Abstract:
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) requests revision of control number 1004-0114 to add proposed Form 38304, Affidavit of Annual Assessment Work to the collection activity titled, "Annual FLPMA Docuemtns." The proposed form would be part of a currently approved collection, and would not change the requirements or the estimated burdens. However, we have adjusted the burdens associated with Annual FLPMA Documents in light of recent data -- the estimated number of responses annually have increased, and therefore the estimated number of hours have increased. The per-response hour burden (30 minutes) has not changed.

Short Statement:
The filing of Annual FLPMA Documents is currently approved under control number 1004-0114. The proposed form would be a program change that would assist eligible claimants in documenting their annual assessment work. This program change does not result in a burden increase or decrease. We have adjusted the number of estimated annual responses for Annual FLPMA Documents upward (from 5,854 to 6,316) in light of recent data. This adjustment has resulted in an increase in the annual estimated annual hour burden (from 2,927 to 3,158 hours). The per-response time of 30 minutes remains the same.
