The following program changes were made in order to correct errors in the previous request: 1. The activity labeled Lease Reinstatement has been added in order to correct its erroneous omission from the request submitted three years ago. That program change has resulted in five additional responses, five additional burden hours, and $375 additional non-hour costs. 2. The processing fee erroneously attributed to Lease Relinquishment, Termination, and Cancellation has been attributed to Lease Reinstatement. This correction has resulted in a reduction of $750 in non-hour cost burdens for the "Relinquishment" activity. The following upward adjustments have been made in the non-hour cost burden as a result of updates of processing and filing fees in accordance with 43 CFR 3000.12, 3203.12, 3210.12, and 3211.10: • The estimated fee for a Nomination of Lands for Competitive Geothermal Leasing has increased from $385 ($105 plus $0.11 per acre, for an average of 2,800 acres) to $418 ($110 plus $0.11 per acre) per response. The cumulative increase for 80 responses per year is from $30,800 to $33.440 (a difference of 2,640 annually). • The fee for Noncompetitive Leasing Other Than Direct Use Leases has increased from $375 to $400 per response. The cumulative increase for 50 responses per year is from $18,750 to $20,000 (a difference of $1,250 annually). • The fee for Lease Consolidation has increased from $415 to $440 per response. The cumulative increase for 50 responses per year is from $20,750 to $22,000 (a difference of $1,250 annually). • The fee for Site License Application has increased from $55 to $60 per response. The cumulative increase for 10 responses per year is from $550 to $600 (a difference of $50 annually). • The fee for Relinquishment, Assignment, or Transfer of a Site License has increased from $55 to $60 per response. The cumulative increase for 22 responses per year is from $1,210 to $1320 (a difference of $110 annually).
