Short Statement: As of 10/14/2008, final rulemaking for 30 CFR 256 became effective (73 FR 52917, 9/12/2008). The rule collection (1010-0174, exp. 9/30/2011) consists of burden hours relating to 30 CFR 256 (45 total hours). The MMS is, therefore, consolidating the burden hours into OMB Control Number 1010-0006 (exp 5/31/2010). After OMB approves the consolidation, MMS will discontinue 1010-1074.
