Title: 30 CFR 783 - UNDERGROUND MINING PERMIT APPLICATIONS MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS FOR INFORMATION ON ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES
Type of Information Collection: Revision of a currently approved collection	Common Form ICR:  No
Type of Review Request: Regular
OIRA Conclusion Action: Approved without change	Conclusion Date: 07/10/1990
	Date Received in OIRA: 06/25/1990
Terms of Clearance: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act and 5 CFR 1320, this information collection is approved through January 31, 1992. Regulations governing Underground Mining Permit Applications (30 CFR 783) are almost entirely duplicative of regulatory requirements for Surface Mining Permit Application (30 CFR 779, OMB approval number 1029-0035). Consequently, permit applications may effectively be burdened unnecessarily by the need to read and understand two sets of instruction when one set would perhaps suffice. Prior to resubmit ting this collection for OMB review, the agency should analyze the potential amount of burden reduction and cost savings associated with consolidation of these sections of CFR. If appropriate, the agency should initiate appropriate regulatory changes. In addition, OSMRE should provide OMB with the names and phone numbers of industry representatives and/or trade associations contacted by the agency as part of this study.
