The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) is seeking public comments on the renewal of an information collection, in line with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This involves a form used by state and tribal governments to request technical training courses, which helps OSMRE plan and estimate the resources needed for these courses. The public has until March 31, 2025, to provide feedback on whether this collection is necessary, how the agency could improve the process, and how the burden on respondents might be minimized. The information collection is mandatory for those who want to participate in the training courses.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to keep getting feedback from people about a form that helps them plan classes to teach people about taking care of places where mining happens, and they want everyone to say if filling out this form is helpful before the end of March.
