SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) and 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), we provide
the general public and other Federal agencies with an opportunity to
comment on new, proposed, revised, and continuing collections of
information. This helps us assess the impact of our information
collection requirements and minimize the public's reporting burden. It
also helps the public understand our information collection
requirements and provide the requested data in the desired format.
We are soliciting comments on the proposed ICR that is described
below. We are especially interested in public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) is the collection necessary to the proper
functions of the agency; (2) will this information be processed and
used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4)
how might the agency enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how might the agency minimize the
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use
of information technology.
Comments that you submit in response to this notice are a matter of
public record. We will include or summarize each comment in our request
to OMB to approve this ICR. 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.
Abstract: Since 1986, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and
Enforcement has presented awards to coal mine operators who completed
exemplary active reclamation. A parallel

objective is to give public recognition to those responsible for the
nation's most outstanding achievement in environmentally sound surface
mining and land reclamation and to encourage the exchange and transfer
of successful reclamation technology.
