Terms of Clearance:
WE HAVE APPROVED THIS COLLECTION OF INFORMATION THROUGH 9/88, BY WHICH TIME THE AGENCY PLANS TO PUBLISH A FINAL RULE REVISING THESE RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS. TO DATE, THE CONCERNS WHICH WE RAISED IN OUR CLEARANCES DATED 4/17/84, 12/06/84, AND 5/06/86 HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AT ALL. WE REMAIN CONCERNED THAT THE NEED AND PURPOSE OF THESE RECORDS ARE NOT CLEAR. OTHER APPROACHES, SUCH AS A CERTIFICATION, WOULD SEEM TO MEET THE AGENCY'S NEEDS AND WOULD IMPOS A LESSER BURDEN ON THE PUBLIC. WE ARE ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE AGENCY HAS FURTHER DELAYED RULEMAKING ACTION ON THESE PAPERWORK REQUIREMENTS. IF THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE RETAINED IN THE PROPOSED RULE, THE AGENCY SHALL COMPLETELY JUSTIFY THEM IN LIGHT OF OTHER, LESS BURDENSOME RECORDKEEPING ALTERNATIVES.
