Evaluate whether the proposed collection is necessary for the

the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed information 
collection; (3) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (4) minimize the burden of collection 
of information on those who are to respond, including through the use 
of appropriate automated collection techniques or other forms of 
information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of 
responses.
