THE INFORMATION IS USED TO DETERMINE IF LESSEES ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH LEASING REQUIREMENTS, TO SPECIFY LEASE AREAS, AND TO EVALUATE BIDS. RESPONDENTS ARE OCS LESSEES, PROSPECTIVE BIDDERS, STATES AND INTERESTED MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.
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.
