SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3521) and OMB regulations at 5 CFR part 1320 provide 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. In order to obtain and 
renew an OMB control number, Federal agencies are required to seek 
public comment on information collection and recordkeeping activities 
(see 5 CFR 1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)).
    As required in 5 CFR 1320.8(d), the BLM published a 60-day notice 
in the Federal Register on April 9, 2013 (78 FR 21147), and the comment 
period ended June 10, 2013. The BLM received no comments.
    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 1004-0019 in your correspondence. 
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.
    The following information is provided for the information 
collection:
    Title: Grazing Management: (43 CFR part 4120).

     Form 4120-6, Cooperative Range Improvement Agreement; and
     Form 4120-7, Range Improvement Permit.
    OMB Control Number: 1004-0019.
    Summary: This collection pertains to range improvements on public 
lands managed by the BLM. Range improvements enhance or improve 
livestock grazing management, improve watershed conditions, enhance 
wildlife habitat, or serve similar purposes. At times, the BLM may 
require holders of grazing permits or grazing leases to install range 
improvements to meet the terms and conditions of their permits or 
leases. Operators may also come to the BLM with proposals for range 
improvements. Often the BLM, operators, and other interested parties 
work together and jointly contribute to construction of range 
improvements in order to facilitate improved grazing management or 
enhance other multiple uses. Cooperators may include lenders which 
provide the funds that operators contribute for improvements.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
    Estimated Annual Responses: 1,310.
    Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 1,940.
    Estimated Annual Non-hour Costs: None.
