OMB Number: 0518-0027.
Expiration Date of Approval: February 28, 2022.
Type of Request: To extend a currently approved information
collection process.
Abstract: In its role as both a preeminent agricultural research
library and a national library of the United States, NAL, which is part
of ARS, provides loans and copies of materials from its collections to
libraries and other institutions and organizations. NAL follows
applicable copyright laws and interlibrary loan guidelines, standards,
codes, and practices when providing loans and copies and charges a fee,
if applicable, for this service. To request a loan or copy,
institutions must provide a formal request to NAL using either NAL's
web-based online request system or an interlibrary loan request system
such as the Online Computer Library Center or the National Library of
Medicine's Docline. Information in these requests includes the name,
mailing address, email address, and telephone number of the party
requesting the material. The requestor must also provide a statement
acknowledging copyright compliance, bibliographic information for the
material they are requesting, and the maximum dollar amount they are
willing to pay for the material. The collected information is used to
deliver the material to the requestor, monitor the return of loaned
material to NAL, and identify and locate the requested material in NAL
collections.
Estimate of Burden: Average 1.00 minute per response.
Description of Respondents: Respondents to the collection of
information are libraries, institutions, or organizations that request
interlibrary loans or copies of material in the NAL collections. Each
respondent must furnish the information for each loan or copying
request.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 196.
Frequency of Responses: Average nine per respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 30 hours.
Comments: Comments are invited on (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have a practical use; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of information including the validity
of the methodology and assumptions used; (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
those who respond, such as through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques.
Comments may be sent to Kay Derr at the address listed above within 60
days of the date of publication. All responses to this notice will be
summarized and included in the request for OMB approval. All comments
will also become a matter of public record.
Simon Y. Liu,
Acting Administrator, ARS.
