5 CFR Part 1320.13 and the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act

should be forwarded, as quickly as possible, to Edward Clarke, Office 
of Management and Budget, New Executive Office Building, Room 10202,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 3507 of Title 44 of the United 
States Code, as adopted by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, as 
amended, requires that agencies prepare a notice for publication in the 
Federal Register, listing those information collection requests 
submitted to OMB for approval or renewal under the Act. OMB reviews and 
approves agency submissions in accordance with criteria set forth in 
the Act. In carrying out its responsibilities, OMB also considers 
public comments on the proposed forms and the reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements. OMB approval of an information collection 
requirement must be renewed at least once every three years. Under 
emergency clearance procedures, OMB will assign a control number to the 
collection for a maximum of 90 days.
