BLM Seeks 3-Year Renewal
The Bureau of Land Management is asking OMB to renew OMB Control Number 1004-0119 for three years so it can keep collecting information for special recreation permits on public lands. The current control number is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2026, and the agency is accepting public comments through May 28, 2026.
Time Burden for Permit Applicants
If you apply for a special recreation permit from the BLM, the agency estimates 1,400 applicants per year, each application takes about 4 hours to complete, totaling 5,600 burden hours annually. The collection is required to obtain or retain the permit benefit.
No Non-Hour Financial Costs
The BLM states there are no estimated annual non-hour (out-of-pocket) costs associated with this information collection. That means the agency does not estimate any filing fees or other monetary costs tied to the application.
