In accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act and 5 CFR 1320, this information
collection request is approved for use through February 1995.
Section 403(c) of SMCRA required standardized procedures for th AML
National Inventory program, and OSM has enlarged this collection.
However, OSM should continue to evaluate opportunities to reduce
the burden and complexity of the supplemental forms and the
cost/unit information. Also, OSM should reduce duplicative data
elements, especially in the general information section.
