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 
collect information from applicants for free use permits for vegetative 
or mineral material. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has 
assigned control number 1004-0001 to this information collection.

DATES: The OMB is required to respond to this information collection 
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 [email protected]. Please provide a 
copy of your comments to the BLM. You may do so via mail, fax, or

    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: [email protected].
    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;
     3604-1b, Free Use Permit for Mineral Materials; and
     5510-1, Free Use Application and Permit for Vegetative 
Materials.
    Description of Respondents: Individuals seeking authorization for 
free use of mineral or vegetative materials.
    Estimated Annual Responses: 403.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 241.
