                    This notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 3501*et seq.,*                     chapter 35, as amended. An ICR is an application to OIRA seeking the approval, extension, or renewal of a S&T collection of information (collection). The ICR contains information describing the collection's purpose, the collection's likely burden on the affected public, an explanation of the necessity of the collection, and other important                           ( print page 77601)                        information describing the collection. There is one ICR for each collection.                

S&T invites comments on whether this icr should be granted based on the collection being necessary for the proper performance of departmental functions. In particular, S&T would appreciate comments addressing: (1) the practical utility of the collection; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of the collection; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of information subject to the collection; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information to or for a federal agency.
