The current OMB inventory for
this collection includes 60,198 burden hours. In this submission,
we are requesting a total of 74,461 burden hours. This represents
an adjustment increase of 14,263 hours. The increase is due to
re-estimating the average number of annual responses and the amount
of time required to respond based on information obtained from the
respondents in A.8. NOTE: While subpart B, 30 CFR 254.30 shows as a
new requirement in ROCIS, it is not. Previous submittals had
subparts A and B combined; this ROCIS submittal now shows the
requirements as two ICs .
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:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
