those AMCs that are either: (1) Registered with and subject to 
supervision by a State that has elected to register and supervise AMCs; 
or (2) are Federally regulated AMCs. In order for a State that elects 
to register and supervise AMCs to enter an AMC on the AMC Registry, the 
following items are proposed to be required entries by the State via 
extranet application on the AMC Registry:


[[Page 22486]]

    States listing AMCs on the AMC Registry will enter the above 
information for each AMC for the initial entry only. After the initial 
entry, the information is retained on the AMC Registry, and will only 
need to be amended if necessary by the State.

supervise and register AMCs, and that the average number of AMCs in a 
State will be 150. This estimate is based on information currently 
available, and will be high for some States, and low for other States. 
The initial entry by a State on a single AMC is estimated to take 15

periodically, are estimated to be negligible.

proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether 
the information shall have practical utility;

collection of information;
    (c) Ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
