    Abstract: The form would include the following items:
    This form contains five items and is used to collect information 
about participants who are interested in joining an electronic 
discussion group. The form collects data to see if a person is eligible 
to join the discussion group. Because these electronic discussion

information is estimated to average 1 minute per response.
    Respondents: Individuals who are interested in joining an 
electronic discussion group.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 750 per year.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 750 minutes or 12.5 
hours.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information will have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and the assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who 
respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, 
mechanical, or other technology. Comments should be sent to the address
