SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
regulations at 5 CFR 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)]. This notice identifies the information collection that OSMRE will 
be submitting to OMB for approval. This collection is contained in 30 
CFR 872, Abandoned Mine Reclamation Funds. OSMRE will request a 3-year 
term of approval for each 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 Part 872 
is 1029-0054 and is codified at 30 CFR 872.10. 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 
accompany OSM's submission of the information collection request 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.

the following information collection activity:
    Title: 30 CFR 872--Abandoned Mine Reclamation Funds.
    OMB Control Number: 1029-0054.
    Summary: 30 CFR 872 establishes a procedure whereby States and 
Indian tribes submit written statements announcing the State/Tribe's 
decision not to submit reclamation plans, and therefore, will not be 
granted AML funds.
    Bureau Form Number: None.
    Frequency of Collection: Once.
    Description of Respondents: State and Tribal abandoned mine land 
reclamation agencies.
    Total Annual Responses: 1.
