In accordance with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved for three years. Since this is a new collection, when the Agency submits a request for renewal, it must include evidence of consultation with respondents to ensure the supporting statement's accuracy on availability of data, frequency of collection, clarity of instructions, accuracy of burden estimate, relevance of data elements, and similar PRA matters. Regarding non-form collections in particular and the ICR package as a whole, the Agency is required and reminded to provide (1) a description of the regulatory text applicable to the ICR including submission specifications; (2) a clear description of the data elements being collected under the ICR; (3) where appropriate, screenshots of the electronic portal where the reporting requirements are submitted to DOI (with the control number and burden statement); (4) a detailed discussion of how information is submitted and the extent to which electronic reporting is available; (5) evidence of consultation with respondents (by actively reaching out to stakeholders as permitted by the PRA) to ensure the supporting statement's accuracy on availability of data, frequency of collection, clarity of instructions, accuracy of burden estimate, relevance of data elements, and similar PRA matters; and (6) discussion of how DOI addressed substantive concerns raised by respondents and other stakeholders during consultation and in response to comments received on FR notices. Lastly, upon renewal of this ICR, BLM should during their consultations, seek information and data on the "Estimated Hourly Cost for Respondents" including whether or not BLM is correctly accounting for the professions that would be burdened by this collection. Furthermore, BLM should during their consultations, seek information and data on the "Total Annual Non-Hour Cost Burden" including whether or not BLM is correctly accounting for the total annual non-hour cost burden that the public would have to meaningfully submit recommendations to BLM for a special evaluation and recommendation of special areas.
