concerning the following information collection:
    Title: Contractor/Agency Reviewer Identification Badge 
Authorization.
    OMB number: 3095-NEW.
    Agency form number: NA Form 6000B.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Business or other for-profit, Federal government.
    Estimated number of respondents: 600.
    Estimated time per response: 3 minutes.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 30 hours.
    Abstract: The collection of information is necessary as a security 
measure to protect employees, information, and property in NARA 
facilities, and to facilitate the issuance of badges and cards. Use of 
the form is authorized by 44 U.S.C 2104. At the NARA College Park 
facility, individuals receive a proximity card with the identification 
badge that is electronically coded to permit access to secure zones 
ranging from a general nominal level to stricter access levels for 
classified records zones. The proximity card system is part of the 
security management system that meets the accreditation standards of 
the Government intelligence agencies for storage of classified 
information and serves to comply with E.O. 12958.
