SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following information is provided for 
the information collection:
    Title: Permits for Recreation on Public Lands (43 CFR part 2930).
    Forms: Form 2930-1, Special Recreation Permit Application.
    OMB Number: 1004-0119.
    Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved information

    Abstract: This notice pertains to information collections that are 
necessary for the management of recreation on public lands. The BLM is 
required to manage commercial, competitive and organized group 
recreational uses of the public lands, and individual use of special 
areas. This information allows the BLM to collect the required 
information to authorize and collect fees for recreation use on public 
lands. The currently approved information collection consists of the 
collection of non-form information in accordance with 43 CFR part 2930, 
and Form 2930-1 (Special Recreation Permit Application and Permit). We 
are proposing to revise Form 2930-1 to be used only as a Special 
Recreation Permit Application. Responses are required to obtain or 
retain a benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion for all aspects of this 
information collection.
    Annual Burden Hours: 14,776, based on 4 hours per response; 3,694 
responses.
    Annual Non-Hour Burden Cost: There are no processing fees 
associated with this collection.
    60-Day Notice: As required in 5 CFR 1320.8(d), the BLM published 
the 60-day notice in the Federal Register on March 25, 2010 (75 FR 
14458) soliciting comments from the public and other interested 
parties. The comment period closed on May 24, 2010. The BLM received 
one comment. The comment did not address, and was not germane to, this 
information collection; rather, it was a general invective about the 
Department of the Interior and the BLM. Therefore, we have no response 
to the comment.

[[Page 51284]]

    The BLM 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 to the addresses listed under ADDRESSES. 
Please refer to OMB Control Number 1004-0119 in your correspondence. 
Before including your address, phone number, e-mail 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.

Acting Information Collection Clearance Officer.
