                the following four points:
                --Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary

                proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
                methodology and assumptions used;
                --Evaluate whether and if so how the quality, utility, and clarity of
                the information proposed to be collected can be enhanced; and
                --Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
                to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
                electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
                other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic

                well as a brief abstract:
                 Affected public (Primary): Business or other for-profit.
                 Affected public (Other): None.
                 Abstract: The DEA collects information in regards to reporting and
                recordkeeping for digital certificates. The application for a digital
                certificate is required to ensure that the person applying for the
                certificate is either a DEA registrant or someone who has power of
                attorney from a DEA registrant to sign orders for Schedule I and II
                substances. The DEA Certification Authority uses the information to
                verify the person's identity and eligibility to hold a DEA-issued
                digital certificate.
                 5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
                time estimated for an average respondent to respond: The DEA estimates
                10,064 respondents complete 26,959 responses annually, on an as-needed
                basis--on average 2.68 responses per respondent per year. Each response
                takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete, for an average per-
                respondent annual total of 4.02 hours.
                 6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
                with the proposed collection: The DEA estimates that this collection
                takes 40,439 annual burden hours.
