Whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy 
of the Department's estimate about the information collection burden; 
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information collection; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the 
information collection on respondents, including the use of automated 
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
