Title: Mineral Materials Disposal.
OMB Clearance No.: 1004-0103.
Abstract: BLM proposes to extend the currently approved collection
of information for the disposal through sale of mineral materials, such
as sand, gravel, and petrified wood, on public lands. BLM uses the
information that applicants provide to: (1) determine if the sale of
the mineral materials is in the public interest, (2) mitigate any
environmental impacts associated with mineral development, (3) get fair
market value for the material sold, and (4) prevent the trespass
removal of the resource. The collection also includes a sale contract
form, BLM 3600-1.
Bureau Form: 3600-1 (combines forms 3600-4, Contract for Cash Sale
of Mineral Materials, Appraised at Less Than $2,000; and 3600-5,
Contract for the Sale of Units of Materials, Appraised at $2,000 or
More)
Frequency: Once or twice per year.
Description of Respondents: Respondents are operators desiring
sand, gravel, stone, and other mineral materials from lands under BLM
jurisdiction.
Annual Respondents: 2,700.
Annual Responses: 2,800.
Annual Burden Hours: 1,475.
