    Title: Mineral Materials Disposal.
    OMB Clearance No.: 1004-0103.
    Abstract: BLM proposes to extend the currently approved collection 
of information for the disposal through sale of mineral materials, such 
as sand, gravel, and petrified wood, on public lands. BLM uses the 
information that applicants provide to: (1) determine if the sale of 
the mineral materials is in the public interest, (2) mitigate any 
environmental impacts associated with mineral development, (3) get fair 
market value for the material sold, and (4) prevent the trespass 
removal of the resource. The collection also includes a sale contract 
form, BLM 3600-1.
    Bureau Form: 3600-1 (combines forms 3600-4, Contract for Cash Sale 
of Mineral Materials, Appraised at Less Than $2,000; and 3600-5, 
Contract for the Sale of Units of Materials, Appraised at $2,000 or 
More)
    Frequency: Once or twice per year.
    Description of Respondents: Respondents are operators desiring 
sand, gravel, stone, and other mineral materials from lands under BLM 
jurisdiction.
    Annual Respondents: 2,700.
    Annual Responses: 2,800.
    Annual Burden Hours: 1,475.
