We may not conduct or sponsor, and you are not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. As part of our continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burdens, we invite the public and other Federal agencies 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. We are 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 that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request to OMB to approve this ICR. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personally identifiable information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personally identifiable information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personally identifiable information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. *Abstract:* OMB Control Number 1004-0019 authorizes the collection of information concerning range improvements to improve livestock grazing management, improve watershed conditions, enhance wildlife habitat on BLM lands, or serve similar purposes. Under 43 CFR 4120.3-1(b), the BLM requires that an operator enter into a Cooperative Range Improvement Agreement, or obtain a Range Improvement Permit, before installing, using, maintaining, and/or modifying a range improvement. The BLM uses Form 4120-6, Cooperative Range Improvement Agreement, to document cooperative range improvement construction arrangements with grazing operators. This OMB Control Number is currently scheduled to expire on August 31, 2026. The BLM plans to request that OMB renew this OMB Control Number for an additional three
(3)years. *Title of Collection:* Grazing Management: Range Improvements Agreements and Permits (43 CFR Subpart 4120). *OMB Control Number:* 1004-0019. *Form Numbers:* 4120-6, Cooperative Range Improvement Agreement; and 4120-7, Range Improvement Permit. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Respondents/Affected Public:* Holders of BLM grazing permits or grazing leases. *Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents:* 530. *Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses:* 530. *Estimated Completion Time per Response:* Varies from 1 to 2 hours per response. *Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours:* 1,060. *Respondent's Obligation:* Required to obtain or retain a benefit. *Frequency of Collection:* On occasion. *Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost:* $0. The authority for this action is the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 *et seq.* ). Darrin A. King, Information Collection Clearance Officer. [FR Doc. 2026-05406 Filed 3-18-26; 8:45 am]
