Respondents: The estimated annual number of respondents decreased from 35 to 31 due to a decrease in the number of new mines. Responses: The estimated annual number of responses increased from 35 to 62 due to a change in methodology as it pertains to counting responses when multiple occupations carry out related activities. In past versions of this ICR, those activities were counted as a single response. In this ICR, they are counted as multiple responses. Time Burden: The estimated annual time burden decreased from 150 to 130 hours due to a decrease in the number of respondents. Burden Costs: The estimated annual burden costs increased from $8,321 to $9,196 due to an increase in wages. Other Burden Costs: The estimated annual other burden costs remained unchanged at $0.
