In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (âPRAâ), ONRR is proposing to renew an information collection. Through this Information Collection Request (âICRâ), ONRR seeks renewed authority to collect information necessary to report production, sales, and royalties owed related to coal, other solid minerals, and geothermal resources produced from Federal and Indian lands. ONRR uses forms ONRR-4292 (Coal Washing Allowance Report); ONRR-4293 (Coal Transportation Allowance Report); ONRR-4430 (Solid Minerals Production and Royalty Report); and ONRR-4440 (Solid Minerals Sales Summary) as part of these information collection requirements.
Based on the average burden hours and responses for the last three years, there is a decrease of 1,081 in estimated annual responses and a decrease of 504 in estimated annual burden hours.
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:

(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);

(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
