This is not a Violation-it is a
Reinstatement w/o change.The previous OMB inventory included 1,248
annual burden hours for the IC in 30 CFR 281.Since this is a
reinstate-ment, this IC represents a program change.As there are no
active respondents, the hour burden estimates were verified by
in-house experts who previously worked in private industry doing
similar functions.We have one non-hour cost burden of $50 for
respon-dents to file an application under § 281.41.Since non-hour
cost burdens were not subject to the 1980 Paperwork Reduction Act,
this burden was not included in the previously approved IC, and it
represents a program change of $50 for this requirement.
