collection techniques or other forms of

The Mineral Leasing Act of 1920
(MLA) (30 U.S.C. 181 et seq.), gives the
Secretary of the Interior responsibility
for oil and gas leasing on approximately
570 million acres of Federal mineral
estate. The MLA authorizes the
Secretary and the Secretary of
Agriculture to permit lessees,
exploration companies, and
independent exploration operators to
conduct geophysical exploration on or
off leases. The Act of August 7, 1947
(Mineral Leasing Act for Acquired
Lands), authorizes the Secretary of the
Interior to lease lands acquired by the
United States (30 U.S.C. 341–359); and
the Federal Onshore Oil and Gas
Leasing Reform Act of December 22,
1987, authorizes the Secretary of the
Interior to lease National Forest System
(NFS) lands with Forest Service (FS)
consent. On NFS lands, the Secretary of
Agriculture is authorized to regulate all
surface-disturbing activities which take
place on a lease.
43 CFR Group 3150 establishes
procedures for BLM to issue
authorizations to conduct oil and gas
geophysical exploration operations on
public lands. 36 CFR part 228 subpart
E, and 36 CFR 251 subpart A and
subpart B establish procedures for the
FS to authorize geophysical operations
on FS lands.
The BLM and FS need the
information requested on the Notice of
Intent to process applications for
geophysical exploration operations on
public lands and to manage
environmental compliance requirements
in accordance with the laws,
regulations, and land use plans. The
BLM and FS use the information to
determine if operators will conduct
geophysical operations in a manner
consistent with the regulations, local
land use plans, and stipulations. The
BLM and FS need the information
requested on the Notice of Completion
to determine whether rehabilitation of
the lands is satisfactory or whether
additional rehabilitation is necessary.
You may submit the forms in person or
by mail. We need the company name,
address, and telephone number to
identify the person/entity conducting
operations. BLM will assign a Case File
Number to track each specific operation.
We require the legal land description to
determine the location of the involved
public lands. Additional information
that we request includes the type and
size of the proposed activity, location of
the proposed operation, equipment you
plan to use, operating procedures, and
timing of the operation.

Applicants must submit these forms
to allow BLM and FS to determine who
is conducting geophysical operations on
public lands. An interagency BLM/FS
team revised the respective forms to
streamline and improve the process for
both the Federal government and its
customers. Combining the BLM and FS
individual forms into a single BLM/FS
form will ensure consistent management
of the geophysical operations on public
lands and will better serve the public.
The BLM consulted with the FS in
estimating the FS information collection
burdens. The forms are:
1. Notice of Intent and Request for
Authorization to Conduct Geophysical
Exploration Operations (NOI/RFA),
BLM SF 3110–4/FS SF 2800–16; and
2. Notice of Completion of
Geophysical Exploration Operations,
BLM SF 3110–5/FS SF 2800–16a.
Based on experience administering
onshore oil and gas geophysical
exploration operations, BLM and FS
estimate the public reporting burden for
completing the Notice of Intent is one
hour, and for completing the Notice of
Completion is 20 minutes. The
information we require is clearly
outlined on the forms and in the terms
and conditions. The respondents
already maintain the information for
their own recordkeeping purposes and
will need only to transfer or attach it to
the forms. BLM and FS estimate that it
receives approximately 625 Notices of
Intent (600 to BLM and 25 to FS), 625
Notices of Completion, and 3 nonform
data items annually (Alaska only, if off
lease), with a total annual burden of 836
hours. Respondents vary from small
businesses to major corporations.
Any member of the public may
request and obtain, without charge, a
copy of the BLM Form 3110–4/FS Form
2800–16 or BLM Form 3110–5/FS Form
2800–16a by contacting the person
identified under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.
BLM will summarize all responses to
this notice and include them in the
request for OMB approval. All
comments will become a matter of
public record.
