    The Board invites public comment on the following information 
collections, which are being reviewed under authority delegated by the

for the proper performance of the Board's functions, including whether 
the information has practical utility;
    b. The accuracy of the Board's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed information collections, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    c. Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected;

respondents, including through the use of automated collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology; and

maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information.
    At the end of the comment period, the comments and recommendations 
received will be analyzed to determine the extent to which the Board
