DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Bureau of Reclamation
Notice of Request for Reinstatement of a Previously Approved
Information Collection
AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, Interior.
ACTION: Notice and request for comments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice announces the intentions of the Bureau of Reclamation
(Reclamation) to seek renewal of the information collection for Private
Rental Survey. Under Public Law 88-459, Federal agencies are authorized
to provide housing for Government employees under specified
circumstances. A review of private rental market housing rates is
required once every 5 years to ensure that the rental, utility, and
related charges to occupants of Government Furnished Quarters (GFQ) are
comparable to corresponding charges in the private sector. To avoid
unnecessary duplication and inconsistent rental rates, the Bureau of
Reclamation conducts housing surveys for the Departments of Interior,
Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Justice, Transportation, Treasury, and
Health and Human Services. If the collection activity was not
performed, there would be no basis for determining open market rental
costs.
DATES: Comments on this notice must be received by June 6, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
To submit comments on this information collection contact: Bureau of
Reclamation, Information Collection Officer, D-7924, P.O. Box 25007,
Denver, Colorado 80225-0007; telephone: (303) 236-0305 extension 462;
Internet address: [email protected]
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments are invited on: (a) whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of participating agencies, including
whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy
of Reclamation's estimated burden of the proposed collection of
information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. Consideration will be given to comments and
suggestions submitted within 60 days of this publication.
