AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Information Collection; request for comment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), 
the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) proposes to renew an information 
collection.

DATES: Interested persons are invited to submit comments on or before 
November 17, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for this information 
collection request (ICR) should be sent within 30 days of publication 
of this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this 
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day 
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request additional information 
about this Information Collection Request (ICR), contact Jessica 
Phillips by email at [email protected], or by telephone at (406) 490-

hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or

their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in 
the United States. You may also view the ICR at http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 
et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we invite the public and other Federal 
agencies to comment on new, proposed, revised and continuing 
collections of information. This helps the BLM assess impacts of its 
information collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting 
burden. It also helps the public understand BLM information collection 
requirements and ensure requested data are provided 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 27, 2022 (87 FR 38173). No responsive comments were received.
    As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent 
burdens, we are again inviting the public and other Federal agencies to 
comment on the proposed ICR described below. The BLM is especially 
interested in public comment addressing the following:
    (1) Whether the collection of information is necessary for the 
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
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 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 submitted 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: OMB Control Number 1004-0019 authorizes range 
improvements to improve livestock grazing management, improve watershed 
conditions, enhance wildlife habitat on BLM lands or serve similar 
purposes. There are no program changes requested. The BLM is adjusting 
the burden downward by 580 annual responses and 580 annual burden 
hours. The downward adjustment results from removing the burden for 
individuals and households and for State, Local, and Tribal Governments 
for activities contained in 43 CFR 4120.5-1 and 4120.5-2 and pertaining 
to opportunities for cooperation. The BLM mistakenly included public 
burden for these activities when the activity is performed by the BLM 
and not members of the public. This OMB Control Number is currently 
scheduled to expire on March

additional three years.

    The authority for this action is the PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
