Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission to the Office of Management and Budget for Review and Approval; Grazing Management: Range Improvement Agreements and Permits Materials
In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is requesting to extend an approved information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In accordance with the PRA and 
5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we invite the public and other Federal agencies to comment on new, proposed, revised and continuing collections of information. This helps the BLM assess impacts of its information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. It also helps the public understand BLM information collection requirements and ensure requested data is provided 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 March 19, 2026 (91 FR 13324). No comments were received in response to that notice.
As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burdens, we are again inviting the public and other Federal agencies to comment on the proposed ICR described below. The BLM is especially interested in public comments addressing the following:
(1) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility.
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used.
(3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and
(4) How the agency could minimize the burden of the information collection on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology,
e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personally identifiable information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personally identifiable information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personally identifiable information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
Abstract:
OMB Control Number 1004-0019 covers the information collections concerning range improvements to improve livestock grazing management, improve watershed conditions, enhance wildlife habitat on BLM lands, or serve similar purposes. Under 43 CFR 4120.3-1(b), the BLM requires that an operator enter into a Cooperative Range Improvement Agreement, or obtain a Range Improvement Permit, before installing, using, maintaining, and/or modifying a range improvement.

This OMB control number is currently scheduled to expire on August 31, 2026. The BLM request that OMB renew this OMB control number for an additional three (3) years.
