OMB does not
approve this information collection request, and continue the
current clearance through January 1995. DOL made several revision
to the information collection requirements in the proposed rule
that underlies these forms. The final rule shall respond
appropriately to comments received regarding the burden and utility
of these proposed changes in the related forms. DOL shall assess
its proposal that woul require labor unions to file financial
reports on a cash basis, as opposed to allowing unions the option
of reporting on a cash or accrua basis. DOL shall demonstrate that
if this restriction is maintained, represents the least burdensome
means of reporting for unions. This issue shall be reflected in the
information collection package that reflects the final rule; that
package will be submitted for PRA review
