The information collection
reflects agency adjustments. Specifically we have decreased our
recordkeeping estimate by 149 hours, with a corresponding [decrease
in responses by 596 responses]. Because we expect fewer records to
be maintained, we have adjusted our estimate accordingly. Also, in
ROCIS, we have consolidated the third-party disclosure ICs into one
element from four in this collection while we have listed the
recordkeeping elements individually (i.e., we consolidated the
total number for ICs from six to three). Therefore, for this
submission of extension, this ICR now has three ICs in ROCIS, but
the information collection activities and the burden associated
with each IC remain broken down into six ICs in Item 12 of this
supporting statement.
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.
