Short Statement:
The following program changes and adjustements are discussed in more detail under Item # 15 of Supporting Statement A. Program Changes We have added requirements, processing fees, and Federal Register publication costs because they were erroneously omitted from the previous information collection request. We have deleted three following requirements for oil and gas geophysical exploration in Alaska, because they are approved under OMB Control No. 1004-0162, Onshore Oil and Gas Geophysical Exploration (43 CFR Part 3150 and 36 CFR Parts 228 and 251), and including them under this control number would be duplicative. Adjustments We have made a downward adjustment in the estimated time burden for the activity titled, "Ad hoc acreage statement (43 CFR 3101.2-6) in light of our consultations with respondents. We have made a downward adjustment in the number of responses for the activity titled, "Class I reinstatement petition (43 CFR 3108.2-2)" to reflect the BLM's recent experience with that activity. We have made an upward adjustment in the time burden for the activity titled, "Class I reinstatement petition (43 CFR 3108.2-2)" in light of our consultations with respondents.
