This information collection pertains to onshore geophysical exploration on Federal lands. Federal land-management agencies are responsible for regulating geophysical exploration on the Federal surface estate. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) regulates exploration for oil and gas on lands it manages, and on occasion regulates such exploration on lands managed by other Federal land-management agencies. The U.S. Forest Service (FS or Forest Service) regulates exploration for various types of minerals, including oil and gas, on lands it manages. This request is for OMB to renew this OMB control number for an additional three years.

These adjustments are due to the BLM’s and the FS’ recent experience with this control number from this industry driven activity.
