ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has submitted an
information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) to continue the collection of information that enables the BLM to

request within 60 days but may respond after 30 days. For maximum
consideration, written comments should be received on or before
September 30, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Please submit comments directly to the Desk Officer for the
Department of the Interior (OMB #1004-0001), Office of Management and
Budget, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, fax 202-395-5806,
or by electronic mail at OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov. Please provide a
copy of your comments to the BLM. You may do so via mail, fax, or
electronic mail.
Mail: U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management,
1849 C Street NW., Room 2134LM, Attention: Jean Sonneman, Washington,
DC 20240.
Fax: to Jean Sonneman at 202-245-0050.
Electronic mail: Jean_Sonneman@blm.gov.
Please indicate ``Attn: 1004-0001'' regardless of the form of your
comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mike Bechdolt, at 202-912-7234
(vegetative material); or George Brown, at 202-912-7118 (mineral
material). Persons who use a telecommunication device for the deaf may
call the Federal Information Relay Service at 1-800-877-8339, to leave
a message for Mr. Brown or Mr. Bechdolt. You may also review the
information collection request online at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/.

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 March 30, 2016 (81 FR 17732), and the
comment period ended May 31, 2016. The BLM received one comment. The
comment did not address, and was not germane to, this information
collection. Therefore, we have not revised the collection of
information in response to the comment.
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 1004-0001 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: Free Use Application and Permit for Vegetative or Mineral
Materials (43 CFR parts 3600, 3620, and 5510).
OMB Control Number: 1004-0001.
Summary: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) collects information
from respondents for free use permits for vegetative or mineral
materials in order to: (1) Determine whether the applicant is eligible
for free use, (2) Determine whether the vegetative or mineral materials
at issue qualify for free use; (3) Determine whether free use is
consistent with pertinent land use plans and authorities; and (4)
Monitor the authorized removal and uses of vegetative and mineral
materials to ensure sustainable resource management and verify that the
actual use is consistent with the authorization. The BLM seeks approval
to continue to use one combined application and permit form for
vegetative materials, and begin using two different forms for mineral
materials (one for applications, and one for permits).
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Forms:
3604-1a, Free Use Permit Application for Mineral
Materials;
