We have extended approval of the existing paperwork requirements through May 1988, by which time the agency will have published a final rule revising the procedures for approval of mining equipment. No later than the day of publication of the final rule, the agency shall submit one complete package requesting OMB approval for all permissible equipment testing paperwork, including existing paperwork requirements not revised by the final rule. Our conditions of clearan dated 1/05/87 for the proposed paperwork requirements remain unchanged. The submission for the final rule shall quantify any changes in paperwork burden attributable to the final rule. In addition, the submission for the final rule shall include a request fo OMB approval of the paperwork requirement in proposed paragraph 15.7(b quality assurance, which was omitted from the original request for approval of paperwork in the proposed rule.
