three (3) Information Collection
Requests (ICR) to the Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs
(OIRA), Office of Management and
Budget (OMB). Our ICR(s) describe the

public. Review and approval by OIRA
ensures that we impose appropriate
paperwork burdens.
The RRB invites comments on the
proposed collections of information to
determine (1) the practical utility of the
collections; (2) the accuracy of the
estimated burden of the collections; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information that is the
subject of collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of collections on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments to RRB or OIRA must contain
the OMB control number of the ICR. For
proper consideration of your comments,
it is best if RRB and OIRA receive them
within 30 days of publication date.
