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

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: This is a new collection of information; therefore, represents a program increase of 10 burden hours. Once the requirements of this rulemaking have been codified, BSEE will consolidate these additional burden hours into the primary collection for 30 CFR 250, Subpart A, under OMB Control Number 1014-0022. This ICR includes changes to BSEE’s cost recovery program due to rulemaking. A large portion of the non-hour cost burdens are not new requirements, but the fees have been revised (both increases and decreases). We currently receive $7,366,838 in cost recovery fees (non-hour cost burdens); this rulemaking proposes increasing that total by $8,620,949 for a total program change of $15,987,787. We used the currently approved average number of annual responses where discernible.
