Short Statement: As of 7/17/06, the final rule for 30 CFR 250 became effective (71 FR 19640 4/17/2006). The rule collection (1010-1065, exp. 3/31/09) consists of burden hours relating to 30 CFR 250 subparts A and D (2,443 total hours). MMS is, therefore, consolidating the burden hours (240) for 30 CFR 250, subpart D, into OMB Control Number 1010-0141 (exp 8/31/08). The remaining 2,203 hours are being consolidated into subpart A, 1010-0114 (exp 10/31/07). After OMB approves the consolidations, MMS will discontinue 1010-0165. Also, rulemaking, 71 FR 40904, July 10, 2006, became effective September 1, 2006. The rulemaking added service fees that offset MMS's costs. With this submission, we are requesting to include these fees into 1010-0141. At the proposed rule stage for the initial cost recovery rule, OMB gave MMS permission to make new fees/fee changes without an OMB 83-I submission. Therefore, these fees are shown as program changes.
