The following information is provided
for the information collection:
Title: Mineral Surveys, Mineral Patent
Applications, Adverse Claims, Protests,
and Contests (43 CFR parts 3860 and
3870).
OMB Control Number: 1004–0025.
Abstract: On its face, the General
Mining Law (30 U.S.C. 29, 30, and 39)
authorizes a holder of an unpatented
claim for hardrock minerals to apply for
fee title (patent) to the federal land (as
well as minerals) embraced in the claim.
Since 1994, a rider on the annual
appropriation bill for the Department of
the Interior has prevented the BLM from
processing mineral patent applications
unless the applications were
grandfathered under the initial
legislation. While grandfathered
applications are rare at present, the
approval to collect the information
continues to be necessary because of the
possibility that the moratorium will be
lifted.
Frequency of Collection: Once.
Form: Certificate of Title on Mining
Claims (Form 3860–2) and Application
for Survey on Mining Claim (Form
3860–5).
Description of Respondents: Owners
of unpatented mining claims and mill
sites upon the public lands, and of
reserved mineral lands of the United
States, National Forests, and National
Parks.
Estimated Annual Burdens: 10
responses.
Estimated Hour Burden: 559 hours.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Estimated ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’ Burden:
$174,205.
The ‘‘Non-Hour Cost’’ burden
estimate includes $14,005 for fixed
document processing fees, $1,200 for
publication cost, and $159,000 for caseby-case fee for validity examinations.
