Short Statement: There is no program change for this information collection, but there is an adjustment decrease of 659 hours and an increase of 7,400 hours for a net increase of 6,741 hours. The State of Louisiana and the Jicarilla Apache Nation did not renew their cooperative agreements, which decreased the number of submissions and the hour burden. Based on comments from New Mexico (see question 8 of supporting statement), ONRR reinterpretated 30 CFR 1227.200(c) to include an increase in burden hours.
