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

extent that public participation in the approval process would defeat
the purpose of the information collection, violate State or Federal

its statutory obligations. The Leader,
