continuing collections of information in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995. This program 

helps to ensure that requested data is 

provided in the desired format; 

reporting burden (time and financial 

resources) is minimized; collection 

instruments are clearly understood; and 

the impact of collection requirements on 

respondents is properly assessed.

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used;
