supporting statements to Tamee Fechhelm, by telephone at 301-837-1694,

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 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; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on respondents, including the use of 
information technology; and (e) whether small businesses are affected 
by this collection. NARA will summarize and include submitted comments 
in our 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 Historical Publications and Records Commission 
(NHPRC) Grant Program, Budget Form, and Instructions.
    OMB number: 3095-0013.
    Agency form number: NA Form 17001.
    Type of review: Reinstatement of a previously cleared information 
collection.
    Affected public: Nonprofit organizations and institutions, state 
and local government agencies, and Federally-acknowledged or state-
recognized Native American tribes or groups, who apply for and receive 
NHPRC grants for support of historical documentary editions, archival 
preservation and planning projects, and other records projects.
    Estimated number of respondents: 144 per year submit applications; 
approximately 45 grantees need to submit revised budgets.
    Estimated time per response: 10 hours per application; 5 hours per 
revised budget.
    Frequency of response: On occasion for the application; as needed 
for revised budget. Currently, the NHPRC considers grant applications 2 
times per year. Respondents usually submit no more than one application 
per year, and, for those who need to submit revised budgets, only one 
revised budget per year.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 1,665 hours.
    Abstract: The NHPRC posts grant announcements to their Web site and 
to grants.gov (www.grants.gov), where the information will be specific 
to the grant opportunity named. The basic information collection 
remains the same. The NA Form 17001 is used by the NHPRC staff, 
reviewers, and the Commission to determine if the applicant and 
proposed project are eligible for an NHPRC grant, and whether the 
proposed project is methodologically sound and suitable for support.

    Dated: December 18, 2014.

Acting Executive for Information Services/CIO.
