SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the 
Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) is 
announcing its intention to request renewed approval for the collection 
of information for two technical training program course effectiveness 
evaluation forms. This collection request has been forwarded to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. The 
information collection request describes the nature of the information 
collection and the expected burden and cost.

DATES: OMB has up to 60 days to approve or disapprove the information 
collections but may respond after 30 days. Therefore, public comments 
should be submitted to OMB by November 1, 2012, in order to be assured 
of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments to the Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget, Attention: Department of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
regulations at 5 CFR 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)]. OSM has submitted a request to OMB to renew its approval of 
the collection of information contained in two technical training 
program course effectiveness evaluation forms. OSM is requesting a 3-
year term of approval for each information collection activity.
    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 1029-0110. Completion and submission of 
these forms is voluntary.
    As required by 5 CFR 1320.8(d), a Federal Register notice 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
June 22, 2012 (77 FR 37710). No comments were received. This notice 
provides the public with an additional 30 days in which to comment on 
the following information collection activities:
    Title: Technical Training Program Course Effectiveness Evaluations.
    OMB Control Number: 1029-0110.
    Summary: Executive Order 12862 requires agencies to survey 
customers to determine the kind and quality of services they want and 
their level of satisfaction with existing services. The information 
supplied by this evaluation will determine customer satisfaction with 
OSM's training program and identify needs of respondents.
    Bureau Form Number: None.
    Frequency of Collection: Once.
