The current OMB inventory for this collection is 17,353burden hours. In this submission, we are requesting a total of 17,311 burden hours. This represents an adjustment decrease of 52 burden hours due to re-estimating the average number of annual responses (applications) received by BSEE. This also represents a program increase of 10 burden hours for §§ 471(c), 470(f), and 465(a); which were inadvertently overlooked during the 2017 renewal cycle. They were added through final rulemaking, 1082-AA, Requirements for Exploratory Drilling on the Arctic Outer Continental Shelf [81 FR 46561, July 15, 2016].
The current OMB non-hour cost burden for the APM requirements is $6,446,500. In this submission, we are requesting a total of $6,451,500. This represents an adjustment increase of $5,000 due to re-estimating the average number of annual responses (applications) received by BSEE.
