Bill
The request for a revision to
OMB Collection 1670-0007 is based upon the need to update the
burden estimates based upon historical data collected from January

Authorization instrument from this collection, the addition of the
Request to Improve Program Burden instrument, and the addition of
recordkeeping costs.

with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
