SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), NARA invites the public and other Federal 
agencies to comment on proposed information collections. NARA published 
a notice of proposed collection for this information collection on 
December 24, 2014 (79 FR 77534 and 77535). We received no comments. We 
have submitted the described information collection 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 collection is necessary for NARA to properly perform its 
functions; (b) NARA's estimate of the burden of the proposed 
information collection and its accuracy; (c) ways NARA could enhance 
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information it collects; (d) 
ways NARA could minimize the burden on respondents of collecting the 
information, including through information technology; and (e) whether 
this collection affects small businesses. In this notice, NARA solicits 
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: May 13, 2015.

Executive for Information Services/CIO.
