Permit application requirements in
Sections 507, 508, 510, 515 and 522 of PL 95-87 require the
applicant to submit the operations and reclamation plans for coal
mining activities.
US Code:
30 USC 1201 et seq. Name of Law: The Surface Mining Control and
Reclamation Act of 1977
For this update, we included
information collection required for permit revisions that add
acreage to the permit area but are not incidental boundary
revisions because we believe it more accurately reflects the burden
hours required for applicants and state regulators to comply with
information collection required under 30 CFR Part 780. Because of
this, the number of responses, both applicants and state
regulators, increased under 30 CFR Part 780. In addition, both
applicants and state regulators suggested increases to the burden
estimates for most of the sections where the collection of
information is required. For these reasons, OSMRE is requesting
approval for an additional 63,464 hours and $14,272 in non-wage
costs.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
