Notice of Intent to Seek Approval for Information Collection on National Agricultural Library User Satisfaction
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The United States Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Library (NAL) has published a Federal Register notice announcing its intent to seek approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to renew an existing information collection. This collection is designed to evaluate user satisfaction with NAL websites, which serve as critical resources for agricultural research, education, and public information. The notice is issued in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-13) and OMB regulations codified at 5 CFR Part 1320. These provisions require federal agencies to publicly announce their intent before collecting information from the public and to demonstrate that such collections are necessary, not duplicative, and minimize burden on respondents. This is a renewal request rather than a new collection, indicating that NAL has previously conducted user satisfaction surveys and is seeking continued authorization. The public will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed collection, including its necessity, accuracy of burden estimates, and ways to enhance the quality and utility of the information gathered.
