Abstract: The OGE Form 450 collects information from covered

Order 12674 of April 12, 1989 (as modified by Executive Order 12731 of
October 17, 1990, 3 CFR, 1990 Comp., pp. 306-311, at p. 308) and
section 107(a) of the Ethics Act, 5 U.S.C. app., sec. 107(a).
Request for Comments: OGE published a first round notice of its
intent to request paperwork clearance for the proposed unmodified OGE
Form 450 Executive Branch Confidential Financial Disclosure Report on
January 25, 2010 (see 75 FR 3905). OGE received no responses to that
notice. Agency and public comment is again invited specifically on the
need for and practical utility of this information collection, the
accuracy of OGE's burden estimate, the enhancement of quality, utility
and clarity of the information collected, and the minimization of
burden (including the use of information technology). Comments received
in response to this notice will be summarized for, and may be included
with, the OGE request for extension of OMB paperwork approval. The
comments will also become a matter of public record.
Approved: March 29, 2010.
Robert I. Cusick,
Director, Office of Government Ethics.
