early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. OMB

its statutory obligations. The Leader, Regulatory Information 

Management Group, Office of the Chief Information Officer, publishes 

that notice containing proposed information collection requests prior

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)
