public harm is reasonably likely to 

result if normal clearance procedures 

are followed. Approval by the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) has 

been requested by July 3, 2007. A 

regular clearance process is also 

beginning. Interested persons are 

invited to submit comments on or before 

August 27, 2007.

interested Federal agencies and the 

public an early opportunity to comment 

on information collection requests. The 

Office of Management and Budget

the extent that public participation in

purpose of the information collection, 

violate State or Federal law, or 

substantially interfere with any agency’s 

ability to perform its statutory 

obligations. The IC Clearance Official,
