6901–
6907), as amended, the Payments in
Lieu of Taxes (PILT) Act, was designed
by Congress to help local governments
recover some of the expenses they incur
in providing services on public lands.
These local governments receive funds
under various Federal land payment
programs such as the National Forest
Revenue Act, the Mineral Lands Leasing
Act, and the Taylor Grazing Act. PILT
payments supplement the payments that
local governments receive under these
other programs. While the program is
due to expire in 2012, the FY 2013
budget proposes a one-year extension of
the current PILT program, maintaining
the existing formula for calculating
payments to counties. That proposal is
currently pending before Congress. This
renewal authority is being done in
anticipation of reauthorization by
Congress.
The PILT Act requires that the
Governor of each State furnish the
Department of the Interior with a listing
of payments disbursed to local
governments by the States on behalf of
the Federal Government under 12
statutes described in Section 6903 of 31
U.S.C. The Department of the Interior
uses the amounts reported by the States
to reduce PILT payments to units of
general local governments from that
which they might otherwise receive. If
such listings were not furnished by the
Governor of each affected State, the
Department would not be able to
compute the PILT payments to units of
general local government within the
States in question.
In fiscal year 2004, administrative
authority for the PILT program was
transferred from the Bureau of Land
Management to the Office of the
Secretary of the Department of the
Interior. Applicable DOI regulations
pertaining to the PILT program to be
administered by the Office of the
Secretary were published as a final rule
in the Federal Register on December 7,
2004 (69 FR 70557). The Office of
Budget, Office of the Secretary is now
planning to extend the information
collection approval authority in order to
enable the Department of the Interior to
continue to comply with the PILT Act.
