Short Statement: The current OMB inventory for this collection includes 60,198 burden hours. In this submission, we are requesting a total of 74,461 burden hours. This represents an adjustment increase of 14,263 hours. The increase is due to re-estimating the average number of annual responses and the amount of time required to respond based on information obtained from the respondents in A.8. NOTE: While subpart B, 30 CFR 254.30 shows as a new requirement in ROCIS, it is not. Previous submittals had subparts A and B combined; this ROCIS submittal now shows the requirements as two ICs .
