The Commission is submitting
this expiring IC as an extension (no change in the recordkeeping
requirement). The reason for the increase in the total annual
burden is due to an increase in respondent/responses. Therefore,
the Commission is requesting approval for an 11,559 hour increase
for this information collection. The previous estimate in 2007 for
the number of respondents/responses was 57,410.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
