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.
