The guidance document request form and the guidance document evaluation form will help OEC stakeholders to, first, request the guidance documents and, second, to assess the effectiveness of the guidance documents. OEC will use the request form to track the request for and dissemination of the guidance documents to stakeholders. OEC will use the evaluation information for continuous improvement to its documents. Guidance document request forms and evaluation forms will primarily be submitted electronically. They may also be submitted in paper form at conferences, meetings, and other events. OMB is particularly interested in comments which:

1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;
