SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), NARA invites the general public and other 
Federal agencies to comment on proposed information collections. The 
comments and suggestions should address one or more of the following 
points: (a) Whether the proposed collection information is necessary 
for the proper performance of the functions of NARA; (b) the accuracy 
of NARA's estimate of the burden of the proposed information 
collections; (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 collections:
    1. Title: NHPRC Subvention Grant Guidelines and Application.
    OMB number: 3095-0021.
    Agency form number: N/A.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Universities and non-profit presses.
    Estimated number of respondents: 12.
    Estimated time per response: 9 hours.
    Frequency of response: On occasion. On the average, a press submits 
two subvention applications per year.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 180 hours.
    Abstract: The information collection is prescribed by 36 CFR 1206. 
The application is submitted by university and other non-profit presses 
applying to the NHPRC grant program for subvention of part of the costs 
of manufacturing and distributing volumes published by NHPRC-supported 
editorial projects.

    2. Title: NHPRC Annual Sales Reports for Subvention Grants.

    Affected public: Non-profit presses that have received an NHPRC 
subvention grant.
    Estimated number of respondents: 12.
    Estimated time per response: 2 hours.
    Frequency of response: One time only. On the average, a press has 
two on-going subvention grants and therefore submits two sales reports 
per year.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 120 hours.
    Abstract: The information collection is prescribed by 36 CFR 1206. 
The sales information provided by non-profit presses is used by 
Commission staff to gauge interest among scholars and the general 
public in documentary editions supported by Commission grants.
