information collection is necessary for NARA to properly perform its 
functions; (b) the accuracy of our estimate of the information 
collection's burden on respondents; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information we propose to collect; (d) ways 
to minimize the burden on respondents of collecting the information, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) whether the collection affects 
small businesses. In this notice, NARA solicits comments concerning the 
following information collection:
