Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: We are requesting a new information collection control number for the sections included in this supporting statement because a final rule, the Excess Spoil, Coal Mine Waste, and Buffers for Perennial and Intermittent Streams rule (the “Excess Spoil final rule”), that we are publishing will result in program changes to the currently approved burden for three sections within Part 780 and we are making a programmatic correction to one other section within that part. We also have a renewal request pending for Part 780. After both the renewal request for Part 780 and this request for a new number for certain sections within Part 780 are approved, we will file a correction notice consolidating the two into one information collection control number for Part 780.
