Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 31 / Friday, February 14, 2020 / Notices land as suitable for disposal on page 104 and management action 6009. FLPMA Section 203 allows for the disposal of public lands if they meet the following disposal criteria: ‘‘Such tract, because of its location or other characteristics, is difficult and uneconomic to manage as part of the public lands, and is not suitable for management by another Federal department or agency.’’ The subject parcels meet this criteria because the existing structures and the change in the character of the lands associated with agricultural ranching operations make the lands difficult to manage as public lands. A parcel-specific EA, document numbered DOI–BLM–WY–R010–2019– 0017–EA, was prepared in connection with this sale. A copy of the EA, Finding of No Significant Impact and Decision Record are available online at: https://go.usa.gov/xmQfd. The parcels are not identified as access points for recreation in accordance with Secretary’s Order 3373—Evaluating Public Access in Bureau of Land Management Public Land Disposals and Exchanges. There are no anticipated impacts from the BLM-managed public land disposal on recreational access to adjacent tracts of publicly accessible lands. In accordance with 43 CFR 2710–0– 6(c)(3)(iii) and 43 CFR 2711.3–3(a), a direct sale may be appropriate to resolve inadvertent, unauthorized use of the land or to protect existing equities in the land. In this case, a competitive sale is not appropriate because the subject lands contain improvements that directly support the adjoining ranch property, owned by Paint Rock Angus Ranch, Inc., rendering the land unusable by the public. The minimal acreage was considered to create a manageable boundary that included the lands needed to protect the existing irrigation improvements and resolve inadvertent unauthorized use. The public’s interest is best served by resolving the inadvertent unauthorized use and receiving payment at FMV for the public lands. Upon publication of this Notice in the Federal Register, the public lands described above will be segregated from all forms of appropriation under the public land laws, including the mining laws, except for the sale provisions of the FLPMA. The temporary segregation will terminate upon, (1) Issuance of a conveyance document, (2) Publication in the Federal Register terminating the segregation, or (3) On February 14, 2022, unless extended by the BLM Wyoming State Director, in accordance with 43 CFR 2711.1–2(d). VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:56 Feb 13, 2020 Jkt 250001 Upon publication of this Notice, the BLM will no longer accept land use applications affecting these public lands, except applications for the amendment of previously filed rights-ofway applications or existing authorizations to increase the term of the grants in accordance with 43 CFR 2807.15 and 43 CFR 2886.15. The conveyance document, if issued, will be subject to the following terms, conditions, and reservations: 1. A rights-of-way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the authority of the United States, Act of August 30, 1890 (43 U.S.C. 945); 2. All mineral deposits in the lands so conveyed and to it, or persons authorized by it, the right to prospect for, mine and remove such deposits from the same under applicable law and regulations to be established by the Secretary of the Interior, together with all necessary access and exit rights; and 3. All valid existing rights issued prior to conveyance. The BLM will publish this Notice in the Basin Republican Rustler newspaper once each week for 3 consecutive weeks. Only written comments submitted by postal service or overnight mail will be considered as properly filed. Electronic mail, facsimile, or telephone comments will not be considered. Any adverse comments regarding the sale will be reviewed by the BLM Wyoming State Director or other authorized official of the Department of the Interior, who may sustain, vacate, or modify this realty action in response to such comments. In the absence of any timely filed objections, this realty action will become the final determination of the Department of the Interior. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Comments, including names and street addresses of respondents, will be available for public review at the BLM Worland Field Office during regular business hours, except holidays.

The form requests profile information on providers that enroll in one or more of OWCP’s benefit programs so its billing contractor can pay them for services rendered to beneficiaries using its automated bill processing system. In addition to the enrollment form information collection, the OWCP bill processing contractor currently collects electronic data interchange (EDI) information from the provider only if the provider chooses a data exchange submission method. Once the new OWCP–1168 form is in place, the existing EDI template will no longer be applicable. The current EDI template collects information that is duplicative to information collected on Form OWCP–1168, such as names, addresses, and NPI. Collecting EDI information with the enrollment information in one form will improve efficiency in collecting the information from providers, reduce the time required for processing by operational staff, and will significantly reduce errors associated with mismatching provider enrollments to their EDI information. This information collection will be submitted to OMB under the emergency processing request procedures, as outlined by 5 CFR part 1320 Section 13, to allow for implementation of the revisions to the Provider Enrollment Form as soon as possible, and to incorporate regulatory updates implementing the Black Lung benefits Act which becomes applicable on April 26, 2020. Once OMB has approved the emergency processing request, a separate 60-day Federal Register Notice will be published to again solicit public comments. This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks approval under the PRA for 
revisions to the Provider Enrollment

[[Page 8610]]

Form (Form OWCP-1168). The form requests profile information on 
providers that enroll in one or more of OWCP's benefit programs so its 
billing contractor can pay them for services rendered to beneficiaries 
using its automated bill processing system. In addition to the 
enrollment form information collection, the OWCP bill processing 
contractor currently collects electronic data interchange (EDI) 
information from the provider only if the provider chooses a data 
exchange submission method. Once the new OWCP-1168 form is in place, 
the existing EDI template will no longer be applicable. The current EDI 
template collects information that is duplicative to information 
collected on Form OWCP-1168, such as names, addresses, and NPI. 
Collecting EDI information with the enrollment information in one form 
will improve efficiency in collecting the information from providers, 
reduce the time required for processing by operational staff, and will 
significantly reduce errors associated with mismatching provider 
enrollments to their EDI information. This information collection will 
be submitted to OMB under the emergency processing request procedures, 
as outlined by 5 CFR part 1320 Section 13, to allow for implementation 
of the revisions to the Provider Enrollment Form as soon as possible, 
and to incorporate regulatory updates implementing the Black Lung 
benefits Act which becomes applicable on April 26, 2020. Once OMB has 
approved the emergency processing request, a separate 60-day Federal 
Register Notice will be published to again solicit public comments.
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and 
the public is generally not required to respond to an information 
collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays 
a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any 
other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to 
penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information that 
does not display a valid Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 
1320.6.

Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1240-0021.
    The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on

techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses.
