this Information Collection Request
(ICR), contact Tom Huebner by email at
thuebner@blm.gov, or by telephone at
(307) 775–6195. Individuals in the
United States who are deaf, deafblind,
hard of hearing, or have a speech
disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or
TeleBraille) to access
telecommunications relay services.
Individuals outside the United States
should use the relay services offered
within their country to make
international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States. You may
also view the ICR at https://
www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the PRA (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we
invite the public and other Federal
agencies to comment on new, proposed,
revised and continuing collections of
information. This helps the BLM assess
impacts of its information collection
requirements and minimize the public’s
reporting burden. It also helps the
public understand BLM information
collection requirements and ensure
requested data are provided in the
desired format.
A Federal Register notice with a 60day public comment period soliciting
comments on this collection of
information was published on April 21,
2022 (87 FR 23883). No comments were
received.
As part of our continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burdens, we are again inviting the
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on the proposed ICR described
below. The BLM is especially interested
in public comment addressing the
following:
(1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility.
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used.
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice are a matter of public record.

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.
Abstract: The Free Use vegetative
permits are available for Mining
Claimants, Federal, State, Territorial
agencies, municipalities and
associations or corporations not
organized for profit and they must
certify that the materials will not be
used for commercial or industrial
purposes. Free Use Permits for Mineral
Materials are available to any Federal,
State, or territorial agency, unit, or
subdivision including municipalities or
any non-profit organization. OMB
Control Number 1004–0001 authorizes
the BLM to collect information to
continue the use of separate permit
forms for the free use of vegetative
materials and mineral materials. There
are no changes proposed for the forms.
We are, however, adjusting the total
estimated annual burden hours from
124 hours to 73 hours, a reduction of 51
annual burden hours. The reduction of
annual burden hours results from
adjusting the number of estimated
annual response from 247 to 146. The
number of annual responses is being
adjusted to reflect the average number of
applications received by the BLM over
the past three years. This OMB Control
Number is currently scheduled to expire
on January 31, 2023. The BLM request
that OMB renew this OMB Control
Number for an additional three years.
Title of Collection: Free Use
Application and Permit for Vegetative or
Mineral Materials (43 CFR parts 3600,
3620, and 5510).
OMB Control Number: 1004–0001.
Form Numbers: 3604–1 a and b, Free
Use Application and Permit for Mineral
Materials; and 5510–1, Free Use
Application and Permit for Vegetative
Materials.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Individuals seeking authorization for
free use of mineral or vegetative
materials.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 146.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 146.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 30 minutes.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 73.

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, notwithstanding any other
provision of law, 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
PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Notice of Recreational Target Shooting
Closure on Public Lands in the
Anderson Butte Area of Jackson
County, OR
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of temporary closure.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) is temporarily
closing 11 sites, totaling 50 acres, in the
Anderson Butte area of Jackson County,
Oregon, south of the cities of
Jacksonville and Medford, to
recreational target shooting for 2 years.
DATES: The lands described later in this
notice will be temporarily closed to
recreational target shooting for 2 years
from 12:01 a.m., October 20, 2022.
ADDRESSES: A notice, a map of the target
shooting closure, and other documents
associated with the temporary
recreational target shooting closure are
available at the BLM Medford District
Office, 3040 Biddle Rd., Medford,
Oregon 97504, and on the BLM’s
National NEPA Register ePlanning
website: https://eplanning.blm.gov/

Manager, telephone: (541) 618–2232,

are deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or

international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
temporary closure order applies to 11
sites that encompass approximately 4.5
acres (250-foot radius circle) each and
will collectively total approximately 50
acres of BLM-administered lands in the
Anderson Butte area of Jackson County,
Oregon. This temporary closure is
necessary to protect persons, property,
public lands, and resources from the
discharge or use of firearms at unsafe
locations. The temporary closure
applies only to recreational target
shooting. It does not prohibit public
access to this portion of the Anderson
Butte or apply to legal hunting in the
area.
The Anderson Butte area of BLMadministered lands consists of
approximately 11,459 acres located
immediately south of the cities of
Jacksonville and Medford, Oregon. The
area is used for a variety of outdoor
recreational activities including, but not
limited to, hiking, horseback riding,
hunting, mountain biking, off-highway
vehicle use, and recreational target
shooting. Despite more than 5 years of
efforts to reduce conflicts and dangers
associated with recreational target
shooting, the BLM continues to receive
reports of stray bullets traveling across
recreational trails and roads or onto
nearby private property. Eleven sites
were identified as posing a high risk of
potential harm to recreational users of
the area and nearby residents due to
recreational target shooting activities
occurring at those sites.
To ameliorate the dangerous and
unsafe target shooting activities at the
11 locations, the BLM Ashland Field
Office signed a Decision Record on
March 10, 2022, authorizing a
temporary closure to recreational target
shooting on select public lands. As
stated earlier, the temporary closure
only affects recreational target shooting;
it does not affect legal hunting.
The BLM will monitor recreation uses
and site conditions during the 2-year
temporary closure to determine if it
resolves the identified safety issues. The
findings will help guide long-term
solutions to these land management
challenges.
The BLM will post recreational target
shooting closure signs at main entry
points to the Anderson Butte area and
at the 11 target shooting locations.
Description of Closed Areas: The legal
description of the affected public lands
is:
