SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), all 
information collections require approval under the PRA. We may not 
conduct, or sponsor and you are not required to respond to a collection 
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on 
new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This 
helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements 
and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public 
understand our information collection requirements and provide the 
requested data in the desired format.
    We are 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 through 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 that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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.
    Abstract: The BLM collections the information on the Resource 
Advisory Council Application (Form No. 1120-19) to determine education, 
training, and experience related to possible service on advisory 
committees established under the authority of Section 309 of the 
Federal Land Policy and Management Act (43 U.S.C. 1739) and the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. ch. 10. This information is necessary 
to ensure that each advisory council is structured to provide fair 
membership balance, both geographic and interest-specific, in terms of 
the functions to be performed and points of view to be represented, as 
prescribed by its charter. OMB's approval for the collection of 
information under this OMB control number is scheduled to expire on 
April 30, 2025. This request is for OMB to renewal for this OMB control 
number for an additional three (3) years.

Council Application (43 CFR Subpart 1784).
