early opportunity to comment on information collection requests. OMB
may amend or waive the requirement for public consultation to the
extent that public participation in the approval process would defeat
the purpose of the information collection, violate State or Federal
law, or substantially interfere with any agency's ability to perform
its statutory obligations. The Leader, Information Policy and Standards
Team, Regulatory Information Management Services, Office of Management,
publishes that notice containing proposed information collection
requests prior to submission of these requests to OMB. Each proposed
