agency, including whether the information has practical utility;

(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information;

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

(4) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond (such as using appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses).
