(OMB)previously approved this information collection activity, and assigned it control number 1004-0012.

For maximum consideration, written comments should be received on or before November 13, 2012. ADDRESSES: Please submit comments directly to the Desk Officer for the Department of the Interior (OMB #1004-0012), Office of Management and Budget, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, fax 202-395-5806, or by electronic mail at *oira_docket@omb.eop.gov.* Please provide a copy of your comments to the BLM.

You may also review the information collection request online at *http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521) and OMB regulations at 5 CFR part 1320 provide 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. In order to obtain and renew an OMB control number, Federal agencies are required to seek public comment on information collection and recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR 1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)). As required at 5 CFR 1320.8(d), the BLM published a 60-day notice in the **Federal Register** on June 13, 2012 (77 FR 35421), and the comment period ended August 13, 2012. The BLM received two comments. Neither comment addressed, or was germane to, this information collection. Therefore, the BLM has not changed the collection in response to either comment. The BLM now requests comments on the following subjects: 1. Whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper functioning of the BLM, including whether the information will have practical utility; 2. The accuracy of the BLM's estimate of the burden of collecting the information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; 3. The quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and 4. How to minimize the information collection burden on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other forms of information technology. Please send comments as directed under ADDRESSES and DATES . Please refer to OMB control number 1004-0012 in your correspondence. 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. 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
(BLM)uses the information collection to decide whether or not to lease or sell certain public lands to applicants under the Recreation and Purposes Act, 43 U.S.C. 869 to 869-4. The Act authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to lease or sell, for recreational or public purposes, certain public lands to State, Territory, county, and local governments; nonprofit corporations; and nonprofit associations. *Frequency of Collection:* Once. *Estimated Number and Description of Respondents Annually:* 21 State, Territory, country and local governments; 1 nonprofit association; and 1 nonprofit corporation. *Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping “Hour” Burden Annually:* 920 hours (40 hours per application). *Estimated Reporting and Recordkeeping “Non-Hour Cost” Burden Annually:* $2,300 ($100 per application). Jean Sonneman, Bureau of Land Management, Information Collection Clearance Officer. [FR Doc. 2012-25177 Filed 10-11-12; 8:45 am]
