* * * and otherwise consult with
members of the public and affected
agencies concerning each proposed
collection of information * * *.’’
Agencies must specifically solicit
comments to (a) evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is
necessary for the agency to perform its
duties, including whether the
information is useful; (b) evaluate the
accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) enhance the quality,
usefulness, and clarity of the
information that ONRR collects; and (d)
minimize the burden on the
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
The PRA also requires agencies to
estimate the total annual reporting
‘‘non-hour cost’’ burden to respondents
or record-keepers resulting from the
collection of information. If you have
costs to generate, maintain, and disclose
this information, you should comment
and provide your total capital and
startup cost components or annual
operation, maintenance, and purchase
of service components. You should
describe the methods that you use to
estimate (1) major cost factors, including
system and technology acquisition, (2)
expected useful life of capital
equipment, (3) discount rate(s), and (4)
the period over which you incur costs.
Capital and startup costs include,
among other items, computers and
software that you purchase to prepare
for collecting information and
monitoring, sampling, and testing
equipment, and record-storage facilities.
Generally, your estimates should not
include equipment or services
purchased (i) before October 1, 1995; (ii)
to comply with requirements not
associated with the information
collection; (iii) for reasons other than to
provide information or keep records for
the Federal government; or (iv) as part
of customary and usual business, or
private practices.
We will summarize written responses
to this notice and address them in our
ICR submission for OMB approval,
including appropriate adjustments to
the estimated burden. We will provide
a copy of the ICR to you, without
charge, upon request. We also will post
the ICR at https://www.onrr.gov/Laws_R_

States v. The City of Cleveland Heights,
Ohio and The State of Ohio, Civil
Action No. 17–cv–1517.
