Short Statement: Several program changes are due to our efforts to improve the precision of our submission. The following information collection requirements were erroneously omitted from the previous submission, but are included here: Notice of State Demand Against Financial Guarantee (43 CFR 3809.573); Request for BLM Acceptance of Replacement Financial Instrument (43 CFR 3809.581); Request for Reduction in Financial Guarantee and / or BLM Approval of Adequacy of Reclamation (43 CFR 3809.590); Response to Notice of Forfeiture of Financial Guarantee (43 CFR 3809.596); Appeal to the State Director (43 CFR 3809.800); and Federal / State Agreements (43 CFR 3809.200). The previously approved number of responses was 1,369. In this submission, we are requesting approval for 1,495 responses. The net increase of 126 responses is due to adjustments in our burden estimates, and due to the program changes discussed above. The total estimated hour burden for this submission is 183,808 hours, compared to 166,661 hours for the previous submission. The net increase of 17,147 hours is due to adjustments in our burden estimates and due to the program changes described above. The total estimated non-hour cost burden for this submission is $4,780, compared to $5,600 for the previous submission. The net decrease of $820 is due to an adjustment in the estimated costs of notarizing Forms 3809-2 and Form 3809-4a. This adjustment is due to a net decrease (41) in the number of responses, multiplied by an estimated cost of $20 per notarization.
