to withhold your personal identifying

cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: Control number 1004–0058,
as currently approved, authorizes the
collection of information that assists the
BLM in enforcing timber export and
substitution prohibitions.
The BLM now requests that control
number 1004–0058 be renewed and
revised by adding 2 information
collection activities that have been in
use without a control number.
One addition, ‘‘Log Scale and
Disposition of Timber Removed
Report,’’ requires purchasers of Federal
timber to report volumes of timber
removed from Federal lands, and to
identify processors of timber. Like the
previously approved information
collection activities, this activity assists
the BLM in enforcing timber export and
substitution prohibitions.
The other addition, ‘‘Protests,’’
provides an opportunity to seek
administrative remedies for forest
management decisions.
Title of Collection: Forest
Management Decision Protest Process
and Log Export and Substitution.
OMB Control Number: 1004–0058.
Form Numbers: 5450–17, 5460–15,
and 5460–17.
Type of Review: Revision of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Purchasers of Federal timber, their
affiliates, and any person who wishes to
protest a BLM forest management
decision.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 325.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 325.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Varies from 1 to 10 hours,
depending on activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 550.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
Obtain or Retain a Benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: $0.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.
The authority for this action is the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq).
