SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), we invite comments proposed information
collections. Comments and suggestions should address one or more of the
following points: (a) Whether the proposed information is necessary for
NARA to properly perform its functions; (b) our estimates of the burden
of the proposed information collections and their accuracy; (c) ways we
could enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information we
collect; (d) ways we could minimize the burden on respondents of
collecting the information, including through information technology;
and (e) whether these collections affect small businesses. Burden means
the total time, effort, or financial resources people need to provide
the information, including time to review instructions, process and
maintain the information, search data sources, and respond.
We will summarize any comments you submit and include the summary
in our request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of
public record. For this reason, please do not include in your comments
information of a confidential nature, such as sensitive personal
information or proprietary information.
Explanation of Generic ICRs
A generic ICR is a request for OMB to approve a plan for conducting
more than one information collection using very similar methods when
(1) we can evaluate the need for and the overall practical utility of
the data in advance, as part of the review of the proposed plan, but
(2) we cannot determine the details of the specific individual
collections until a later time. Most generic clearances cover
collections that are voluntary, low-burden (based on a consideration of
total burden, total respondents, or burden per respondent), and
uncontroversial. This notice, for example, describes a general plan to
gather registration information from members of the public who wish to
participate in programs at NARA, through a series of registration forms
used for a variety of current and future education programs at
different facilities. As part of this plan, we construct, distribute,
and use the registration forms in a similar manner, but customize each
one for the type and location of the program involved.
Because we seek public comment on the plan, we do not need to seek
public comment on each specific information collection that falls
within the plan when we later develop the individual information
collection. This saves the Government time and burden, and it
streamlines our ability to gather registration information so we can
provide more responsive programs. However, we still submit each
specific information collection (e.g., each form) to OMB for review, in
accordance with the terms of clearance set upon approval of the plan.
OMB assesses the individual forms for PRA requirements, ensures that
they fit within the scope of this generic ICR plan, and includes the
specific forms in the PRA public docket prior to our use of them.
Specifics on This Information Collection
Title: Generic Clearance for NARA Public and Education Program
Registration.
Description: This generic information collection request allows us
to gather information from those members of the public who wish to
register for public events, education programs, tours, and training
sponsored by NARA. We will not use these forms for quantitative
information collections designed to yield reliably actionable results,
such as monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance.
Purpose: Collecting this information allows us to register
participants for NARA's public, education, and training programs
throughout the agency's locations, and to collect and process credit
card payments. The information is also used to develop mailing lists
for distribution of education-related information and special NARA
training events, based on the request or expressed interest of the
person registering. Advance registration allows NARA offices to
schedule the tours, training, and events to maximize the participants'
time and to accommodate the participants in the space. The information
collected from registrants will help ensure that users have an
effective, efficient, and satisfying experience with our programs, in
compliance with E.O. 12862. Without the ability to collect this
information, NARA would not be able to effectively organize events,
resulting in possibly turning away members of the public from events
that might be overbooked.
Conditions: We will submit a specific information collection for
approval under this generic clearance only if it meets the following
conditions:
<bullet> The collection is voluntary;
<bullet> The collection is low-burden for respondents (based on
considerations of total burden hours, total number of respondents, or
burden-hours per respondent) and is low-cost for both the respondents
and the Federal Government;
<bullet> The collection is non-controversial and does not raise
issues of concern to other Federal agencies;
<bullet> Personally identifiable information (PII) is collected
only to the extent necessary and is retained only for the period of
time required by NARA records schedules;
<bullet> Information gathered will be used only internally for
program management purposes and is not intended for release outside of
the agency;
<bullet> Information gathered will not be used for the purpose of
substantially informing influential policy decisions; and
<bullet> Information gathered will yield qualitative information;
the collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistically
reliable results or used as though the results are generalizable to the
population of study.
As a general matter, information collections under this generic
collection request will not result in any new system of records
containing privacy information and will not ask questions of a
sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes, religious
beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private. In
this notice, NARA solicits comments concerning the following
information collection:

Abstract: We offer a variety of education programs, public
programs, tours, training, and events throughout the country. In order
to register participants, we use various online and paper registration
forms. Advance registration allows NARA offices to schedule the tours,
training, and events to maximize the participants' time and to
accommodate the participants in the space.
