Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announces its intention to request that 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) renew its approval to collect 
information from private landowners in western Oregon who are 
authorized to transport timber over BLM-controlled roads. This 
information collection activity was previously approved by the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB), and assigned control number 1004-0168.

DATES: Please submit your comments to the BLM at the address below on 
or before August 16, 2010.

ADDRESSES: You may mail comments to: U.S. Department of the Interior,

to Jean Sonneman by fax at 202-912-7102, or by e-mail at: [email protected], Attention: 1004-0168.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: You may contact Sarah Bickford, O&C 
Road Rights-of-Way Realty Specialist, at 541-471-6694. 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. 
Bickford. You may also contact Ms. Bickford to obtain a copy, at no 
cost, of the regulations and the form pertaining to 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 subpart 2812. The BLM will request that the OMB 
approve this information collection activity for a 3-year term.
    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: Tramroads and Logging Roads (43 CFR part 2810).
    Form: Form OR 2812-6, Report of Road Use.
    OMB Control Number: 1004-0168.
    Summary: This collection of information pertains to rights-of-way 
on public lands that were returned to the United States after being 
conveyed for construction of the Oregon & California Railroad. On these 
lands in western Oregon, the BLM Oregon State Office has authority 
under the Act of August 28, 1937 (43 U.S.C. 1181a and 1181b) and 
Subchapter V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (43 U.S.C. 
1761-1771) to grant rights-of-way to private landowners to transport 
their timber over BLM-controlled roads. Each right-of-way permit issued 
under these two authorities requires the permittee to provide the BLM 
with a certified statement disclosing the amount of timber removed, the 
lands from which the timber was removed, and the BLM roads used to 
transport the timber. Permittees must submit this information on a 
quarterly basis using Form OR 2812-6, Report of Road Use.
    The BLM uses this information to calculate road use fees, as 
authorized at Section 502 the Federal Land Policy and Management Act 
(43 U.S.C. 1762). If we did not require the collection of information, 
it would not be possible to monitor compliance with the terms and 
conditions of the permits described above, and road costs would not be 
collected in a timely manner.
    Frequency of Collection: Quarterly.
    Estimated Number and Description of Respondents: Approximately 68 
holders of rights-of-way for use of BLM-controlled roads in western 
Oregon.
    Currently Approved Reporting and Recordkeeping ``Hour'' Burden: The 
currently approved annual reporting burden is 272 responses and 2,176 
hours.
    Currently Approved Reporting and Recordkeeping ``Non-Hour Cost'' 
Burden: $0.
    The Paperwork Reduction Act (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, 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.
