This form contains five items and is used to collect information
about participants who are interested in joining an electronic
discussion group. The form collects data to see if a person is eligible

information is estimated to average 1 minute per response.

hours.
Comments are invited on (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and the assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who
respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technology. Comments should be sent to the address
in the preamble. All responses to the notice will be summarized and
