SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 6, 2006, the BLM published a notice

following:
    (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper functioning of the agency, including whether the information 
will have practical utility;
    (b) The accuracy of our estimates of the information collection 
burden, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions we 
use;

information collected; and
    (d) Ways to minimize the information collection burden 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.
    Title: Free Use Application and Permit (Vegetative or Mineral 
Materials) (43 CFR parts 3620 and 5510).
    OMB Control Number: 1004-0001.
    Abstract: The BLM uses Form 5510-1, Free Use Application and Permit 
(Vegetative or Mineral Material), under 43 CFR part 5510 to collect 
this information. The PL-167, Surface Resources Act of July 23, 1955, 
gives the Secretary the discretion to permit the free use of vegetative 
or mineral materials for use other than commercial or industrial 
purposes or resale. The Secretary of the Interior may also permit 
mining claimants the free use of vegetative or mineral materials.
    BLM uses the information provided by the applicant(s) to:
    (1) Maintain an inventory of vegetative and mineral information; 
and
    (2) Adjudicate your rights to vegetative and mineral resources.
    An applicant must file an application for a permit before removing 
any vegetative or mineral resources from the public lands.
    Burden Estimate Per Form: We estimate it takes 5 minutes to 
complete Form 5510-1. Individuals (residents of states) submit the form 
on occasion to the BLM.
    Annual Responses: 476.
    Application Fee Per Response: 0.
    Annual Burden Hours: 40.

    Dated: January 11, 2007.
Ted R. Hudson,
Bureau of Land Management, Acting Division Chief Regulatory Affairs.
