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: Presidential Library Facilities.
    OMB Number: 3095-0036.
    Agency Form Number: None.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Affected Public: Presidential library foundations or other entities 
proposing to transfer a Presidential library facility to NARA.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1.
    Estimated Time per Response: 31 hours.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 31 hours.

    Abstract: The information collection is required for NARA to meet 
its obligations under 44 U.S.C. 2112(a)(3) to submit a report to 
Congress before accepting a new Presidential library facility. The 
report contains information that can be furnished only by the 
foundation or other entity responsible for building the facility and 
establishing the library endowment.
    2. Title: Forms Relating to Military Service Records.
    OMB Number: 3095-0039.
    Agency Form Number: NA Forms 13036, 13042, 13055, and 13075.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Affected Public: Veterans, their authorized representatives, state 
and local governments, and businesses.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 79,800.
    Estimated Time per Response: 5 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion (when respondent wishes to 
request information from a military personnel, military medical, and 
dependent medical record).
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 6,650 hours.
    Abstract: The information collection is prescribed by 36 CFR 
1228.162. In accordance with rules issued by the Department of Defense 
(DoD) and the Department of Transportation (DoT, U.S. Coast Guard), the 
National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) of the National Archives and 
Records Administration (NARA) administers military personnel and 
medical records of veterans after discharge, retirement, and death. In 
addition, NPRC administers the medical records of dependents of service 
personnel. When veterans, dependents, and other authorized individuals 
request information from or copies of documents in military personnel, 
military medical, and dependent medical records, they must provide on 
forms or in letters certain information about the veteran and the 
nature of the request. A major fire at the NPRC on July 12, 1973, 
destroyed numerous military records. If individuals' requests involve 
records or information from records that may have been lost in the 
fire, requesters may be asked to complete NA Form 13075, Questionnaire 
about Military Service, or NA Form 13055, Request for Information 
Needed to Reconstruct Medical Data, so that NPRC staff can search 
alternative sources to reconstruct the requested information. 
Requesters who ask for medical records of dependents of service 
personnel and hospitalization records of military personnel are asked 
to complete NA Form 13042, Request for Information Needed to Locate 
Medical Records, so that NPRC staff can locate the desired records. 
Certain types of information contained in military personnel and 
medical records are restricted from disclosure unless the veteran 
provides a more specific release authorization than is normally 
required. Veterans are asked to complete NA Form 13036, Authorization 
for Release of Military Medical Patient Records, to authorize release 
to a third party of a restricted type of information found in the 
desired record.
    3. Title: NARA Visitors Study.
    OMB Number: 3095-0067.
    Agency Form Number: N/A.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Affected Public: Individuals who visit the National Archives 
Experience in Washington, DC.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 200.
    Estimated Time per Response: 12 minutes.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion (when an individual visits the 
National Archives Experience in Washington, DC).
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 40 hours.
    Abstract: The general purpose of this voluntary data collection is 
to benchmark the performance of the NAE in relation to other history 
museums. Information collected from visitors assesses the overall 
impact, expectations, presentation, logistics, motivation, demographic 
profile and learning experience. Once analysis is done, this collected 
information assists NARA in determining the NAE's success in achieving 
its goals.
