SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 collection of information 
found at 30 CFR part 874. OSM is requesting a 3-year term of approval 
for these information collection activities.
    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. The OMB control number for this 
collection of information is 1029-0 113, and may be found in OSM's 
regulations at 874.10. Responses are required to obtain a benefit.
    As required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), a Federal Register notice 
soliciting comments on the collection of information for part 874 was 
published on August 4, 2010 (75 FR 47024). No comments were received 
from that notice. This notice provides the public with an additional 30 
days in which to comment on the following information collection 
activity:
    Title: 30 CFR 874--General Reclamation Requirements.
    OMB Control Number: 1029-0113.
    Summary: Part 874 establishes land and water eligibility 
requirements, reclamation objectives and priorities and reclamation 
contractor responsibility. 30 CFR 874.17 requires consultation between 
the Abandoned Mine Land (AML) agency and the appropriate Title V 
regulatory authority on the likelihood of removing the coal under a 
Title V permit and concurrences between the AML agency and the 
appropriate Title V regulatory authority on the AML project boundary 
and the amount of coal that would be extracted under the AML 
reclamation project.
    Bureau Form Number: None.
    Frequency of Collection: Once.
    Description of Respondents: State regulatory authorities and Indian 
tribes.
    Total Annual Responses: 30.
    Total Annual Burden Hours: 2,520.
    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 burdens on respondents, such as use of automated 
means of collection of the information, to the addresses listed under 
ADDRESSES. Please refer to OMB control number 1029-0113 in all 
correspondence.
    Before including your address, phone number, email address, or 
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be 
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying 
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can 
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying 
information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be 
able to do so.
