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 these collections. In this notice, NARA is 
soliciting comments concerning the following information collections:
    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.

    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.

    Abstract: The NARA microfilm publications provides 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.
