supplementary information: In accordance with 5 CFR 1320.12(a), BLM is
required to provide 60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning a
collection of information contained in BLM Form 1370-36. BLM will
receive and analyze any comments sent in response to this notice and
include them with its request for approval from the OMB under 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq. We specifically request your comments on: (a) Whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of collecting the information,
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of collecting the
information, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Respondents supply identifying information and data on the campsite
number, data camping, number in party, ZIP Code, fee paid, vehicle
license number, and primary purpose of visit. This information allows
the BLM to determine if all users have paid the required fee, the
number of users, and their State or origin.
Based on BLM's experience administering the activities described
above, the public reporting burden for the information collected is
estimated to average about 3 minutes per response. The respondents are
individuals desiring to use the campground. The frequency of response
is occasionally. The number of responses per year is estimated to total
108,000. The estimated total annual burden on new respondents is about
5,400 hours. BLM is specifically requesting your comments on its
estimate of the amount of time that it takes to prepare a response.
BLM will summarize all responses to this notice and include them in
the request for Office of Management and Budget approval. All comments
will also become a matter of public record.
Dated: June 18, 1998.

Bureau of Land Management Clearance Officer.
