1. Explain the circumstances that make the collection of
information necessary. Identify any legal or
administrative requirements that necessitate the
collection. The information collected is essential for
the establishment and maintenance of State and Local
Government (SLG) security accounts. Requested
information is used to issue a Statement of Account to
the entity, calculate interest and to pay the
redemption proceeds. (See Section 344.2 of
Regulations Governing Securities of the State and
Local Government Series.)
2. Indicate how, by whom, and for what purpose the
information is to be used. Used to establish State
and Local Government Securities. Without the
information, it would be impossible to establish SLG
accounts.

3. Describe whether, and to what extent, the collection
of information involves the use of automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of information
technology. What consideration is given to use
information technology to reduce burden?
Public Debt has been a leader in e-Gov, providing the
public with options for conducting financial
transactions online for several years. To provide our
customers additional options for submitting information
electronically, we are taking the following steps: a
technical project team is exploring options (such as
pay.gov) and will select the
mechanism(s)/infrastructure needed; concurrently,
reengineering of business processes (and forms) is
being conducted as the result of a reorganization of
our major business lines.

4. Describe efforts to identify duplication. Why can’t
any similar information already available be used or

modified for use for the purposes described in item 2
above? Duplicate information is not requested.
5. If the collection of information impacts small
business or other small entities describe any methods
used to minimize burden? This collection of
information does not impact small business or other
small entities.
6. What consequences to Federal program or policy
activities and what, if any, technical or legal
obstacles to reducing burden will occur if this
collection is not conducted or is conducted less
frequently? N/A
7. Is this collection of information conducted in a
manner consistent with the guidelines of 5 CFR 1320.6?
The collection of information cannot be conducted less
frequently because the collection is initiated for a
single purpose.

about this collection of information? The Bureau’s
notice was published in the Federal Register on

received.
9. What decision was made to provide any payment or gift
to respondents, other than reenumeration of

respondents and what was the basis for the assurance in
statute, regulations, or agency policy? In accordance
with the Privacy Act of 1974, information furnished by
the public is assured confidentiality.
11. What justification is there for questions of a
sensitive nature? There are no questions of a sensitive
nature.
12. What is the estimated hour burden of this collection
of information? The average time needed is 30 minutes
per response multiplied by the estimated number of
responses (5,000) reflects the total burden of 2,500
hours.

13.

What is the estimated total annual cost burden to
respondents or recordkeepers resulting from this

to respondents is not available.
