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 
April 5, 2021 (86 FR 17635). No comments were received.
    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 collects the information on the Resource Advisory 
Council Application (Form No. 1120-19) 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) and the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2. This information is necessary 
to ensure that each advisory council is structured to provide fair 
membership balance, both geographic and interest-specific, in terms of 
the functions to be performed and points of view to be represented, as 
prescribed by its charter. OMB's approval for the collection of 
information under this OMB control number is scheduled to expire on 
October 31, 2021. This request is for OMB to renew this OMB control 
number for an additional three (3) years.

Council Application (43 CFR Subpart 1784).

1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
