information collection.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before 
June 11, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Send your comments on this information collection request 
(ICR) by mail to the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request additional information 
about this ICR, contact Twinkle Thompson-Seitts by email at 
[email protected], or by telephone at 202-208-7301.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies 
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and 
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact 
of our information collection requirements and minimize the public's 
reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information 
collection requirements and provide the requested data in the desired 
format.
    We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described 
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the 
following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the proper 
functions of the BLM; (2) will this information be processed and used 
in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how 
might the BLM enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (5) how might the BLM minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request 
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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.
    Abstract: This control number consists of one information 
collection activity. In an application form, the BLM seeks to collect 
information to determine education, training, and experience related to 
possible service on advisory committees established under the authority 
of Section 309 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (43 U.S.C. 
1739), the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, and 43 CFR 
Subpart 1784. The BLM refers to such advisory committees as ``Resource 
Advisory Councils'' (RACs). The information that the BLM collects is 
necessary to ensure that each RAC is structured to provide fair 
membership balance, as prescribed by each RAC's charter.
    Title of Collection: Bureau of Land Management Resource Advisory 
Council Application.
