Renewal of Approved Information Collection, OMB Control Number 
1004-0119

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: 60-day notice and request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announces its intention to request that 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) renew OMB Control Number 
1004-0119 for the paperwork requirements in 43 CFR part 2930, which 
pertain to permits for recreation on public lands. The BLM is also 
proposing to revise Form 2930-1 (Special Recreation Application and 
Permit) to be used only as Special Recreation Application. OMB approval 
of the new Special Recreation Permit would not be required, since it 
would be completed by the BLM.

DATES: Please submit your comments to the BLM at the address below on 
or before May 24, 2010.

ADDRESSES: You may mail comments to: U.S. Department of the Interior, 
Bureau of Land Management, Mail Stop 401-LS, 1849 C St., NW., 
Washington, DC 20240, Attention: 1004-0119. You may also comment by e-
mail at: [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You may contact Judi Zuckert at 202-
912-7093. Persons who use a telecommunication device for the deaf (TDD) 
may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-
8339, to contact Ms. Zuckert. You may also contact Ms. Zuckert to 
obtain a copy, at no cost, of the regulations and forms that require 
this collection of information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which 
implement provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3521), require that interested members of the public and affected 
agencies be provided an opportunity to comment on information 
collection and recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8(d) and 
1320.12(a)). This notice identifies information collections that are 
contained in 43 CFR part 2930. The BLM will request that the OMB 
approve this information collection activity, as revised with respect 
to Form 2930-1, for a 3-year term.
    At present, Form 2930-1 is both an application and a permit for 
special recreational uses of public lands. We are proposing to revise 
Form 2930-1 to be used only as an application, because certain elements 
of a proposed activity or event in the application may differ from the 
actual terms of the final permit that is issued. Developing a separate 
permit would enable the BLM to clearly describe the permitted activity 
or event.
    The BLM would complete the Special Recreation Permit upon review of 
the information supplied by the respondent on Form 2930-1. The new 
permit would have to be signed by representatives of both the BLM and 
the respondent in order to become effective, but merely signing a form 
does not constitute a burden, as defined by the Paperwork Reduction Act 
at 44 U.S.C. 3502(2). Accordingly, OMB clearance for the new Special 
Recreation Permit is not required.
    Comments are invited on: (1) The need for the collection of 
information for the performance of the functions of the agency; (2) the 
accuracy of the agency's burden estimates; (3) ways to enhance the 
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collection; and (4) 
ways to minimize the information collection burden on respondents, such 
as use of automated means of collection of the information. A summary 
of the public comments will accompany the BLM's submission of the 
information collection requests to OMB.
    The following information is provided for the information 
collection:
    Title: Permits for Recreation on Public Lands (43 CFR part 2930).
    Form: Form 2930-1, Special Recreation Permit Application.
    OMB Control Number: 1004-0119.
    Abstract: This notice pertains to information collections that are 
necessary for the management of recreation on public lands. The 
currently approved information collection consists of the collection of 
nonform information in accordance with 43 CFR part 2930, and Form 2930-
1 (Special Recreation Permit Application and Permit). As discussed 
above, we are proposing to revise Form 2930-1 to be used only as a 
Special Recreation Permit Application.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Currently Approved Number and Description of Respondents: 365,845 
applicants for and holders of permits for recreational use of public

    The PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.) provides that an agency may not 
conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. Until OMB approves a collection of 
information, you are not obligated to respond.
    The BLM will summarize all responses to this notice and include 
them in the request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter 
of public record. Before including your address, phone number, email 
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.
