the Bureau issue a rule establishing how states are to provide notice 
to the Bureau before taking action to enforce the Act (or, in emergency 
situations, immediately after taking such an action). In accordance 
with the requirements of the Act, the Bureau issued a final rule (12 
CFR 1082.1) establishing that notice should be provided at least 10 
days before the filing of an action, with certain exceptions, and 
setting forth a limited set of information which is to be provided with 
the notice.
    OMB's approval for this collection of information is scheduled to

its approval for this collection of information for an additional three 
years.
    Request for Comments: Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Bureau, including whether the information will 
have practical utility; (b) The accuracy of the Bureau's estimate of 
the burden of the collection of information, including the validity of 
the methods and the assumptions used; (c) Ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) Ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology. Comments submitted in response to this 
notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approval. All comments will become a matter 
of public record.
