Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 241 / Friday, December 14, 2012 / Notices
1320.8(d)(1), 1320.12. On September 24,
2012, FRA published a 60-day notice in
the Federal Register soliciting comment
on ICRs for which the agency was
seeking OMB approval. 77 FR 58907.
FRA received no comments in response
to this notice.
Before OMB decides whether to
approve a proposed collection of
information, it must provide 30 days for
public comment. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b); 5
CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires
OMB to approve or disapprove
paperwork packages between 30 and 60

1320.12(d); see also 60 FR 44978, 44983,

day notice informs the regulated
community to file relevant comments
and affords the agency adequate time to
digest public comments before it
renders a decision. 60 FR 44983, Aug.
29, 1995. Therefore, respondents should
submit their respective comments to
OMB within 30 days of publication to
