SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information collections under OMB 

Control No. 1225–0013 provides for 

payment of fees and expenses to eligible 

parties who have prevailed against the 

Department in certain administrative 

proceedings. In order to obtain an 

award, the statute and associated 

regulations (29 CFR part 16) require the 

filing of an application. For additional 

substantive information about this ICR, 

see the related notice published in the 

Federal Register on December 6, 2023 

(88 FR 84833). 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless the OMB 

approves it and displays a currently 

valid OMB Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

DOL seeks PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) 

years. OMB authorization for an ICR 

cannot be for more than three (3) years 

without renewal. The DOL notes that 

information collection requirements 

submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. 

Agency: DOL–OASAM. 

Title of Collection: Equal Access to 

Justice Act. 

OMB Control Number: 1225–0013. 

Affected Public: Private Sector— 

Businesses or other for-profits.

Comment Request 

AGENCY: National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA). 

ACTION: Notice of a request for 

comments regarding an information 

collection. 

SUMMARY: We are renewing a generic 

information collection request (generic 

ICR) entitled Generic Clearance for 

NARA Public and Education Program 

Registration. This notice announces that 

we plan to submit this generic ICR plan 

to OMB for approval under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act and solicits 

comments on specific aspects of the 

collection plan. We will use this to 

collect information from individuals 

registering for an education or other 

program at NARA. 

DATES: We must receive written 

comments on or before April 29, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to 

Paperwork Reduction Act Comments 

(MP), Room 4100; National Archives 

and Records Administration; 8601 

Adelphi Road; College Park, MD 20740– 

6001, or by email to tamee.fechhelm@

nara.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Contact Tamee Fechhelm by telephone 

at 301–837–1694 with requests for 

additional information or copies of the 

proposed information collection and 

supporting statement. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(Pub. L. 104–13), we invite comments 

on: (a) whether collecting this 

information is necessary for proper 

performance of the agency’s functions, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of 

our estimate of the information 

collection’s burden on respondents; (c) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information we propose to 

collect; (d) ways to minimize the burden 

on respondents of collecting the 

information, including through the use 

of automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology; 

and (e) estimates of capital or start-up 

costs and costs of operation, 

maintenance, and purchase of services 

to provide information. Burden means 

the total time, effort, or financial 

resources people need to provide the 

information, including time to review 

instructions, process and maintain the 

information, search data sources, and 

respond. 

Explanation of Generic ICRs 

A generic ICR is a request for OMB to 

approve a plan for conducting more 

than one information collection using 

very similar methods when (1) we can 

evaluate the need for and the overall 

practical utility of the data in advance, 

as part of the review of the proposed 

plan, but (2) we cannot determine the 

details of the specific individual 

collections until a later time. Most 

generic clearances cover collections that 

are voluntary, low burden (based on a 

consideration of total burden, total 

respondents, or burden per respondent), 

and uncontroversial. This notice, for 

example, describes a general plan to 

gather registration information from 

members of the public who wish to 

participate in programs at NARA, 

through a series of registration forms 

used for a variety of current and future 

education programs at different 

facilities. As part of this plan, we 

construct, distribute, and use the 

registration forms in a similar manner, 

but customize each one for the type and 

location of the program involved. 

Because we seek public comment on 

the plan, we do not need to seek public 

comment on each specific information

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 41 / Thursday, February 29, 2024 / Notices 14905 

collection that falls within the plan 

when we later develop the individual 

information collection. This saves the 

Government time and burden, and it 

streamlines our ability to gather 

registration information so we can 

provide more responsive programs. 

However, we still submit each specific 

information collection (e.g., each form) 

to OMB for review, in accordance with 

the terms of clearance set upon approval 

of the plan. OMB assesses the 

individual forms for PRA requirements, 

ensures that they fit within the scope of 

this generic ICR plan, and includes the 

specific forms in the PRA public docket 

prior to our use of them. 

Specifics on This Information 

Collection 

Title: Generic Clearance for NARA 

Public and Education Program 

Registration. 

Description: This generic information 

collection request allows us to gather 

information from those members of the 

public who wish to register for public 

events, education programs, tours, and 

training sponsored by NARA. We will 

not use these forms for quantitative 

information collections designed to 

yield reliably actionable results, such as 

monitoring trends over time or 

documenting program performance. 

Purpose: Collecting this information 

allows us to register participants for 

NARA’s public, education, and training 

programs throughout the agency’s 

locations, and to collect and process 

credit card payments. The information 

is also used to develop mailing lists for 

distribution of education-related 

information and special NARA training 

events, based on the request or 

expressed interest of the person 

registering. Advance registration allows 

NARA offices to schedule the tours, 

training, and events to maximize the 

participants’ time and to accommodate 

the participants in the space. The 

information collected from registrants 

will help ensure that users have an 

effective, efficient, and satisfying 

experience with our programs, in 

compliance with E.O. 12862. Without 

the ability to collect this information, 

NARA would not be able to effectively 

organize events, resulting in possibly 

turning away members of the public 

from events that might be overbooked. 

Conditions: We will submit a specific 

information collection for approval 

under this generic clearance only if it 

meets the following conditions: 

• The collection is voluntary; 

• The collection is low-burden for 

respondents (based on considerations of 

total burden hours, total number of 

respondents, or burden-hours per 

respondent) and is low-cost for both the 

respondents and the Federal 

Government; 

• The collection is non-controversial 

and does not raise issues of concern to 

other Federal agencies; 

• Personally identifiable information 

(PII) is collected only to the extent 

necessary and is retained only for the 

period of time required by NARA 

records schedules; 

• Information gathered will be used 

only internally for program management 

purposes and is not intended for release 

outside of the agency; 

• Information gathered will not be 

used for the purpose of substantially 

informing influential policy decisions; 

and 

• Information gathered will yield 

qualitative information; the collections 

will not be designed or expected to 

yield statistically reliable results or used 

as though the results are generalizable to 

the population of study. 

As a general matter, information 

collections under this generic collection 

request will not result in any new 

system of records containing privacy 

information and will not ask questions 

of a sensitive nature, such as sexual 

behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, 

and other matters that are commonly 

considered private. In this notice, 

NARA solicits comments concerning the 

following information collection: 

Title: Generic Clearance for NARA 

Public and Education Program 

Registration. 

OMB number: 3095–0074. 

Agency form numbers: NA Forms 

2027, 2029, 2030, 2032, 11009, 11009C. 

Type of review: Regular. 

Projected affected public: Individuals 

or households, business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions, 

schools, Federal, State, local, or Tribal 

government organizations. 

Projected average estimates for the 

next three years: 

Average expected annual number of 

forms: 6. 

Average projected number of 

respondents per form: 1. 

Estimated number of respondents in 

total: 10,000. 

Estimated time per response: 10 

minutes. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

1,667 hours. 

Abstract: We offer a variety of 

education programs, public programs, 

tours, training, and events throughout 

the country. In order to register 

participants, we use various online and 

paper registration forms. Advance 

registration allows NARA offices to 

schedule the tours, training, and events 

to maximize the participants’ time and 

to accommodate the participants in the 

space.
