SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995 (PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), 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.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
August 17, 2020 (85 FR 50045). The comment period ended on October 16, 
2020. The BLM received one comment. The comment was not relevant to 
this collection of information.
    As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burdens, we are again soliciting comments from the public and other 
Federal agencies on the proposed ICR that is described below. We are 
especially interested in public comment addressing the following:
    (1) Whether or not the collection of information is necessary for 
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether or not the information will have practical utility;
    (2) The accuracy of our estimate of the burden for this collection 
of information, including the validity of the methodology and 
assumptions used;
    (3) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
    (4) How might the agency minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on those who are to respond, including through the use of 
appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., 
permitting electronic submission of response.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. 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: The BLM is required by the Taylor Grazing Act (43 U.S.C. 
315-315r) and Subchapter IV of the Federal Land Policy and Management 
Act (43 U.S.C. 1751-1753) to manage domestic livestock grazing on 
public lands consistent with land use plans, principles of multiple use 
and sustained yield, and other relevant factors. Compliance with these 
statutory provisions necessitates collection of information on matters 
such as permittee and lessee qualifications for a grazing permit or 
lease, base property used in conjunction with public lands, and the 
actual use of public lands for domestic livestock grazing. Most permits 
and leases are in effect for 10 years and are renewable if the BLM 
determines that the terms and conditions of the expiring permit or 
lease are being met.
    Title of Collection: Authorizing Grazing Use (43 CFR subparts 4110 
and
    OMB Control Number: 1004-0041.
    Form Number: 4130-1, 4130-1a, 4130-1b, 4130-3a, 4130-4, and 4
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Any U.S. citizen or validly licensed 
business may apply for a BLM grazing permit or lease. The BLM 
administers nearly 18,000 permits and leases for grazing domestic 
livestock, at least part of the year on public lands.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 18,010.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 33,810.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from 10 to 35 
minutes, depending on activity.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 7,811.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: The BLM collects the information on Forms 
4130-1, 4130-1a, 4130-1b, and 4130-4 on occasion. The BLM collects the 
information on Forms 4130-3a and 4130-5 annually.
    Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $30,000.
    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 authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
