financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. The Bureau of Labor

concerning the proposed extension 

without change of ‘‘General Inquiries to 

State Agency Contacts.’’ A copy of the 

proposed information collection request 

can be obtained by contacting the

requests deal with program deliverables, 

program enhancements, operations, or 

administrative issues, questions and 

dialogue are crucial to the successful 

implementation of these programs.
