Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: (a) The current OMB inventory is 62,963 burden hours for this collection of information. This submission requests 92,341 burden hours. This represents: (1) a program increase of 160 hours for a regulatory requirement in Submittals/Requests (see table in item 12) that was overlooked and not included in our previous submission. (2) an adjustment increase of 29,218 hours. The program increase is due to re-estimating the average annual responses and the amount of time required to respond based on consultations. (b) The current OMB non-hour cost burden inventory is $343,794. Between the last ICR submitted to OMB and this submittal, the cost recovery fees under 30 CFR 250.125 increased based on rulemaking, 78 FR 60213 (October 1, 2013). In this submission, we are requesting a total of $323,481, which is a net decrease program change of $20,313 based on not receiving as many production safety system applications, that have fees associated with them, as in the past submission.
