SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and

respondent burden, this notice informs the public and other Federal

agencies of the approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)

of a collection of information. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(PRA) provides that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person

is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it

on May 20, 1998 (63 FR 27677) made the rule effective on June 29, 1998.

The Paperwork Reduction Act section of the preamble to the final rule

stated that the information collection requirements would not take

effect until approved by OMB. The preamble to the final rule provided

the required public comment period and announced that we had submitted

1998, OMB approved the collection of information required in 30 CFR

250, subpart L, with an expiration date of July 31, 2001.
