SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which 
implement provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 
104-13), require that interested members of the public and affected 
agencies have an opportunity to comment on information collection and 
recordkeeping activities [see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)]. OSMRE has submitted a 
request to OMB to renew its approval of the collection of information 
contained in 30 CFR part 795--Permanent Regulatory Program--Small 
Operator Assistance Program. OSMRE is requesting a 3-year term of 
approval for the information collection activity.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this 
collection of information is 1029-0061. Responses are required to 
obtain a benefit.
    As required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), a Federal Register notice 
soliciting comments on these collections of information was published 
on March 17, 2015 (80 FR 13887). No comments were received. This notice 
provides the public with an additional 30 days in which to comment on 
the following information collection activities:
    Title: 30 CFR part 795--Permanent Regulatory Program--Small 
Operator Assistance Program.
    OMB Control Number: 1029-0061.
    Summary: This information collection requirement is needed to 
provide assistance to qualified small mine operators under section 
507(c) of P.L. 95-87. The information requested will provide the 
regulatory authority with data to determine the eligibility of the 
applicant and the capability and expertise of laboratories to perform 
required tasks.
    Bureau Form Number: N/A.
    Frequency of Collection: Once per application.
    Description of Respondents: Small operators, laboratories, and

performance of the functions of the agency; the accuracy of the
