Proposed Public Information Collection – Office of the Assistant to the Secretary of War for Public Affairs (Paperwork Reduction Act Notice)
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The Office of the Assistant to the Secretary of War for Public Affairs has announced a proposed public information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The notice invites public comments on the necessity, accuracy, quality, and burden of the proposed data collection before it is formally approved. The public is asked to weigh in on four specific dimensions: whether the collection is necessary and practically useful for agency functions; whether the agency's burden estimate is accurate; how the quality and clarity of the collected information could be improved; and how the burden on respondents could be minimized, including through automation or other technology. This is a routine administrative notice typical of U.S. federal agencies seeking Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for new or renewed information collection activities. The notice does not describe the specific subject matter of the data being collected, focusing instead on the procedural requirements of the PRA comment process.
