SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which implement provisions of the Paperwork

of the public and affected agencies have an opportunity to comment on 
information collection and recordkeeping activities [see 5 CFR 
1320.8(d)]. This notice identifies an information collection that OSMRE 
will be submitting to OMB for extension. This collection is contained 
in 30 CFR part 773--Requirements for permits and permit processing. 
OSMRE is including in this collection a request for OMB approval to 
collect processing fees for new permits in Federal program states and 
on Indian lands codified in 30 CFR 736.25 and 750.25.
    OSMRE has revised burden estimates, where appropriate, to reflect 
current reporting levels or adjustments based on reestimates of burden 
or respondents. OSMRE will request a 3-year term of approval for the 
information collection activity.
    Comments are invited on: (1) The need for the collection of 
information for the performance of the functions of the agency; (2) the 
accuracy of the agency's burden estimates; (3) ways to enhance the 
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) 
ways to minimize the information collection burden on respondents, such 
as use of automated means of collection of the information. A summary 
of the public comments will be included in OSMRE's submissions of the 
information collection requests to OMB.
    Before including your address, phone number, email address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be 
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying 
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can 
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying 
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.
    Title: 30 CFR part 773--Requirements for Permits and Permit 
Processing.
    OMB Control Number: 1029-0115.

Reclamation Act do not receive surface coal mining permits pending 
resolution of their violations. This collection request includes the
