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	11,282	10,373	0	512	397	0

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The current OMB inventory for this collection includes 47,800 burden hours. In this submission, we are requesting a total of 63,561 burden hours. This represents an adjustment increase of 14,097 burden hours. The adjustment increase is due to re-estimating the average number of annual responses and the amount of time required to respond. This also represents a program increase of 1,664 burden hours due to the publication of the Subpart G regulations, Well Operations and Equipment, which added requirements listed under APDs. There are no changes to the current OMB non-hour cost burden for this one requirement (APD application fee), which is $862,104.
