SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title: Information Collection for Document Delivery Services.

    Expiration Date of Approval: January 31, 2025.
    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 (part of the 
USDA's 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 those 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 9 per respondent.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 29 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 utility; (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 are to respond, such as through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques. Comments may be sent to Manuel Jusino 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.

Marlen Eve,
Acting Associate Administrator, Agricultural Research Service.
