NAL follows applicable copyright laws

a fee, if applicable, for this service. To

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
