office handles, the number of cases, the types of defendants 
(individual vs. business), and the outcomes of the cases. The SLWCCP 
will also collect information on AG office cooperation with regulatory 
agencies and federal and local governments.

of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: 56 respondents 
with an average of 31 minutes to respond.
