Short Statement: This request includes two program changes. At present, the BLM is authorized to use two forms under this control number – a combined application and permit for vegetative material and a combined application and permit for mineral material. In this request, the BLM seeks approval to use three forms: one combined application and permit for vegetative materials (Form 5510-1), and two different forms – an application and a separate permit -- for mineral material (Form 3604-1a and Form 3604-1b). For mineral material, the BLM will use the information from the application to fill out the permit form for mineral materials. Separate forms will facilitate this procedure and may increase the efficiency of processing applications for free use of mineral material . The other program change is that the collection activities for private-sector responses regarding vegetative material have been combined into one collection activity.. This request also includes adjustments of the estimated number of responses annually (from 410 to 403), and the estimated number of burden hours (from 246 to 241). These adjustments reflect the BLM’s recent experience with this collection.
