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. NARA published a notice of proposed collection for this information collection on August 11, 1998 (63 FR 42882 and 42883). No comments were received. NARA has submitted the described information collection to OMB for approval. In response to this notice, 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. 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. Dated: October 27, 1998. L. Reynolds Cahoon, Assistant Archivist for Human Resources and Information Services. [FR Doc. 98-29668 Filed 11-4-98; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7515-01-P
