Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) is 
announcing that the information collection request for the title 
described below has been forwarded to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The information collection request

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 approve a new 
collection of information entitled, ``Technical Training Program Course 
Effectiveness Evaluation.'' OSM is requesting a 3-year term of approval 
for this information collection activity.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. If approved OMB will provide a 
control number for this collection of information.
    As required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), a Federal Register notice 
soliciting comments on these collections of information was published 
on December 26, 1996 (61 FR 68052). No comments were received. This 
notice provides the public with an additional 30 days in which to 
comment.
    The following information is provided for the information 
collection: (1) title of the information collection; (2) OMB control 
number; (3) summary of the information collection activity; and (4) 
frequency of collection, description of the respondents, estimated 
total annual responses, and the total annual reporting and 
recordkeeping burden for the collection of information.
    Title: Technical Training Program Course Effectiveness Evaluation.
    OMB Control Number: None.
    Summary: Executive Order 12862 requires agencies to survey 
customers to determine the kind and quality of services they want and 
their level of satisfaction with existing services. The information 
supplied by this evaluation will determine customer satisfaction with 
OSM's training program and identify needs of respondents.
    Bureau Form Number: None.
    Frequency of Collection: On Occasion.
    Description of Respondents: State regulatory authority and Tribal 
employees and their supervisors.
    Total Annual Responses: 650.
    Send comments on the need for the collection of information for the 
performance of the functions of the agency; the accuracy of the 
agency's burden estimates; ways to enhance the quality, utility and 
clarity of the information collection; and ways to minimize the 
information collection burden on respondents, such as use of automated 
means of collection of the information, to the following address. 
Please refer to the appropriate OMB control number in all 
correspondence.
