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 at 5 CFR 1320.8(d), the BLM published a 60-day notice 
in the Federal Register on January 21, 2015 (80 FR 2967). The public 
comment period expired on March 23, 2015. No public comments were 
submitted in response to that notice. The BLM now 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 as directed under ADDRESSES and DATES. Please 
refer to OMB control number 1004-XXXX 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 pertains to this request:
    OMB Control Number: 1004-XXXX.
    Title: Visitor Use Survey for St. Anthony Sand Dunes.
    Abstract: The BLM is proposing to sponsor a visitor use survey for 
the St. Anthony Sand Dunes in the Upper Snake Field Office, Idaho, 
which includes lands designated as a Special Recreation Management Area 
(SRMA), lands designated as a Wilderness Study Area, and lands 
designated as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern. This 
collection of information will enable the BLM to develop a plan for the 
St. Anthony Sand Dunes on subjects such as existing and proposed 
management actions, issuance of Special Recreation Permits, conflicts 
between visitors, and travel management issues. The proposed survey 
will be distributed as a mail-back questionnaire and will be available 
online through a University of Idaho Web site. The collection of 
information will take place during the summer season when visitation 
rates are highest. Data will be analyzed and a final report will be 
developed for the area.

    Respondents' Obligation: Voluntary.
