Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Differences in this submission include a decrease in the number of respondents (underground coal mines) from 361 to 240 and a decrease in the number of miners from 42,314 miners to 32,869 miners. Responses are up because they are based on the number of SCSR’s which have increased and respondents are down because there are less mines. Hours are up and are directly proportional to the increase in SCSR’s. The costs are down that because of a previous cost for copying mine maps was calculated in a way that resulted in a higher amount than there should have been.
