1. Title: National Historical
Publications and Records Commission
(NHPRC) Grant Program Budget Form
and Instructions and NHPRC Grant
Offer Acknowledgement.
OMB number: 3095–0013.
Agency form number: NA Form 17001

preservation and planning projects, and
other records projects.
Estimated number of respondents:
244 per year submit applications;
approximately 25 grantees need to
submit revised budgets.
Estimated time per response: 10 hours
per application; 5 hours per revised
budget.
Frequency of response: On occasion
for the application; as needed for
revised budget. Currently, the NHPRC
considers grant applications 2 times per
year. Respondents usually submit no
more than one application per year, and,
for those who need to submit revised
budgets, only one revised budget per
year.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
1,765 hours.
Abstract: The NHPRC posts grant
announcements to their website and to
grants.gov (www.grants.gov), where the
information will be specific to the grant
opportunity named. The basic
information collection remains the
same. The NA Form 17001 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 NA Form 17001a, NHPRC
Grant Offer Acknowledgement, is used
after the Archivist of the United States,
as chair of the Commission,
recommends a grant for approval. The
prospective grantee must acknowledge
the offer of the grant and agree to meet
the requirements of applicable Federal
regulations. In addition, they must
verify the existence of an indirect cost
agreement with a cognizant Federal
agency if they are claiming indirect
costs in the project’s budget.
2. Title: Accounting System and
Financial Capability Questionnaire.
OMB number: 3095–0072.
Agency form numbers: NA Form
17003.
Type of review: Regular.
Affected public: Not-for-profit
institutions and State, local, or Tribal
government.
Estimated number of respondents: 75.

Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
300.

required to maintain adequate
accounting controls and systems in
managing and administering Federal
funds. Some of the recipients of grants
from the National Historical
Publications and Records Commission
(NHPRC) have proven to have limited
experience with managing Federal
funds. This questionnaire is designed to
identify those potential recipients and
provide appropriate training or
additional safeguards for Federal funds.
Additionally, the questionnaire serves
as a pre-audit function in identifying
potential deficiencies and minimizing
the risk of fraud, waste, abuse, or
mismanagement, which we use in lieu
of a more costly and time-consuming
formal pre-award audit.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Amundsen-Scott South Pole station is
one of three year-round stations
operated by the National Science
Foundation (NSF) as outlined in
Presidential Memorandum 6646. The
South Pole is a unique research site that
supports projects ranging from cosmic
observations to seismic and atmospheric
studies. The South Pole Station begins
austral summer operations in October of

each year. The station typically remains
in summer operating mode until early
February, at which point the eightmonth long winter season begins.
Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station
sits at the Earth’s axis on a shifting
continental ice sheet several miles thick.
At an elevation of 2,835 meters (9,300
feet), the South Pole has an average
monthly temperature in the austral
summer of ¥28 °C (¥18 °F); in the
austral winter, the average monthly
temperature is ¥60 °C (¥76 °F).
The NSF Office of Polar Programs has
identified the need for a South Pole
Station Master Plan. The master plan
looks at future infrastructure needs to
support groundbreaking science at the
South Pole, as well as phasing for
implementation. NSF will consider
input from the community before
completing the final plan later this year.
The final SPSMP will be posted online
at www.usap.gov along with the existing
Master Plans for NSF McMurdo Station
and NSF Palmer Station.
