Short Statement:
We estimate that there will be 324 responses totaling 243 burden hours. This is a net decrease of 563 responses and 423 burden hours from our previous request of 887 responses and 666 burden hours. The difference represents an adjustment in estimated resources and corresponding burden hours based upon our experience in administering this program over the last 3 years. We estimate that there will be no responses from the State, Local or Tribal Government sector. This is a net decrease of 9 responses and 7 burden hours from our previous request. The Minerals Information System database stores data for this canvass as reported by operations. The source of the AMIS data may be directly from operations canvassed for this form (USGS Form 9-4000-A) or, more commonly, from data already reported on canvass forms associated with other USGS information collections. Responses and burden hours associated with AMIS data reported from the latter source should not have been included for this information collection because they were already included as part of their respective information collections and they have been removed to eliminate duplication which also reduces the burden hours.
