    Title: Color-of-Title Application (43 CFR Subparts 2540 and 2541).

    Abstract: The Bureau of Land Management proposes to extend the

[[Page 61363]]

currently approved collections of information, which enable the agency 
to determine whether or not applicants are qualified to obtain tracts 
of public land due to peaceful, adverse possession in good faith for 
more than 20 years.
    60-Day Notice: On May 21, 2009, the BLM published a 60-day notice 
(74 FR 23879) requesting comments on the proposed information 
collection. The comment period ended on July 20, 2009. One comment was 
received. The comment did not address, and was not germane to, this 
information collection; rather, it was a general invective about the 
Department of the Interior, the BLM, and Washington politicians. 
Therefore, we have no response to the comment.
    Current Action: This proposal is being submitted to extend the 
expiration date of November 30, 2009.
    Type of Review: 3-year extension.
    Affected Public: Individuals, groups, and corporations.
    Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
    Annual Responses: 10.
    Annual Burden Hours: 30.
    A filing fee of $10 is associated with each of these information 
collections. The BLM requests comments on the following subjects:
    1. Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper functioning of the BLM, including whether the information will 
have practical utility;
    2. The accuracy of the BLM's estimate of the burden of collecting 
the information, including the validity of the methodology and 
assumptions used;
    3. The quality, utility and clarity of the information to be 
collected; and
    4. How to minimize the information collection burden on those who 
are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other forms of information technology.
    Please send comments to the addresses listed under ADDRESSES. 
Please refer to OMB control number 1004-0029 in your correspondence. 
Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other 
personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware 
that your entire comment--including your personal identifying 
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can 
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying 
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.

Jean Sonneman,
Acting Information Collection Clearance Officer.
