at 50 CFR 17.22 for endangered wildlife
species, 50 CFR 17.32 for threatened
wildlife species, 50 CFR 17.62 for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C.

information collections require approval
under the PRA. The BLM may not
conduct or sponsor a collection of
information and a response to a request
for information is not required unless it
displays a current 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
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.
The BLM is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following:
(1) whether collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
if the information will have practical
utility;
(2) determination of the accuracy of
the BLM’s estimate of the burden for
collection of information, including
validity of methodology and
assumptions used;
(3) methods to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of information to be
collected; and
(4) how the agency can minimize the
burden of information collection on
those who respond, including use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice are a matter of public record.
The BLM will include or summarize
each comment in its 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
