information collection pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before October 13, 1998 
to be assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to: Paperwork Reduction Act Comments 
(NHP), Room 3200, National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 
Adelphi Rd, College Park, MD 20740-6001; or faxed to 301-713-6913; or

should be directed to Tamee Fechhelm at telephone number 301-713-6730,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (Public Law 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 information collection 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 
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: National Archives and Records Administration Class 
Evaluation Forms.
    OMB number: 3095-0023.
    Agency form number: NA Forms 2019A, 2019B, 2019C, and 2019D.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Individuals or households, Business or other for-
profit, Nonprofit organizations and institutions, Federal, state, 
local, or tribal government agencies.
    Estimated number of respondents: 6,744.
    Estimated time per response: 5 minutes.
    Frequency of response: On occasion (when respondent takes NARA 
sponsored training classes).
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 562 hours.
    Abstract: The information collection allows uniform measurement of 
customer satisfaction with NARA training. NARA distributes the approved 
forms to the course coordinators on diskette for customization of 
selected elements, shown as shaded areas on the forms submitted for 
clearance. NARA Form 2019A is used for courses having a single 
instructor; Form 2019B is used for courses with two instructors team-
teaching, as is common in records management classes; and Form 2019C is 
used for one-day courses with several topics that are taught by 
different instructors or speakers, as is common with some archival and 
genealogical workshops. These forms are distributed at the end of the 
class for completion before the participant leaves. NARA Form 2019D is 
used for courses held on multiple days with a variety of speakers or 
instructors; this class format is used in the twice yearly Modern 
Archives Institute and some genealogical courses. For these courses, 
the daily evaluation form (NARA Form 2019D front) is distributed on a 
daily basis so the student may provide a rating while the experience 
with the material and instructor is fresh. The overall evaluation (NARA 
Form 2019D back) is distributed at the end of the class. The enclosed 
``Use of NARA Class Evaluation Form'' instructions identify the degree 
of customization allowed on the forms.
