SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, the BLM provides the general public and other Federal 
agencies with an opportunity 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.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
January 16, 2018 (83 FR 2183). The comment period closed on March 19, 
2018. On April 11, 2018, 23 days after the comment period closed, the 
BLM received two comments via email. The comments referred specifically 
to the Bears Ears National Monument.
    Except for the mention of the OMB control number in the title of 
each comment, the comments did not mention the information collection, 
and the BLM has taken no action to revise the information collection in 
response to the comments. The BLM Information Collection Clearance 
Officer has forwarded the comments to the appropriate BLM staff for 
consideration.
    The BLM is again soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is 
described below. We are especially interested in public comment 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the 
proper functions of the BLM; (2) will this information be processed and 
used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) 
how might the BLM enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the BLM minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. 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: Section 209(b) of the Federal Land Policy and Management 
Act (43 U.S.C. 1719) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to convey 
Federally-owned mineral interests to non-Federal owners of the surface 
estate. The respondents in this information collection are non-Federal 
owners of surface estates who apply for underlying Federally-owned 
mineral interests. This information collection enables the BLM to 
determine if the applicants are eligible to receive title to the 
Federally-owned mineral interests beneath their lands. Regulations at 
43 CFR part 2720

[[Page 29568]]

establish guidelines and procedures for the processing of these 
applications.
    Title of Collection: Conveyance of Federally-Owned Mineral 
Interests.
    OMB Control Number: 1004-0153.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Owners of surface estates (i.e., 
individuals, businesses, or state, local, or tribal governments) that 
want to obtain underlying Federally-owned mineral estates.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 5.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 5.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: 1 hour.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 5.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to Obtain or Retain a Benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.

    An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required 
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number.
    The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
