per respondent).
    Public Comments Invited: DOT requests comment on any aspect of this 
information collection, including whether the proposed collection is 
reasonable for the proper performance of the Department's EEO 
functions; the accuracy of the estimated burden; methods by which the 
Department could enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information collection; and ways the burdens could be minimized without 
reducing the quality of the collected information. DOT will summarize 
and include all comments with its request for OMB's renewed approval.
