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. NARA 
published a notice of proposed collection for these information 
collections on November 16, 1999 (64 FR 62222 and 62223). No comments 
were received. NARA has submitted the described information collections 
to OMB for approval.
    In response to this notice, comments and suggestions should address 
one or more of the following points: (a) Whether the proposed 
information collections are 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. In this notice, NARA is 
soliciting comments concerning the following information collections:
    1. Title: National Archives and Records Administration Class 
Evaluation Forms.
    OMB number: 3095-0023.
    Agency form number: NA Form 2019.
    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: 6,400.
    Estimated time per response: 5 minutes.

[[Page 4628]]

    Frequency of response: On occasion (when respondent takes NARA 
sponsored training classes).
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 533 hours.
    Abstract: The information collection allows uniform measurement of 
customer satisfaction with NARA training. NARA distributes the approved 
form to the course coordinators on diskette for customization of 
selected elements, shown as shaded areas on the form submitted for 
clearance.
    2. Title: National Archives Order for Land Claim Records
    OMB number: 3095-0033.
    Agency form number: NATF 84.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Individuals who wish to order copies of land claim 
records in the National Archives of the United States.
    Estimated number of respondents: 10,000.
    Estimated time per response: 10 minutes.
    Frequency of response: On occasion (when respondent wishes to 
search for or order copies of land claim records).
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 1,667 (rounded off number).
    Abstract: The NATF form 84 is used by researchers to request that 
NARA search for and make copies of pages from Federal land entry case 
files (land claim records) in the custody of the National Archives. 
These records generally date from 1800 to approximately 1965. 
Submission of requests on a form is necessary to handle in a timely 
fashion the volume of requests received for these records 
(approximately 10,000 per year) and the need to obtain specific 
information from the researcher to search for the records sought. The 
form will be printed on carbonless paper as a multi-part form to allow 
the researcher to retain a copy of his request and NARA to respond to 
the researcher on the results of the search or to bill for copies if 
the researcher wishes to order the copies. As a convenience, the form 
will allow researchers to provide credit card information to authorize 
billing and to expedite mailing of the copies. NARA is working on a 
system to accept electronic submission of requests.
