    In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.

Therefore, in preparation for OMB review and approval of the following

    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed information requirement is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
