renewal of an existing approval to collect certain information from 
individuals desiring to use campgrounds. This information allows BLM to 
determine if all users have paid the required fee, the number of users, 
and their State of origin.

DATES: You must submit your comments to BLM at the appropriate address 
below on or before January 29, 2000. BLM will not necessarily consider 
any comments received after the above date.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to: Regulatory Affairs Group (630), 
Bureau of Land Management, 1849 C Street, NW., Room 401LS, Washington,

    Comments may be sent via Internet to: [email protected]. Please 
include ``ATTN: 104-0133'' and your name and return address in your 
Internet message.
    You may hand-deliver comments to the Bureau of Land Management, 
Administrative Record, Room 401, 1620 L Street, NW., Washington, DC
    BLM will make comments available for public review at the L Street 
address during regular business hours (7:45 a.m. to 4:15 p.m.), Monday 
through Friday.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lee Larson, (202) 452-5168.

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 8370-1 to solicit 
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 the proposed 
collection of 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 the collection of information on those who are to 
respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology. 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.
    Respondents supply identifying information and data on the campsite 
number, date 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 of origin.
    Based on BLM's experience administering the activities described 
above, the public reporting burden for the information collected is 
estimated to average about three minutes per response. The respondents 
are individuals desiring to use the campground. The frequency of 
response is occasionally. The number of

[[Page 71332]]

responses per year is estimated to total 190,000. The estimated total 
annual burden is 9,500 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: November 27, 2000.
Michael Schwartz,
BLM Information Collection Clearance Officer.
