Approved through
December 31, 1996, pursuant to the emergency clearance request
provisions at 5 CFR 1320.13; three-month approval will allow OMB to
act on the standard request for clearance within that time frame.
Also, burden hours remain constant because this request is for an
extension of the existing clearance without change; the standard
package will reflect any changes to the burden estimate. Last, the
pending conditions of clearance (OMB action dated 9/21/95) remain
in effect and will be assessed in the context of the forthcoming
review.
