    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: jesonnem@blm.gov.
    Please reference OMB Control Number 1004-0042 in the subject line 
of your comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request additional information 
about this ICR, contact Holle Waddell by email at hwaddell@blm.gov, or 
by telephone at 405-579-1860.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, we provide the 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.
    We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described 
below. We are especially interested in public comments addressing the 
following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper 
functions of the BLM; (2) can 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. We will include or summarize comments in our 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 withhold your personal 
identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we 
will be able to do so.
    Abstract: This notice pertains to the collection of information 
that enables the BLM to administer its program for wild horses and 
burros in compliance with the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act 
(16 U.S.C. 1331-1340). In addition to seeking renewal of control number 
1004-0042, the BLM requests revision of an existing information-
collection activity and form, and requests the addition of an 
information-collection form that has been in use without a control 
number.
    OMB has approved Form 4710-10 and its information-collection 
activity previously with the title, ``Application for Adoption of Wild 
Horse(s) or Burro(s).'' The BLM proposes that the information-
collection activity and form be revised to enable both adoptions and 
purchases of wild horses or burros, as authorized by 43 U.S.C. 1333(d) 
and (e). The revised form that includes sales is titled, ``Application 
for Adoption & Sale of Wild Horses and Burros.''
    The form that has been in use without a control number is Form 
4710-24, ``BLM Facility Requirement Form'' for use by individuals and 
non-governmental organizations that participate along with the BLM in 
joint training programs to increase the number of trained animals 
available for adoption or purchase.
    Title of Collection: Protection, Management, and Control of Wild 
Horses and Burros (43 CFR part 4700).
    OMB Control Number: 1004-0042.
    Form Numbers: 4710-10 and 4710-24.
    Type of Review: Renewal and revision of a currently approved 
collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Those who wish to adopt and or 
purchase wild horses and burros.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 7,943.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 7,943.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from 10 minutes to 
30 minutes, depending on activity.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 3,822.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
    Total Estimated Annual Non-hour Burden Cost: $2,400.
    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).

Information Collection Clearance Officer, Bureau of Land Management.
