PAPERWORK REDUCTION STATEMENT
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501) requires us to inform you that: Federal Agencies 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. This information is
being collected to allow citizens to request an inspection if you believe a violation at a mine site exists. The obligation to respond is required to
obtain a benefit. Confidentiality is required under 30 CFR 842.12(b) and (e) and 30 CFR 721.13 (a)(2) and (c)(4) to protect the identity of
people supplying information to OSMRE, if they request it. Your name will remain confidential by OSMRE unless you accompany the
inspector on an inspection, or unless disclosure is required under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or other Federal law. Any
information you submit to OSMRE may be subject to disclosure. However, the information will be treated in accordance with the
requirements of the FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552, as amended) and the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a). Public reporting burden for this collection
is estimated to average 1 hour, including time for reviewing instructions, gathering and maintaining data, and completing and reviewing the
form. Direct comments regarding the burden estimate or any other aspect of this form to the Information Collection Clearance Officer, Office of
Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, 1849 C. Street, NW, MIB 4559, Washington, D.C. 20240.
