L. 104-13, May 22, 1995), as amended by the Clinger-Cohen Act (Pub. L. 104-106), OPM is soliciting comments for this collection. The previous collection (OMB No. 3206-0263) was published in the Federal Register on November 26, 2013 at 78 FR 70598. Approximately 800 respondents will complete the Multi-State Plan Program External Review Intake Form, OPM Form 1840 on a yearly basis.

Whether this collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of functions of the Office of Personnel Management, and whether it will have practical utility; 2. Whether our estimate of the public burden of this collection is accurate, and based on valid assumptions and methodology; and 3. Ways in which we can minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, through the use of the appropriate technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
