Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 15 / Monday, January 26, 2009 / Notices 4473 

considers grant applications 2 times per 

year; respondents usually submit no 

more than one application per year. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

8,392 hours. 

Abstract: The NHPRC is changing the 

way it provides information about its 

grant program. The previously all 

inclusive grant guidelines booklet is 

being replaced by a suite of 

announcements where the information 

will be specific to the grant opportunity 

named. The basic information collection 

remains the same. The grant proposal is 

used by the NHPRC staff, reviewers, and 

the Commission to determine if the 

applicant and proposed project are 

eligible for an NHPRC grant, and 

whether the proposed project is 

methodologically sound and suitable for 

support. The narrative report is used by 

the NHPRC staff to monitor the 

performance of grants. 

You can also use NARA’s Web site at 

http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/ 

guidelines/index.html to review the 

guidelines. The forms used to apply for 

a grant can be found at http:// 

www.archives.gov/nhprc/forms/.
