NARA has submitted the described information collection to OMB for 
approval.
    In response to this notice, comments and suggestions should address

information collection is necessary for the proper performance of the 
functions of NARA; (b) the accuracy of NARA's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including the use of information technology. In this notice, NARA is 
soliciting comments concerning the following information collection:
    Title: Records Storage Facility Survey.
    OMB number: New.
    Agency form number: None.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Owners/operators of commercial records storage 
facilities that are small businesses.
    Estimated number of respondents: 263.
    Estimated time per response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency of response: One-time.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 66 hours.
    Abstract: The information collection is a survey of the 
characteristics of records storage facilities operated by small 
businesses. Respondents will be a random sample of owners/operators of 
such facilities. The survey information will be used by the NARA policy 
and technical staff to evaluate the construction materials, fire 
protection measures, and storage practices common in small business 
records centers against the existing standards in the NARA regulation 
on records center facility standards (36 CFR part 1228, subpart K). The 
information will be used in a regulatory flexibility analysis of 
possible alternatives to the existing standards and assessment of the 
ability of small business to comply with those alternatives.
