or other forms of information 

technology.

collection must be received on or before 

April 16, 2010. If you anticipate

(a) Any such request shall be 

accompanied by a written determination 

that: 

(1) The collection of information: 

(i) Is needed prior to the expiration of 

time periods established under this Part; 

and 

(ii) Is essential to the mission of the 

agency; and 

(2) The agency cannot reasonably 

comply with the normal clearance 

procedures under this Part because: 

(i) Public harm is reasonably likely to 

result if normal clearance procedures 

are followed; 

(ii) An unanticipated event has 

occurred; or 

(iii) The use of normal clearance 

procedures is reasonably likely to 

prevent or disrupt the collection of

(b) The agency shall state the time 

period within which OMB should 

approve or disapprove the collection of 

information.
