(1)The current OMB inventory is
47,021 burden hours for this collection of information. This
submission requests 62,963 burden hours. This represents: (a) a
program decrease of 1 hour. This submittal removes an IC
requirement that was inadvertently included in this collection. The
requirement pertains to the Pacific Region's Emergency Action Plans
that are submitted to local air quality agencies. This requirement
is now included in the IC for 30 CFR 550, subpart C (§ 550.304);
and (b) an adjustment increase of 15,942 hours. The program
increase is due to re-estimating the average annual responses and
the amount of time required to respond based on consultations. (2)
The current OMB non-hour cost burden inventory is $482,309. This
submission requests $343,794. This represents an adjustment
decrease of $138,515. The decrease is due to re-estimating the
average number of annual responses multiplied by the associated
non-hour cost burden.
