assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize
the public’s reporting burden. It also
helps the public understand our
information collection requirements and
provide the requested data in the
desired format.
We are especially interested in public
comment addressing the following:
(1) Whether or not the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether or not the
information will have practical utility;
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
Comments that you submit in
response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or

comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Abstract: In 1999, the Senate Interior
Appropriations Subcommittee requested
that the Department of the Interior (we,
DOI), the U.S. Department of
Agriculture—Forest Service (USDA–FS),
and the Smithsonian Institution prepare
a report on fossil resource management
on Federal lands (Sen. Rep. 105–227, at
60 (1998)). The request directed these
entities to analyze the:
• Need for a unified Federal policy
for the collection, storage, and
preservation of fossils.
• Need for standards that would
maximize the availability of fossils for
scientific study.
• Effectiveness of current methods for
storing and preserving fossils collected
from Federal lands.
During the course of preparing the
report, the agencies held a public

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001

meeting to gather public input. The DOI
report to Congress, ‘‘Assessment of
Fossil Management of Federal and
Indian Lands,’’ was published in May
2000. After the report was released, the
Paleontological Resources Preservation
Act (PRPA) was introduced in the 107th
Congress. PRPA was modeled after the
Archaeological Resources Protection Act
(ARPA) and emphasized the
recommendations and guiding
principles in the May 2000 report.
The legislation was reintroduced in
subsequent Congresses through the
111th Congress when it was included as
a subtitle in the Omnibus Public Land
Management Act, which became law on
March 30, 2009. Legislative history
demonstrates that PRPA (16 U.S.C.
470aaa–aaa–11) was enacted to preserve
paleontological resources for current
and future generations because these
resources are nonrenewable and are an
irreplaceable part of America’s heritage.
PRPA requires that implementation be
coordinated between the Secretaries of
the Interior and Agriculture and that
DOI and USDA–FS issue regulations as
appropriate to carry out the law.
Accordingly, DOI and USDA–FS
formed an interagency coordination
team in April 2009 to draft the proposed
regulations. Members of the team
included program leads for
paleontology, archaeology, and
regulatory specialists from the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM), the National
Park Service (NPS), the Bureau of
Reclamation (BOR), the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (USFWS) (the bureaus),
and the USDA–FS.
Information collected under this
control number includes the following:
(1) DI Form 9002, ‘‘Paleontology
Permit Application’’ (43 CFR 49.115)—
Permit applicants proposing to work in
areas administered by the BLM, BOR, or
USFWS must provide the following
information via DI form 9002:
a. Applicant’s name, affiliation, and
contact information.
b. Description of the applicant’s
qualifications, to include a current
resume for the applicant and all other
persons who will oversee fieldwork and
other work, and information on the
applicant’s past performance on
previous permits.
c. Maps and other location
information, and estimated start and
end dates of proposed work.
d. Description, purpose and
methodology of proposed work,
including a detailed scope of work or
research plan for the proposed activity,
logistical information, methods that will
be employed to explore for or remove
the paleontological resources, proposed

content and nature of any collection to
be made under the permit.
e. Information about the proposed
repository.
f. Description of anticipated costs,
including bonding information.
(2) DI Form 9003, ‘‘Paleontology
Permit’’ (43 CFR 49.125(a)).
(3) DI Form 9004, ‘‘Paleontology
Locality Record’’ (43 CFR 49.125(a)(1) &
(6))—Permittee will record locality
information on DI form 9004 or in
another format approved by the bureau
in the permit that captures the same
information.
(4) DI Form 9006, Reports (43 CFR
49.125(a)(14))—Permittees conducting
activities on lands administered by the
BLM, BOR, or USFWS must submit
reports to the bureaus using DI form
9006 as a cover sheet. Under some
permits, one report may be required
summarizing all activities; while other
permits may require multiple reports for
separate activities under the permit. We
use the reports to track and manage the
resources and contribute to scientific
research.
(5) DI Form 9007, Repository Receipt
(43 CFR 49.125(a)(10) & (11))—Permittee
must deposit the collection in the
approved repository named in the
permit by the date specified in the
permit and provide the bureau with DI
form 9007, which includes a
certification by the permittee that the
collection and other associated records
were transferred to the repository and a
certification by the approved
repository’s authorized official that the
collection was received.
(6) Resource damage or theft (43 CFR
49.75(a)(8))—Permittee must report
suspected or apparent resource damage
or theft of paleontological or other
resources to the Federal land manager as
soon as possible, but not to exceed 48
hours, after learning of the suspected or
apparent damage or theft.
(7) List and description of
paleontological resources (43 CFR
49.125(a)(12))—If the permittee has not
transferred the collection to the
approved repository named in the
permit by the date specified in the
permit, the permittee must provide the
Federal land manager a complete list
and description of all paleontological
resources collected and the current
location of the paleontological
resources.
(8) Amendments to permits (43 CFR
49.130(a))—Permittees may request a
modification to a permit. Modification
requests will include permittee name,
permit number, and the reason(s) for the
modification request.
(9) Objecting to a notice of violation
(43 CFR 49.515(a) & (b))—When a

person receives a notice of violation, the
person has 30 days from the date the
notice was received to object by
submitting to the Federal land manager
documentation to support the position
that the person did not commit a
violation or that the proposed penalty
should be reduced or eliminated.
(10) Responding to a civil penalty (43
CFR 49.535(a) & (b))—A person may
request a hearing on the Federal land
manager’s final assessment of a civil
penalty by filing a request for hearing
via registered or certified mail (return
receipt requested or other delivery
method, delivery receipt requested) to
the Departmental Cases Hearings
Division, Office of Hearings and
Appeals, Department of the Interior, at
the address specified in the final
assessment of civil penalty. A copy of
the request must be served on the
Solicitor of the Department of the
Interior at the address specified in the
final assessment of civil penalty. The
request for hearing must include the
following information:
a. The reasons for challenging the
final assessment;
b. The relief sought and the basis for
the relief;
c. A copy of the original notice of civil
violation and proposed civil penalty
assessment;
d. A copy of any objection and
supporting documentation filed under
43 CFR 49.515(a) & (b);
e. A copy of the final assessment of
civil penalty; and
f. A certificate of service
acknowledging service of the request for
hearing with the accompanying
documentation on the Office of the
Solicitor.
Proposed Revisions
With this submission, we propose to
revise the following currently approved
information collections:
(1) DI Form 9002, ‘‘Paleontology
Permit Application’’ (43 CFR 49.115)—
New fields proposed:
a. Provide State or administrative area
(i.e., forest or NPS unit) where proposed
work will occur. This will allow DOI
offices to assign local contacts to assist
applicants and to track work for
administrative accountability.
b. Is the proposed work identified as
hazardous? (Yes/No). For example, work
in caves, with helicopters, or using high
angle rigging or ropes. This will allow
bureau offices to learn if an applicant’s
proposed work might be identified as
hazardous to either the applicant or the
public.
c. RAPTOR account creation. This
field will provide electronic access to
the BLM Recreation and Permit

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001

Tracking & Online Reporting (RAPTOR)
system. The information will be
collected during RAPTOR account
creation and then used to autofill all
forms. This additional burden hours
expended while setting up a RAPTOR
account will be offset by the autofill
feature of the system. Applicants who
are unable to use the RAPTOR system
will continue to use the original DI 9002
format.
(2) DI Form 9004, ‘‘Paleontology
Locality Record’’ (43 CFR 49.125(a)(1) &
(6))—The original DI 9004 form will
remain unchanged, but BLM proposes
an additional format that allows
permittees to report multiple localities
in a single spreadsheet. Applicants
requested the capability for a single
spreadsheet upload which has proven to
expedite data submission for permittees
while also reducing administrative
burden to the bureau.
(3) DI Form 9007, Repository Receipt
(43 CFR 49.125(a)(10) & (11))—We are
not proposing changes to the currently
approved fields on the DI 9007;
however, we plan to update the
instructions to state that permittees may
substitute this form with a copy of the
approved repository’s museum
accession record. This record, provided
by the repository, follows a museum
best practice and industry standard and
so may be submitted in place of DI 9007
in order to reduce duplication of effort.
