ICR Summary of Burden

	Total Approved	Previously Approved	Change Due to New Statute	Change Due to Agency Discretion	Change Due to Adjustment in Estimate	Change Due to Potential Violation of the PRA
Annual Number of Responses	510	512	0	-2	0	0
Annual Time Burden (Hours)	897	903	0	-6	0	0
Annual Cost Burden (Dollars)	0	0	0	0	0	0

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: The current OMB inventory for this collection is 903 burden hours. In this submission, we are requesting a total of 897 burden hours. This represents a program change decrease of 6 burden hours; and is due to splitting out the Application for Permits to Drill (APDs) into its own collection (1014-0025)(-4 hours) and removing the General Departure and/or alternative Compliance requests associated with Subpart P into its own collection (1014-0022)(-2 hours). There are no active sulfur leases in operation on the OCS at this time.
