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

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The current OMB inventory for this collection is 9,770 burden hours. In this submission, we are requesting a total of 17,386 burden hours. This represents an adjustment increase of 3,273 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 4,343 burden hours due to the publication of the Subpart G regulations, Well Operations and Equipment, which added requirements listed under APMs. The current OMB non-hour cost burden for the APM requirement is $361,625. In this submission, we are requesting a total of $308,500. This represents an adjustment decrease of $53,125. The decrease is due to receiving less APM applications this past cycle.
