The public is invited to comment on the proposed

information collection pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before October 13, 1998
to be assured of consideration.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to: Paperwork Reduction Act Comments
(NHP), Room 3200, National Archives and Records Administration, 8601
Adelphi Rd, College Park, MD 20740-6001; or faxed to 301-713-6913; or

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or
copies of the proposed information collection and supporting statement
should be directed to Tamee Fechhelm at telephone number 301-713-6730,
or fax number 301-713-6913.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (Public Law 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; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on respondents, including the use of
information technology. The comments that are submitted will be
summarized and included in the NARA 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 Archives and Records Administration Class
Evaluation Forms.
OMB number: 3095-0023.
Agency form number: NA Forms 2019A, 2019B, 2019C, and 2019D.
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: 6,744.
Estimated time per response: 5 minutes.
Frequency of response: On occasion (when respondent takes NARA
sponsored training classes).
Estimated total annual burden hours: 562 hours.
Abstract: The information collection allows uniform measurement of
customer satisfaction with NARA training. NARA distributes the approved
forms to the course coordinators on diskette for customization of
selected elements, shown as shaded areas on the forms submitted for
clearance. NARA Form 2019A is used for courses having a single
instructor; Form 2019B is used for courses with two instructors team-
teaching, as is common in records management classes; and Form 2019C is
used for one-day courses with several topics that are taught by
different instructors or speakers, as is common with some archival and
genealogical workshops. These forms are distributed at the end of the
class for completion before the participant leaves. NARA Form 2019D is
used for courses held on multiple days with a variety of speakers or
instructors; this class format is used in the twice yearly Modern
Archives Institute and some genealogical courses. For these courses,
the daily evaluation form (NARA Form 2019D front) is distributed on a
daily basis so the student may provide a rating while the experience
with the material and instructor is fresh. The overall evaluation (NARA
Form 2019D back) is distributed at the end of the class. The enclosed
``Use of NARA Class Evaluation Form'' instructions identify the degree
of customization allowed on the forms.
