Federal agencies seek public comments on various information collection requests

Multiple federal agencies have recently submitted requests to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval of various information collection activities, according to the Federal Register.

The Export-Import Bank of the United States is seeking comments on its proposed information collection related to the Application for Equity Express Select Insurance as part of efforts to reduce paperwork and respondent burden.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration plans to conduct a new study on driving performance among novice drivers under age 21 and has submitted a related information collection request for public comment.

Other agencies such as the Corporation for National and Community Service and the Federal Communications Commission have also proposed revisions or new information collections and are inviting public input in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

These requests are part of a broader government-wide effort to streamline service delivery feedback and reduce paperwork burdens, with agencies encouraging the public and federal entities to provide comments during the review process.
