supplementary information: In accordance with 5 CFR 1320.12(a), BLM is 
required to provide 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning a 
collection of information contained in BLM Form 1370-36. BLM will 
receive and analyze any comments sent in response to this notice and 
include them with its request for approval from the OMB under 44 U.S.C. 
3501 et seq. We specifically request your comments on: (a) Whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
agency's estimate of the burden of collecting the information, 
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) 
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of collecting the 
information, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology.
    Respondents supply identifying information and data on the campsite 
number, data camping, number in party, ZIP Code, fee paid, vehicle 
license number, and primary purpose of visit. This information allows 
the BLM to determine if all users have paid the required fee, the 
number of users, and their State or origin.
    Based on BLM's experience administering the activities described 
above, the public reporting burden for the information collected is 
estimated to average about 3 minutes per response. The respondents are 
individuals desiring to use the campground. The frequency of response 
is occasionally. The number of responses per year is estimated to total 
108,000. The estimated total annual burden on new respondents is about 
5,400 hours. BLM is specifically requesting your comments on its 
estimate of the amount of time that it takes to prepare a response.
    BLM will summarize all responses to this notice and include them in 
the request for Office of Management and Budget approval. All comments 
will also become a matter of public record.

    Dated: June 18, 1998.

Bureau of Land Management Clearance Officer.
