Short Statement: This information collection request will increase the burden approved for this Part by 3,082 hours and $9,320 due to adjustments in the estimated number of responses prepared each year. After discussions with State regulatory authorities OSMRE realizes that States prepare written notices in all instances where AML projects are conducted on private lands, and prepare an average of 5 notices per project, not one. Prior information collection requests calculated responses only when landowners denied access to regulatory authorities to enter their property to conduct AML activities.
