Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: Range Improvement Permit The BLM expects fewer applications because the current economy is discouraging projects funded by livestock grazing permittees. Affected Public (Individuals and Households) Because of the current economy, the BLM expects a decrease in the number of responses and burden hours for the Range Improvement applications from livestock operators. Affected Public (State, Local, and Tribal Government) The BLM increase in responses and burdens are based on the interest in range improvement proposals and effects on soil, water and wildlife resources with the resulting increase in coordination and consultation with State, Local and Tribal governments. A reestimate in respondent burden and number of respondents has resulted in a burden reduction for this collection as an adjustment. There was also an increase in the amount of time it takes to complete the applications/permits for this collection. It now takes 2 hours to complete each form. The removal of the IC for the Federal Government (Affected Public)resulted in the programatic elimination of the 27 reponses and 162 burden hours. Section 3502 of the Paperwork Reduction Act, does not require that we include information collected amongst government agencies.
