Short Statement: The current OMB inventory includes 1,264 annual burden hours for the collection of information in 30 CFR 581. This submission is requesting a decrease of 280 hours from those burden hours. Due to solicitor review, burdens from two provisions in subpart B—Leasing Procedures were removed because the information is exempt as defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(h)(4). These provisions are: • 30 CFR 581.12, submit response to Call for Information and Interest on areas for leasing of minerals in accordance with approved lease program (120 annual burden hours); and • 30 CFR 581.16, submit suggestions and relevant information in response to request for comments on the proposed leasing notice (160 annual burden hours).
