Download as PDF 66438 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 211 / Wednesday, November 2, 2005 / Notices statement on the form so that it precedes the signature and date block. Second, OGE proposes modifying the Privacy Act Statement summary of the OGE Form 201. In 2003, OGE updated the OGE/GOVT–1 system of records notice (covering Executive Branch Personnel Public Financial Disclosure Reports and Other Name-Retrieved Ethics Program Records, and in which completed OGE Form 201s are maintained). See 68 FR 3097–3109, at 3100 (January 22, 2003). As a result, OGE is modifying the sixth routine use listed in the Privacy Act Statement summary in part II of the form. Finally, OGE proposes updating the edition date on pages one and two of the form. Reporting Burden OGE estimates that an average of 374 OGE Form 201s will be filed throughout the executive branch each year by members of the public (primarily by news media, public interest groups and private citizens) for the next three years. This figure is based on the number of OGE Form 201s filed at OGE by members of the public (221 for 2003 and 143 for 2004) and responses to OGE’s annual agency ethics program questionnaire (244 for 2003 and 140 for 2004) for a total of 748. That number is then divided by two to give the projected annual average of 374. The estimated average amount of time to complete the form, including review of the instructions, remains at ten minutes. Thus, the estimated annual public burden for the OGE Form 201 (throughout the executive branch) is 63 hours (374 form × 10 minutes per form ¥number rounded up). This is an increase from the current burden of 37 hours. The current burden accounts for filers whose OGE Form 201s were filed each year only with OGE. The proposed estimate of burden hours includes OGE Form 201s or equivalent access forms filed by the public with departments and agencies throughout the executive branch (including OGE). Web Site Distribution of Blank Forms The OGE Form 201 as modified will continue to be made available free-ofcharge as a downloadable and fillable Portable Document Format (PDF) file to the public as well as departments and agencies on OGE’s Internet Web site at https://www.usoge.gov. OGE will continue to permit departments and agencies to use the copy of the OGE Form 201 available on OGE’s Web site or to develop and utilize their own, electronic versions of the OGE form, provided that they precisely duplicate the original to the extent possible. Agencies can also develop VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:22 Nov 01, 2005 Jkt 208001 their own access forms, provided all the information required by the Ethics Act and OGE regulations is placed on such forms, along with the appropriate Privacy Act and paperwork notices with any attendant clearances being obtained by the agencies therefor. For now, OGE itself accepts filing of a completed OGE Form 201 by mail, fax, or in person, but does not permit E-mail or Internet online transmission. Similarly, requested copies of reports or other covered records are supplied by OGE as hard (paper) copies. Consideration of Comments Public comment is invited on each aspect of the proposed modified OGE Form 201 as set forth in this notice, including specifically views on the need for and practical utility of this information collection; the accuracy of OGE’s burden estimate; the enhancement of quality, utility and clarity of the information collected; and the minimization of burden (including the use of information technology). Comments received in response to this notice will be summarized for, and may be included with, the OGE request for OMB paperwork approval for this proposed modified information collection. The comments will also become a matter of public record. public health community, and other stakeholders.
