SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which 
implement provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 
104-13), require that interested members of the public and affected 
agencies have an opportunity to comment on information collection and 
recordkeeping activities [see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)]. OSMRE has submitted the 
request to OMB to renew its approval for the collection of information 
found at 30 CFR part 882. OSMRE is requesting a 3-year term of approval 
for this information collection activity.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this 
collection of information is 1029-0057, and may be found in OSMRE's 
regulations at 30 CFR 882.10.
    As required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), a Federal Register notice 
soliciting comments on this collection was published on December 22, 
2015 (80 FR 79611). No comments were received. This notice provides the 
public with an additional 30 days in which to comment on the following 
information collection activity:
    Title: 30 CFR part 882--Reclamation on Private Land.
    OMB Control Number: 1029-0057.
    Summary: Public Law 95-87 authorizes Federal, State, and Tribal 
governments to reclaim private lands and allows for the establishment 
of procedures for the recovery of the cost of reclamation activities on 
privately owned lands. These procedures are intended to ensure that 
governments have sufficient capability to file liens so that certain 
landowners will not receive a windfall from reclamation.
    Bureau Form Number: None.
    Frequency of Collection: Once.
    Description of Respondents: State governments and Indian tribes.
    Total Annual Responses: 1.
    Total Annual Burden Hours: 120.
    Obligation to Respond: Required in order to obtain or retain 
benefits.
    Send comments on the need for the collection of information for the 
performance of the functions of the agency; the accuracy of the 
agency's burden estimates; ways to enhance the quality, utility and 
clarity of the information collection; and ways to minimize the 
information collection burden on respondents, such as use of automated 
means of collection of the information, to the places listed in 
ADDRESSES. Please refer to control number 1029-0057 in all 
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.

    Dated: March 3, 2016.
