NARA is giving public notice that the agency proposes to request use of a voluntary survey of visitors to the National Archives Experience (NAE) in Washington, DC. The information will be used to determine how the various components of the NAE affect visitors' level of satisfaction with the NAE and how effectively the venues communicate that records matter. The information will support adjustments in our offerings that will improve the overall visitor experience. The public is invited to comment on the proposed information collection pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

This bulletin cancels FMR Bulletin 2003-B1, Locating Federal Facilities in Rural Areas. FMR Bulletin 2003-B1 assisted Federal agencies, having their own statutory authority to acquire real property, in complying with the Rural Development Act of 1972. The ``rural area'' definition is outdated and the revised definition was published in 41 CFR 102-83.55, Rural Areas, Real Property Policies Update, on November 2, 2005. FMR Bulletin 2003-B1 is being cancelled in its entirety to ensure that agencies refer to 41 CFR 102-83.55 for the definition of rural areas. There will be no replacement bulletin for cancelled bulletin FMR 2003-B1, Locating Federal Facilities in Rural Areas.

The NRC is preparing a submittal to OMB for review of continued approval of information collections under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). Information pertaining to the requirement to be submitted: 1. The title of the information collection: 10 CFR Part 75 Safeguards on Nuclear Material, Implementation of US/IAEA Agreement. 2. Current OMB approval number: OMB 3150-0055. 3. How often the collection is required: Reporting is done when specified events occur.

Is the proposed collection of information necessary for the NRC to properly perform its functions? Does the information have practical utility? 2. Is the burden estimate accurate? 3.
