    In accordance with the Code of Federal Regulation [5 CFR Part 
1320.13(a)(2)(ii)] emergency processing is requested. Funding for this 
information collection was delayed due to the Federal Government 
furlough and currently approved funding will expire on September 30, 
1996. As a result, the normal 90 day comment period will expire after 
the funding expires. Therefore, the Department of Justice is requesting 
emergency approval from the Office of Management and Budget for this 
collection of information by August 9, 1996.
    The proposed information collection is published to obtain comments 
from the public and affected agencies. Comments are encouraged and will 
be accepted. Written comments and suggestions from the public and 
affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of information are 
requested. Comments should address one or more of the following four 
points:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (2) evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    (3) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses.
    Written comments and/or suggestions regarding the items contained 
in this notice, especially regarding the estimated public burden and
