Federal agencies to comment on proposed information collections. The 
comments and suggestions should address one or more of the following

for the proper performance of the functions of NARA; (b) the accuracy 
of NARA's estimate of the burden of the proposed information 
collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of 
the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of 
the collection of information on respondents, including the use of 
information technology. The comments that are submitted will be 
summarized and included in the NARA request for Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) approval. All comments will become a matter of public 
record. In this notice, NARA is soliciting comments concerning the 
following information collection:
    Title: NHPRC Budget Form and Instructions.
    OMB number: 3095-0004.
    Agency form number: NA Form 17001.
    Type of review: Reinstatement without change of a previously 
approved information collection which has expired.
    Affected public: Nonprofit organizations and institutions, state 
and local government agencies, Federally acknowledged or state-
recognized Native American tribes or groups, and individuals who apply 
for NHPRC grants for support of historical documentary editions, 
archival preservation and planning projects, and other records 
projects.
    Estimated number of respondents: 174.
    Estimated time per response: 3 hours.
    Frequency of response: On occasion (when respondent wishes to apply

    Abstract: The information collection is prescribed by 36 CFR 
1207.58. The collection is prepared by prospective grantees. The budget 
form is used by the NHPRC staff, reviewers, and the Commission to 
determine whether the proposed project is methodologically sound and 
suitable for support and as a basis for determining the amount of 
support to be provided.
