ICR Summary of Burden

	Total Approved	Previously Approved	Change Due to New Statute	Change Due to Agency Discretion	Change Due to Adjustment in Estimate	Change Due to Potential Violation of the PRA
Annual Number of Responses	7,567	18,752	0	-7,751	-3,434	0
Annual Time Burden (Hours)	30,635	67,251	0	-19,864	-16,752	0
Annual Cost Burden (Dollars)	165,492	1,320,702	0	-1,170,960	15,750	0

Burden increases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: Hour Burden: To accommodate the split of regulations from the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement to BOEM (76 FR 64432), BOEM is removing from this collection the requirements and corresponding burdens that were transferred to BSEE per Secretarial Order No. 3299, May 19, 2010. The OMB has approved those BSEE requirements and burdens on 9/14/12 under BSEE 1014-0022. This results in a program decrease of 22,449 hours. We are requesting a program increase of 2,585 hours due to adding two requirements that were previously overlooked, resulting in a net program decrease of 19,864 hours. We are also requesting an adjustment decrease of 16,752 hours due to re-estimating the number of annual responses and the amount of time required to respond based on consultations. Cost Burden: The currently approved OMB non-hour cost burden is $1,320,702. This submission requests $165,492. This represents a program decrease of $1,170,960 for deleting BSEE non-hour costs (now approved under 1014-0022) and an adjustment increase of $15,750 to accommodate inflation and re-estimating the number of annual responses.
