With respect to the following collection of information, ACL/ILA invites comments on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of ACL/ILA's functions, including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of ACL/ILA estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques when appropriate, and other forms of information technology.
