This collection
is approved for one year. OPIC did not publish the appropriate
Federal Register notices for this collection, did not revise the
83-I or supporting statement for this submission, and has not
performed any analysis of the burden of this collection. OPIC must,
prior to the next submission, review the burden of this collection,
including the burden of its requests for 'additional information',
which are clearly a significant burden based on the number of
collections pending 'additional information'. The hour burden
should include the hours required to communicate with OPIC about
the need for additional information as well as the burden of
gathering the additional information itself. The nonlabor burden
should include postage and other communication costs, the costs of
recordkeeping, and the costs of any contractor time necessary to
gather or review the information in these forms.
