SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501- 3521) and OMB regulations at 5 CFR part 1320 provide that an agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Until OMB approves a collection of information, you are not obligated to respond. In order to obtain and renew an OMB control number, Federal agencies are required to seek public comment on information collection and recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)). As required at 5 CFR 1320.8(d), the BLM published a 60-day notice in the Federal Register on February 11, 2015 (80 FR 7630), and the comment period ended April 13, 2015. The BLM received no comments. The BLM now requests comments on the following subjects: 1. Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper functioning of the BLM, including whether the information will have practical utility; 2. The accuracy of the BLM's estimate of the burden of collecting the information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; 3. The quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and 4. How to minimize the information collection burden on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other forms of information technology. Please send comments as directed under ADDRESSES and DATES. Please refer to OMB control number 1004-0153 in your correspondence. 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. The following information pertains to this request: Title: Conveyance of Federally-Owned Mineral Interests (43 CFR part 2720). Form: None. OMB Control Number: 1004-0153. Abstract: The respondents in this information collection are owners of surface estates who apply for title to underlying Federally-owned mineral estates. The BLM needs to conduct the information collection to determine if the applicants are eligible to receive title to the Federally-owned minerals lying beneath their lands. When certain specific conditions have been met, the United States will convey legal title to the Federally-owned minerals to the owner of the surface estate. Frequency: On occasion. Description of Respondents: Owners of surface estates who apply for underlying Federally-owned mineral estates. Estimated Number of Responses: 24 annually. Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping ``Hour'' Burden: 240 hours annually. Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping ``Non-Hour Cost'' Burden: $1,200 annually.
