Agency Information Collection Activities; Application for Land for Recreation or Public Purposes
The BLM is interested in public comment addressing the following:
(1) whether collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including if the information will have practical utility;
(2) determination of the accuracy of the BLM's estimate of the burden for collection of information, including validity of methodology and assumptions used;
(3) methods to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of information to be collected; and
(4) how the agency can minimize the burden of information collection on those who respond, including use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
