    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.

public record. Before including your address, phone number, email 
address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you

identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we 
will be able to do so.
