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 for the collection of information 
found at 30 CFR part 702--Exemption for Coal Extraction Incidental to 
the Extraction of Other Minerals. OSMRE is requesting a 3-year term of 
approval for this collection.
    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 1029-0089 and is displayed at 30 CFR 
702.10.
    As required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), a Federal Register notice 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
February 16, 2016 (81 FR 7829). No comments were received. This notice

the following information collection activity:
