SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) 

(44 U.S.C. 3501–3520), Federal agencies 

must obtain approval from the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for each 

collection of information they conduct 

or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also 

requires Federal agencies to provide a 

60-day notice in the Federal Register

concerning each proposed collection of

information, including each new

proposed collection, each proposed

extension of existing collection of

information, and each reinstatement of

previously approved information

collection before submitting the

collection to the OMB for approval. To

comply with this requirement, we are

publishing this notice of a proposed

data collection as described below.

The OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that will help: 

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; 

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

4. Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions

of responses.

5. Assess information collection costs.
