Short Statement: This submission represents a net increase of 11,864 hours from the currently approved collection burden for 30 CFR Parts 779/783, increasing the burden for those parts from 162,766 hours to 174,630 hours. There continues to be a steady decrease in the number of new permit applications received and processed each year. However, we are now including permits with significant revisions in our number of respondents for Parts 777 & 783. We are doing so because significant revisions (those revisions that add acreage but are not incidental boundary revisions) often require nearly the same amount of operator preparation and regulatory authority review as a new permit.
