    Title: Use and Occupancy and under the Mining Laws (43 CFR 3715).
    OMB approval number: 1004-0169.
    Abstract: The Bureau of Land Management is proposing to renew the 
approval of an information collection for a new rule at 43 CFR 3715. 
That rule will manage use and occupancy on unpatented mining claims. It 
sets out the restrictions on use and occupancy of unpatented mining 
claims and mill sites on Federal lands and to provide field managers 
with the tools necessary to manage occupancy and use. The final rule 
would define those activities that are related to prospecting, mining, 
or processing operations and uses reasonably incident thereto. The rule 
would establish conditions for determining whether these criteria are 
met, procedures for initiation of occupancy, standards for the use or 
occupancy, prohibited acts, procedures for inspection and enforcement, 
and procedures for recognizing and managing existing occupancies. It 
would also provide for penalties and appeals procedures. The rules only 
apply to public land under the administration of the Bureau of Land 
Management.
