its statutory obligations. The Director of the Information Resources
Group 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) 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.
