AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: NARA is giving public notice that the agency proposes to 
request extension of two currently approved information collections. 
The first information collection is used by customers/researchers for 
ordering reproductions of NARA's motion picture, audio, and video 
holdings that are housed in the Washington, DC area of the National 
Archives and Records Administration. The second information collection 
is the Microfilm Rental Order Form, NA Form 14127, used by customers/
researchers for renting roll(s) of a microfilm publication. The public 
is invited to comment on the proposed information collection pursuant 
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before July 16, 2007 to 
be assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to: Paperwork Reduction Act Comments 
(NHP), Room 4400, National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 
Adelphi Rd, College Park, MD 20740-6001; or faxed to 301-713-7409; or 
electronically mailed to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
copies of the proposed information collection and supporting statement 
should be directed to Tamee Fechhelm at telephone number 301-837-1694, 
or fax number 301-713-7409.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (Public Law 104-13), NARA invites the general public and other 
Federal agencies to comment on proposed information collections. The 
comments and suggestions should address one or more of the following 
points: (a) Whether the proposed 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; and (e) whether small businesses are affected 
by this collection. The comments that are submitted will be summarized 
and included in the NARA request for Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) approval. All comments will become a matter of public record. In 
this notice, NARA is soliciting comments concerning the following 
information collection:
    1. Title: Item Approval Request List.
    OMB number: 3095-0025.
    Agency form number: NA Form 14110 and 14110A.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Business or for-profit, nonprofit organizations 
and institutions, federal, state and local government agencies, and 
individuals or households.
    Estimated number of respondents: 2,816.
    Estimated time per response: 15 minutes.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 704 hours.
    Abstract: The information collection is prescribed by 36 CFR 
1254.72. The collection is prepared by researchers who cannot visit the 
appropriate NARA research room or who request copies of records as a 
result of visiting a research room. NARA offers limited provisions to 
obtain copies of records by mail and requires requests to be made on 
prescribed forms for certain bodies of records. NARA uses the Item 
Approval Request List form to track reproduction requests and to 
provide information for customers and vendors.
    2. Title: Microfilm Rental Order Form.
    OMB number: 3095-0059.
    Agency form number: NA Form 14127.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated number of respondents: 5,200.
    Estimated time per response: 10 minutes.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 867 hours.
    Abstract: The NARA microfilm publications provide ready access to

records for research in a variety of fields including history, 
economics, political science, law, and genealogy. NARA emphasizes 
microfilming groups of records relating to the same general subject or 
to a specific geographic area. For example, the decennial population 
censuses from 1790 to 1930 and their related indexes are available on 
microfilm. Census records constitute the vast majority of microfilmed 
records available currently through the rental program.
