Although it is possible for the public 

to submit the nominations through 

regular or express mail, recently very 

few submissions have been received in 

this manner. The majority of recent 

submissions have been through 

electronic mail. Therefore, we estimate 

one mailing per year within the next 3 

years at a rate of 49 cents for a total 

postage cost of $1.47.

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the agency, including 

whether the information shall have

agency’s estimate of the burden 

(including hours and cost) of the 

proposed collection of information; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be
