2005-0032 in the search box. Written comments and suggestions from the 
public and affected agencies should address one or more of the

including whether the information will have practical utility;

the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;

[[Page 29303]]

    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, 
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submission of responses.

Overview of This Information Collection

    (1) Type of Information Collection Request: Extension, Without 
Change, of a Currently Approved Collection.
    (2) Title of the Form/Collection: Monthly Report on Naturalization

oath was administered. This form provides a format listing the number 
of those persons to USCIS and provides accountability for the delivery 
of the certificates of naturalization as required under that section of 
law.

of time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The estimated 
total number of respondents for the information collection N-4 is 160
