This request is
approved until Sept. 30,1981. The use of this form and other
similar insurance forms (29-389e,29-353a) should be reviewed for
consolidation and/or elimination as it duplicates substantial parts
of other insurance forms. OMB will expect the ICB submission to
reflec reductions in burden as a result of these consolidations and
eliminations. We would also like a report on the insurance program
that outlines the program, indicates when information collection is
required and what forms are used (flowcharts are recommended).
