The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), under the Interior Department, is seeking public comments on the renewal of an information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This collection is linked to applications for leasing or selling public lands for recreation or public purposes, with an extension request to renew OMB Control Number 1004-0012. The BLM invites comments on several aspects, such as the necessity of the information collected and the estimated burden it imposes, by January 17, 2025. The proposed information collection is crucial for assessing applications from state and local governments, as well as nonprofit organizations, and is estimated to involve 920 burden hours annually.
Simple Explanation
The BLM, which takes care of public lands, wants to keep a way to collect information from people who want to use land for parks or other community things. They are asking if people think it's too much work or if the information is still important.
