BSEE is requesting a new OMB Control Number for this rulemaking; however, once this proposed rule becomes effective, we will move all burden into our current OMB control number 1014-0024. The current OMB inventory for 1014-0024 (30 CFR Part 250, subpart B â Plans) information collection includes 44,458 burden hours; although, we are in the middle of the renewal cycle. The renewal cycle package is requesting an adjustment decrease in burden hours of 22,000 for a total hour burden of 22,458. The adjustment decrease is due to receiving half the number of plans BSEE received from the previous cycle. This proposed rulemaking is a complete rewrite of 30 CFR Part 250, subpart B and is requesting a total hour burden of 36,043, a program increase of 13,585 burden hours due to new requirements being added.
BSEE is requesting a total of $5,944,006 in Non-hour costs burdens. Once this proposed rule becomes effective, we will move all non-hour costs to 1014-0024. The current OMB non-hour cost burden inventory for 1014-0024 is $68,381 and due to the renewal cycle is requesting an adjustment decrease of $35,990 for a total of $32,391. The decrease is due to receiving almost half the plans BSEE received from the previous renewal cycle. This proposed rulemaking is adding 13 new non-hour costs burdens as shown in 13(c) of the SS.
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.
