the methods and the assumptions used; (c) Ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) Ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other

notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB 
approval. All comments will become a matter of public record.
