Information Collection Submitted to the Office of Management and
Budget for Review Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
The supporting statement for a new form, MMS-4402, Notice of Intent
to Take Coal Transportation and Washing Allowances, has been submitted
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Copies of the new form and related explanatory material may be obtained
by contacting Jeane Kalas at (303) 231-3046. Comments and suggestions
on the new form should be made directly to the Bureau Clearance Officer
at the telephone number listed below, and to the OMB Paperwork
Reduction Project, Washington, D.C. 20503, telephone (202) 395-7340.
Title: Supporting Statement for Notice of Intent To Take Coal
Transportation and Washing Allowances.
Abstract: The Minerals Management Service (MMS) is amending its
valuation regulations governing coal transportation and washing
allowances, particularly as they relate to forms filing requirements
and associated sanctions for failure to file required forms on time.
Because MMS has experienced numerous problems with administration of
the allowance regulations, an Allowance Study Group composed of
representatives from MMS, States and Tribes, and industry was formed to
evaluate the current regulatory requirements. Based on the
recommendations of the Study Group, MMS is amending its valuation
regulations and has developed a new form, the Notice of Intent To Take
Coal Transportation and Washing Allowances, Form MMS-4402. The new form
will be used to notify MMS of a company's intention to take
transportation and processing allowances. It will eliminate the need to
report estimated allowances and other data and will reduce burden on
the payor.
Bureau Form Number: MMS-4402.
Frequency: Annually or during the year prior to claiming an
allowance.
Description of Respondents: Coal companies. [[Page 4190]]
Estimated Average Completion Time: 5 minutes.
Annual Responses: 40.
Annual Burden Hours: 3.3.
Bureau Clearance Officer: Arthur Quintana (703) 787-1101.
