SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a series of Federal Register notices, the 
Agency announced its requests to OMB to renew its current approvals for 
various information-collection (paperwork) requirements in its 
Construction standards. In these Federal Register announcements, the 
Agency provided 60-day comment periods for the public to respond to

collection requirements and assigned OMB control numbers to these 
requirements. The table below provides the following information for 
each of these OMB-approved requirements: The title of, and CFR

on its burden-hour and cost estimates; the OMB control number; and the 
new expiration date.
