We request OMB approval to make the following adjustments to ICR 1010-0120, which include: (1) Move the citations and burden hours of ICR 1010-0169 into ICR 1010-0120, which will enable program-wide review of all information collections for solid minerals and geothermal resources. This consolidation into one collection will eliminate duplication of effort and redundancy of data.
(2) Move 30 CFR 218.203 (1 burden hour) from ICR 1010-0107 into ICR 1010-0120 because this citation relates to solid minerals.
No new burden hours are being added. All burden hours are already approved.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
