its statutory obligations. The Director of the Information Resources 
Management Service, publishes this notice containing proposed 
information collection requests prior to submission of these requests

contains the following: (1) Type of review requested, e.g, new, 
revision, extension, existing or reinstatement; (2) Title; (3) 
Frequency of collection; (4) The affected public; (5) Reporting burden; 
and/or (6) Recordkeeping burden; and (7) Abstract. OMB invites public
