SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which implement provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3521, require that interested members of the public and affected agencies be given an opportunity to comment on information collection and recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8
(d)and 1320.12(a)). This notice identifies an information collection that the BLM plans to submit to OMB for approval. The Paperwork Reduction Act provides that an agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Until OMB approves a collection of information, you are not obligated to respond. The BLM will request a 3-year term of approval for this information collection activity. Comments are invited on:
(1)The need for the collection of information for the performance of the functions of the agency;
(2)the accuracy of the agency's burden estimates;
(3)ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and
(4)ways to minimize the information collection burden on respondents, such as use of automated means of collection of the information. A summary of the public comments will accompany our submission of the information collection requests to OMB. The following information is provided for the information collection: *Title:* Application for Land for Recreation or Public Purposes (43 CFR 2740 and 2912). *Forms:* • Form 2740-1, Application for Land for Recreation or Public Purposes. *OMB Control Number:* 1004-0012. *Abstract:* The Bureau of Land Management
