SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction 
Act of 1995, we provide the general public and other Federal agencies 
with an opportunity to comment on new, proposed, revised, and 
continuing collections of information. This helps us assess the impact

reporting burden. It also helps the public understand our information

format.
    A Federal Register notice with a 60-day public comment period 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
July 3, 2018 (83 FR 31173). No comments were received.
    We are again soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is 
described below. We are especially interested in public comment 
addressing the following issues: (1) Is the collection necessary to the 
proper functions of OSMRE; (2) is the estimate of burden accurate; (3) 
how might OSMRE enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (4) how might OSMRE minimize the 
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use 
of information technology.
    Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of 
public record. 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 of Collection: 30 CFR 874.16--Contractor Eligibility and the 
Abandoned Mine Land Contractor Information Form.
    OMB Control Number: 1029-0119.
    Abstract: 30 CFR 874.16 requires that every successful bidder for 
an AML contract must be eligible under 30 CFR 773.15(b)(1) at the time 
of contract award to receive a permit or conditional permit to conduct 
surface coal mining operations. Further, the regulation requires the 
eligibility to be confirmed by OSMRE's automated Applicant/Violator 
System (AVS) and the contractor must be eligible under the regulations 
implementing Section 510(c) of the Surface Mining Control and 
Reclamation Act to receive permits to conduct mining operations. This 
form provides a tool for OSMRE and the States/Indian tribes to help 
them prevent persons with outstanding violations from conducting 
further mining or AML reclamation activities in the State.
    Form Number: AML Contractor Information Form (No form number).
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Respondents/Affected Public: AML contract applicants and State and 
Tribal regulatory authorities.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 160 contract 
applicants and 13 State and Tribal regulatory authorities.
    Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 173 responses.
    Estimated Completion Time per Response: An average of 30 minutes 
per applicant, and 1 hour per regulatory authority.

[[Page 45977]]

    Total Estimated Number of Annual Burden Hours: 91 hours.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
    Frequency of Collection: Once.
    Total Estimated Annual Nonhour Burden Cost: $0.
    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.
    Authority: The authorities for this action are the Surface Mining 
Control and Reclamation Act of 1977, as amended (30 U.S.C. 1201 et 
seq.), and the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq.).
