    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Graphicacy in Interactive

    Needs and Uses: Many modern jobs, including military duties, rely 
heavily on reading and interpreting simple data displays such as bar 
graphs, line graphs, and pie charts. However, there is no method for 
determining the ``reading level'' of a graph, as may be done for prose 
through multiple methods. We adapted a methodology for generating 
queries for a reading comprehension test to generate queries for graph 
comprehension. We seek to determine how well this methodology works by 
asking example queries of participants, and simultaneously measuring 
the difficulty associated with certain graph styles (e.g. multiple 
axes).
    Affected Public: Individuals and households.
    Annual Burden Hours: 125.
    Number of Respondents: 100.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 100.
    Average Burden per Response: 75 minutes.
    Frequency: As required.

    Dated: November 6, 2019.
