The current OMB-approved information collection burden for 30 CFR 816/817 is 1,963,782 hours. We are now requesting 1,732,496 burden hours for these sections, a decrease of 231,286 hours. This is generally a result of an overall reduction in the number of permits annually. The currently approved non-wage cost burden for 30 CFR 816/817 is $8,662,409. We are now requesting approval for $26,787,506, an increase of $18,125,097. This significant increase is primarily due to the cost to process water quality samples. For example, in 2014, the average sample collection cost $50. In 2016, the average sample collection cost, as reported by industry was $253. Therefore, we have revised the non-wage estimate to $20,235,952, an increase of $15,809,552.
