new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of information. This 
helps us assess the impact of our information collection requirements

understand our information collection requirements and provide the 
requested data in the desired format.

following:

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.

    Abstract: The BLM plans to request that OMB reinstate with changes 
OMB Control Number 1004-0182 which was inadvertently allowed to expire 
in September 2004. The BLM collects certain information from Alaska 
Natives interested in reindeer grazing activities on public lands that 
BLM administers in the State of Alaska. This information allows BLM to 
determine the compatibility of reindeer grazing on public lands with 
resource management guidelines developed in land use plans and 
multiple-use objectives described in 43 CFR part 4300.
    The changes to this OMB Control Number from when it was last active 
in 2004 include discontinuing the form AK 4132-1-1, Reindeer Permit 
Application, as it was determined that the form lacks utility, and the 
BLM will also request to include the following information collections 
that are contained in the 43 CFR 4300 but were not previously accounted 
for under this OMB Control Number:
     Reindeer Grazing Permit Annual Report (43 CFR 4300.45);
     Assign permit to another party (43 CFR 4300.59 and 
4300.60); and
     Permit to cross reindeer over public lands (43 CFR 
4300.80).
    This request is for OMB to reinstate with the above changes OMB 
Control Number 1004-0182.
    Title of Collection: Alaska Reindeer Grazing Requirements (43 CFR 
4300).
    OMB Control Number: 1004-0182.
    Form Numbers: AK 4201-1, Grazing Lease or Permit Application (OMB 
No. 1004-0182) and Form 4120-7, Application for Range Improvement 
Permit (OMB No. 1004-0019).
    Type of Review: Reinstatement with change of a previously approved 
collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: Alaska Natives interested in reindeer 
grazing activities on public lands that BLM administers in the State of 
Alaska.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 6.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 8.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: Varies from 1 hour to 30 
minutes depending on activity.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 11.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion and annual.
    Total Estimated Annual Non-hour Burden Cost: $12.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor and, notwithstanding any other 
provision of law, 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.).
