SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
regulations at 5 CFR part 1320, which implement provisions of the

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 30 CFR 
887--Subsidence insurance program grants. 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 is 1029-0107 and is codified at 30 CFR 887.10. Regulatory 
authorities are required to respond to this collection to obtain a 
benefit.
    As required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), a Federal Register notice 
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
