and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the 
following proposed and/or continuing information collections, as 
required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. An 
agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information unless it

to any penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information 
subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) that does not display a

proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Commission, including whether the 
information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the 
Commissions burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, 
and clarity of the information collected and (d) ways to minimize the 
burden of the collection of information on the respondents, including
