Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: Overall, there are 1,142 fewer responses and 19,912 fewer hour burdens due to a program change and several adjustments. The estimated non-hour burdens are increased by $317,270 due to changes in fixed document processing fees and changes in estimated numbers of responses. There is one program change. We have removed the activity labeled, “43 CFR Part 3480, Subpart 3485, Production Report / Licensees” because it duplicates an activity authorized by control number 1012-0008, which is administered by the Office of Natural Resource Revenue: This program change has resulted in 8 fewer responses and 20 fewer hours for this control number. The adjustments are due to the BLM’s recent experience with this collection of information. One adjustment was at the BLM's discretion and not solely due to changes in responses. That adjustment was the increase of the document processing fee for an Application for an Exploration License from $315 per response to $334 per response, in accordance with 43 CFR 3000.11 and 3000.12.
