1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed, and
continuing information collections, which helps us assess the impact of
our information collection requirements and minimize the public's
reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested via the
Federal Register on February 16, 2023, during a 60-day comment period.
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments.

Commerce.

performance measures and report to Congress and stakeholders the

Policymaking Act of 2018 (Pub. L. 115-435) further emphasizes the
importance of updating existing methodologies for performance
measurement and program evaluation to align with evolving best
