SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which implement provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), require that interested members of the public and affected agencies have an opportunity to comment on information collection and recordkeeping activities [see 5 CFR 1320.8(d)]. OSMRE has submitted a request to OMB to renew its approval for the collection of information found at 30 CFR part 702—Exemption for Coal Extraction Incidental to the Extraction of Other Minerals. OSMRE is requesting a 3-year term of approval for this collection. An agency 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. The OMB control number for this collection of information is 1029-0089 and is displayed at 30 CFR 702.10. As required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), a **Federal Register** notice soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on February 16, 2016 (81 FR 7829). No comments were received. This notice provides the public with an additional 30 days in which to comment on the following information collection activity: *Title:* 30 CFR part 702—Exemption for Coal Extraction Incidental to the Extraction of Other Minerals. *OMB Control Number:* 1029-0089. *Summary:* This Part implements the requirement in Section 701(28) of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA), which grants an exemption from the requirements of SMCRA to operators extracting not more than 16 2/3 percentage tonnage of coal incidental to the extraction of other minerals. This information will be used by the regulatory authorities to make that determination. *Bureau Form Number:* None. *Frequency of Collection:* Once and annually thereafter. *Description of Respondents:* Producers of coal and other minerals, and State regulatory authorities. *Total Annual Responses:* 127. *Total Annual Burden Hours:* 396. *Total Non-wage Costs:* $600. *Obligation to Respond:* Required in order to obtain or retain benefits. Send comments on the need for the collection of information for the performance of the functions of the agency; the accuracy of the agency's burden estimates; ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and ways to minimize the information collection burden on respondents, such as use of automated means of collection of the information, to the offices listed in the ADDRESSES section. Please refer to OMB control number 1029-0089 in all correspondence. 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.

Payne, Chief, Division of Regulatory Support. [FR Doc. 2016-11273 Filed 5-11-16; 8:45 am]
