SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3506 of the Paperwork Reduction Act

and Budget (OMB) provide interested Federal agencies and the public an 

early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. OMB 

may amend or waive the requirement for public consultation to the 

extent that public participation in the approval process would defeat 

the purpose of the information collection, violate State or Federal 

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

its statutory obligations. The Leader, Information Management Group, 

Office of the Chief Financial and Chief Information Officer, publishes 

that 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) Summary of the collection; (4) 

Description of the need for, and proposed use of, the information; (5) 

Respondents and frequency of collection; and (6) Reporting and/or 

Recordkeeping burden. OMB invites public comment at the address 

specified above. Copies of the requests are available from Patrick J.
