TITLE 44--PUBLIC PRINTING AND DOCUMENTS
CHAPTER 35--COORDINATION OF FEDERAL INFORMATION POLICY
SUBCHAPTER I--FEDERAL INFORMATION POLICY
Sec. 3509. Designation of central collection agency
The Director may designate a central collection agency to obtain
information for two or more agencies if the Director determines that the
needs of such agencies for information will be adequately served by a
single collection agency, and such sharing of data is not inconsistent
with applicable law. In such cases the Director shall prescribe (with
reference to the collection of information) the duties and functions of
the collection agency so designated and of the agencies for which it is
to act as agent (including reimbursement for costs). While the
designation is in effect, an agency covered by the designation may not
obtain for itself information for the agency which is the duty of the
collection agency to obtain. The Director may modify the designation
from time to time as circumstances require. The authority to designate
under this section is subject to the provisions of section 3507(f) of
this subchapter.
