SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, the BLM provides the general public and other Federal 
agencies with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised and 
continuing collections of information. This helps to assess the impact 
of the BLM's information collection requirements and minimize the 
public's reporting burden. It also helps the public understand the 
BLM's information collection requirements and provides the requested 
data in the desired format. A Federal Register notice with a 60-day 
public comment period soliciting comments on this collection of 
information was published on June 11, 2019 (84 FR 27155). No comments 
were received.
    We are again soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is 
described below. The BLM is 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. The BLM 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 in your comment to the BLM to 
withhold your personal identifying information from public review, the 
BLM cannot guarantee that it will be able to do so.
    The following information pertains to this request:
