estimate; the need for the information; 

its practical utility; ways to enhance its 

quality, utility, and clarity; and on ways 

to minimize burden on respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. Written 

comments and recommendations 

regarding the information collection(s) 

should be submitted to the OMB Desk 

Officer and the SSA Reports Clearance
