collection's burden on respondents; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information we propose to collect; (d) ways
to minimize the burden on respondents of collecting the information,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology; and (e) whether the collection affects
small businesses. In this notice, NARA solicits comments concerning the
following information collection:
