SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
regulations at 5 CFR 1320, which implement provisions of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), require that interested members 
of the public and affected agencies have an opportunity to comment on 
information collection and recordkeeping activities [see 5 CFR 
1320.8(d)]. OSM has submitted a request to OMB to renew its approval 
for the collections of information found at 30 CFR part 700--General. 
OSM is requesting a 3-year term of approval for this collection. An 
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to

valid OMB control number. The OMB control number for this collection of 
information is 1029-0094.
    As required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), a Federal Register notice 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
June 22, 2009 (74 FR 29511). No comments were received. This notice 
provides the public with an additional 30 days in which to comment on 
the following information collection activity:
