the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
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 the 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.
