This information collection is a request for revision of 1076-0084, which is currently in the process of being renewed. This revision is necessary to meet changing regulatory requirements. The rulemaking process is moving forward at the same time the renewal of 1076-0084 is moving forward, necessitating this new ICR as a placeholder for the revised IC.
The "program change due to agency discretion" reflected in the ROCIS submission is because this information collection was entered as a "new" information collection because the OMB Control Number is being used for the renewal. In fact, this is a revision, reducing the overally estimated hour burden due to a regulatory change reducing the frequency with which applications must be considered. The application form for this information collection has also been revised to add two new questions; however, this will not affect the overall estimated hour burden for the application because the questions are applicable in very limited circumstances.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
