SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (Pub. L. 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 collections are necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of NARA; (b) the accuracy
of NARA's estimate of the burden of the proposed information
collections; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on respondents, including the use of
information technology; and (e) whether small businesses are affected
by these collections. NARA will summarize and include submitted
comments in our 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:
1. Title: National Historical Publications and Records Commission
(NHPRC) Grant Program Budget Form and Instructions and NHPRC Grant
Offer Acknowledgement.
OMB number: 3095-0013.
Agency form number: NA Form 17001 and 17001a.
Type of review: Regular.
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: 244 per year submit applications;
approximately 25 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: 1,765 hours.
Abstract: The NHPRC posts grant announcements to their website and
to <a href="http://grants.gov">grants.gov</a> (<a href="http://www.grants.gov">www.grants.gov</a>), 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.
The NA Form 17001a, NHPRC Grant Offer Acknowledgement, is used after
the Archivist of the United States, as chair of the Commission,
recommends a grant for approval. The prospective grantee must
acknowledge the offer of the grant and agree to meet the requirements
of applicable Federal regulations. In addition, they must verify the
existence of an indirect cost agreement with a cognizant Federal agency
if they are claiming indirect costs in the project's budget.
2. Title: Accounting System and Financial Capability Questionnaire.
OMB number: 3095-0072.
Agency form numbers: NA Form 17003.
Type of review: Regular.
Affected public: Not-for-profit institutions and State, local, or
Tribal government.
Estimated number of respondents: 75.
Estimated time per response: 4 hours.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total annual burden hours: 300.
Abstract: Pursuant to the title 2, section 215 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher
Education, Hospitals, and Other Non-Profit Organizations (formerly
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-110) and Office of
Management and Budget Circular A-

133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations,
grant recipients are required to maintain adequate accounting controls
and systems in managing and administering Federal funds. Some of the
recipients of grants from the National Historical Publications and
Records Commission (NHPRC) have proven to have limited experience with
managing Federal funds. This questionnaire is designed to identify
those potential recipients and provide appropriate training or
additional safeguards for Federal funds. Additionally, the
questionnaire serves as a pre-audit function in identifying potential
deficiencies and minimizing the risk of fraud, waste, abuse, or
mismanagement, which we use in lieu of a more costly and time-consuming
formal pre-award audit.
