The Taylor Grazing Act of 1934 (43
U.S.C. 315) and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976
(43 U.S.C. 1701) authorize the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to
administer the livestock grazing program consistent with land use
plans, multiple use objectives, sustained yield, environmental
values, economic considerations, and other factors. Maintaining
accurate records of permittee and lessee qualifications for a
grazing permit or lease, base property used in conjunction with
public lands, and the actual use made by livestock authorized to
graze on the public lands, is an important and integral part of the
program administration and grazing management. The regulations at
43 CFR 4110.1 and 43 CFR 4110.2 require application and notice to
the BLM to transfer grazing preference and to apply for a permit or
lease in conjunction with a preference transfer. The regulations at
43 CFR 4130.1 require existing permittees and lessees to apply to
the BLM for changes in their authorized grazing. The regulations at
43 CFR 4130.3-2(d) allow the BLM to require permittees or lessees
operating under a grazing permit or lease to submit an actual
grazing use report within 15 days after completing their annual
grazing use, or as otherwise specified in the permit or lease. The
regulations at 43 CFR 4130.6-1 allow BLM to enter into
"exchange-of-use" agreements with applicants who own or control
lands that are unfenced and intermingled with public lands within
an allotment. The BLM requires applicants, permittees, and lessees
to submit the required information on Forms 4130-1, 4130-1a,
4130-1b, 4130-3a, 4130-4, and 4130-5. This OMB Control Number is
currently scheduled to expire on April 20, 2024. The BLM request
that OMB renew this OMB Control Number for an additional three (3)
years.
