(a) The current OMB inventory
is 62,963 burden hours for this collection of information. This
submission requests 92,341 burden hours. This represents: (1) a
program increase of 160 hours for a regulatory requirement in
Submittals/Requests (see table in item 12) that was overlooked and
not included in our previous submission. (2) an adjustment increase
of 29,218 hours. The program increase is due to re-estimating the
average annual responses and the amount of time required to respond
based on consultations. (b) The current OMB non-hour cost burden
inventory is $343,794. Between the last ICR submitted to OMB and
this submittal, the cost recovery fees under 30 CFR 250.125
increased based on rulemaking, 78 FR 60213 (October 1, 2013). In
this submission, we are requesting a total of $323,481, which is a
net decrease program change of $20,313 based on not receiving as
many production safety system applications, that have fees
associated with them, as in the past submission.
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).
