Short Statement:
The changes in burden of Form 40-F relate to new disclosure requirements about mine safety matters. These disclosure requirements implement Section 1503 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which requires disclosure of specified mine safety and health violations, orders and citations and related matters in periodic reports. The change in burden for Form 40-F corresponds to the new disclosure requirements. We estimate the new rules will result in an increase of 150 annual burden hours and an increase in the cost burden of $180,000 for services of outside professionals.
Annual Cost to Federal Government:
$25,000
