Federal agencies seek public comment on information collection renewals

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has forwarded a request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to renew an existing information collection, as reported in the Federal Register. This action is part of compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, which mandates public notices for such renewals.

Similarly, the Department of Commerce has invited public and federal agency comments on proposed and continuing information collections related to the Cook Inlet EEZ commercial salmon fishery. This comment period precedes the submission of the collection to OMB.

Additionally, the Department of Education is proposing a revision to a currently approved information collection concerning Title II report cards on state teacher credentialing and preparation under the Higher Education Act (HEA).

These notices are part of a broader effort to assess the impact of federal information collection requirements and reduce reporting burdens on the public, as outlined in the Paperwork Reduction Act.

The Federal Register website hosting these notices is currently a prototype and not an official legal edition, with official versions available on govinfo.gov. The Administrative Committee of the Federal Register has yet to grant it official legal status.
