The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), part of the Interior Department, is seeking public comments on renewing their information collection related to the Color-of-Title Application. The purpose is to verify claims under the Color-of-Title Act, where individuals or entities claim land ownership due to long-term possession and investment in the land. This collection involves filling out specific forms, and the BLM estimates that the annual burden for respondents will be 24 hours in total. Comments can be submitted online and are important for refining the process and minimizing public burden.
Simple Explanation
The Bureau of Land Management wants to ask people if they should keep using forms that help check if someone owns a piece of land by living on it for a long time and making improvements. They need feedback to make the forms better, but people need to know their comments might be shared with everyone.
