This collection
was previously submitted under Section 3504(H) of the Paperwork
Reduction Act on June 6, 1994. The previous August, 1994 clearance
action disappr oved certain proposed requirements and continued the
existing col lection until October, 1995. It appears that the
procedures under 5 CFR 1320.13 should have been followed, in which
case the comments would have been filed while also giving a three
year app roval to the "proposed rule". Following discussions with
Commission staff, this action essentially corrects the previous
clearance action and notes Comm ission staff responses contained in
a letter of September 12, 199 5 (contained in this docket). Under
Section 1320.13, the Commission staff should submit all substantial
modifications to O MB for review 60 days prior to Commission action
on a final rule.
