with 5 CFR 1320, the information collection is approved until
December, 2000. This approval applies only to the collection of
information for the EQIP. Approval of the information collection
for FPP and CFO is withheld until funds become available for the
implementation of these programs. If there are no changes to the
information collection for FPP and CFO when funding becomes
available, the Agency may submit a change worksheet to update the
information collection package. Upon resubmission of the package,
the_Agency should also discuss the recommendations of PRIT for
their information collection and revise it accordingly.
