Abstract: The Taylor Grazing Act of
1934 (43 U.S.C. 315) and the Federal
Land Policy and Management Act of
1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701) authorize the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to
administer the livestock grazing
program consistent with land use plans,
multiple use objectives, sustained yield,
environmental values, economic
considerations, and other factors.

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 184 / Monday, September 25, 2023 / Notices
Maintaining accurate records of
permittee and lessee qualifications for a
grazing permit or lease, base property
used in conjunction with public lands,
and the actual use made by livestock
authorized to graze on the public lands,
is an important and integral part of the
program administration and grazing
management. The regulations at 43 CFR
4110.1 and 43 CFR 4110.2 require
application and notice to the BLM to
transfer grazing preference and to apply
for a permit or lease in conjunction with
a preference transfer. The regulations at
43 CFR 4130.1 require existing
permittees and lessees to apply to the
BLM for changes in their authorized
grazing. The regulations at 43 CFR
4130.3–2(d) allow the BLM to require
permittees or lessees operating under a
grazing permit or lease to submit an
actual grazing use report within 15 days
after completing their annual grazing
use, or as otherwise specified in the
permit or lease. The regulations at 43
CFR 4130.6–1 allow BLM to enter into
‘‘exchange-of-use’’ agreements with
applicants who own or control lands
that are unfenced and intermingled with
public lands within an allotment. The
BLM requires applicants, permittees,
and lessees to submit the required
information on Forms 4130–1, 4130–1a,
4130–1b, 4130–3a, 4130–4, and 4130–5.
This OMB Control Number is currently
scheduled to expire on April 30, 2024.
The BLM request that OMB renew this
OMB Control Number for an additional
three (3) years.
Title of Collection: Authorizing
Grazing Use (43 CFR subparts 4110 and
4130).
OMB Control Number: 1004–0041.
Form Numbers: 4130–1, 4130–1a,
4130–1b, 4130–3a, 4130–4, and 4130–5.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: Any
U.S. citizen or validly licensed business
may apply for a BLM grazing permit or
lease. The BLM administers nearly
18,000 permits and leases for grazing
domestic livestock, at least part of the
year on public lands.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 18,010.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 33,810.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: Varies from 10 to 35 minutes,
depending on activity.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 7,855.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: $30,000.

This notice announces the
decision to request that the Okefenokee

regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
Background
The World Heritage List is an
international list of cultural and natural
properties nominated by the signatories
to the World Heritage Convention
(1972). The United States was the prime
architect of the Convention, an
international treaty for preservation of
natural and cultural heritage sites of
PO 00000

global significance. The World Heritage
Committee, composed of representatives
of 21 nations periodically elected as the
governing body of the World Heritage
Convention, makes the final decisions
on which nominations to accept on the
World Heritage List. There are 1,157
sites in 167 countries. Currently there
are 24 World Heritage Sites in the
United States. U.S. participation and the
roles of the Department of the Interior
(Department) and the National Park
Service (NPS) are authorized by title IV
of the Historic Preservation Act
Amendments of 1980 and conducted in
accordance with 36 CFR 73—World
Heritage Convention. Each State Party to
the Convention maintains a Tentative
List, periodically updated, of properties
that are considered suitable for
nomination. Only properties on the
Tentative List are eligible to officially
prepare nominations that the
Department may consider for
submission. Okefenokee National
Wildlife Refuge has been included on
the U.S. Tentative List since 1982.
Neither inclusion in the list nor
inscription as a World Heritage Site
imposes legal restrictions on owners or
neighbors of sites, nor does it give the
United Nations any management
authority or ownership rights in U.S.
World Heritage Sites, which continue to
be subject only to U.S. law.
The Assistant Secretary for Fish and
Wildlife and Parks (Assistant Secretary)
initiates the process to nominate U.S.
sites to the World Heritage List by
publishing a notice in the Federal
Register seeking public comment on
which properties on the U.S. Tentative
List should be nominated next by the
United States. The first notice (88 FR
37270, as required by 36 CFR 73.7(c))
was published on June 7, 2023.
Following the publication of the first
notice, the Assistant Secretary consults
the Federal Interagency Panel for World
Heritage to review the public comments
submitted and make a recommendation.
If the Panel recommends that a property
be nominated and the recommendation
is accepted by the Assistant Secretary, a
second notice is issued. This is the
second notice as required by 36 CFR
73.7(f) on the proposed nomination. The
Panel assists the Department in
implementing the Convention by
making recommendations on U.S.
World Heritage policy, procedures, and
nominations. The Panel is chaired by
the Assistant Secretary.
Decision To Request the Preparation of
a New U.S. World Heritage Nomination
The Department received over 10,300
comments in response to the first notice,
many of them regarding Okefenokee
