The Departments made revisions to collect accurate estimates by condensing the information collection table, as the previous format was collecting duplicate information. The Departments did their best to avoid duplicate reporting, but many of the information collection items overlap. Changes were made to the burden hours to reflect these changes, which resulted in a decrease in the hourly burden. Also, IHS burden hours are not included, which resulted in a decrease in the hourly burden. IHS will be requesting its own OMB Control Number for the information it collects.
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 and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
