information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of 
the following four points:

for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including 
whether the information will have practical utility;
--Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;

electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
