“(1) establishing differing compliance or reporting requirements or

are to respond;

“(2) the clarification, consolidation, or simplification of compliance
and reporting requirements; or collection of information , or any part
thereof;

“(3) an exemption from coverage of the collection of information, or
any part thereof;

      “(d) is written using plain, coherent, and unambiguous
terminology and is understandable to those who are to respond;

      “(e) is to be implemented in ways consistent and compatible, to
the maximum extent practicable, with the existing reporting and
recordkeeping practices of those who are to respond;

       “(f) indicates for each recordkeeping requirement the length of
time persons are required to maintain the records specified;

       “(g) informs potential respondents of the information called

information in a manner  which shall enhance, where appropriate, the
utility of the information to agencies and the public;

       “(i)  uses effective and efficient statistical survey
methodology appropriate to the purpose for which the information is to

of  the collection (together  with a request that the public direct to
the agency any comments concerning the accuracy of  this burden estimate
and any suggestions for reducing this burden);

“(iv) whether responses to the collection of information are
voluntary, required to obtain or retain a benefit (citing authority), or
mandatory (citing authority);

“(v) the nature and extent of confidentiality to be provided, if any
(citing authority); and
