the end of Fiscal Year 1996. The average

burden per respondent was determined

from a pretest with a small number of

NPAs chosen to represent a variety of

respondents in terms of JWOD sales and

length of time participating in the

program. The mail survey will collect

data to measure direct and indirect

financial impacts in terms of increased

or reduced non-JWOD sales, induced or

suppressed charitable donations, and

shortfall or excess of JWOD revenues.

Other potential impacts to be measured

include effects on non-JWOD

production capacity, effects on

workplace conditions, and effects on the

agencies’ abilities to fulfill their overall

missions. Data is being collected for the

two years prior to participation in JWOD

and for the five most recent years of

participation.

Title: Survey of Organizations

Associated with NIB or NISH.

Type of Review: New Collection.

Frequency: One-time.

Affected Public: A sample of State,

local and private nonprofit agencies that

are affiliated with NIB or with NISH that

are not participating in the JWOD

Program.

Burden Estimate:

Responses: 275.

Total Burden Hours: 275 hours.

Average Burden per respondent: 1

hour.

Abstract: The burden estimate above

is based on an estimated number of

responses to a survey of 300 NPAs

affiliated with NISH and 5 NPAs

affiliated with NIB that are not

participating in the JWOD Program. The

average burden per respondent was

determined from a pretest with a small

number of NPAs chosen to represent a

variety of respondents in terms of size.

The mail survey collects data from

NPAs not participating in the JWOD

Program in order to make comparisons

with participating NPAs in the ‘‘after’’

time periods and to assess any

differences due to JWOD participation,

while accounting for geographic and

macro-economic factors using

environmental data obtained from

external sources. This survey also

collects financial and non-financial

information comparable to the

information in the above survey.

a severe economic impact on current

contractors for the commodities and

services.

authorizing small entities to furnish the

commodities and services to the

Government.

alternatives which would accomplish

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in
