law, or substantially interfere with any agency's ability to perform

its statutory obligations. The Acting Director of the Information

Resources Management Service, publishes this notice containing proposed

information collection requests prior to submission of these requests

to OMB. Each proposed information collection, grouped by office,

contains the following: (1) Type of review requested, e.g., new,

revision, extension, existing or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3)

Frequency of collection; (4) The affected public; (5) Reporting burden;

and/or (6) Recordkeeping burden; and (7) Abstract. OMB invites public

comment at the address specified above. Copies of the requests are
