OMB approves this and all other MSHA paperwork packages with the requirement that the agency review and determine whether its burden estimates -- including number of respondents, total annual responses, and burden hours -- reflect the most current data. MSHA will complete its comprehensive review by March 1996, submitting the results and the corrections, if necessary, on an as-completed basis. In addition, OMB approves the package contingent upon the burden estimate changes agreed to by DOL over the telephone on 09/29/95.
