SUMMARY: As part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and 
respondent burden, this notice informs the public and other Federal 
agencies of the approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
of a collection of information. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA) provides that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person 
is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it 
displays a currently valid OMB control number.

titled collection (RIN 1010-AC13, 63 FR 2605) with an effective date of 
February 16, 1998. The preamble to the final rule stated that the 
information collection requirement in Sec. 203.61 would not take effect
