Approved, until
October 31, 1992. The NPRM, expected to be published 11/15/91 will
not be published until March 1992. Following review of public
comment, this information collection must be submitted with any
modifications for review prior to the expiration. This interim
approval is provided because the program office notes on page 2
that certification agreement instruments have been in use without
an OMB number. Please provide inventory correction worksheet to
correct burden estimate for information collections currently in
use as well as copies of these certification instruments.
