SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), NARA invites the 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 NARA to 
properly perform its functions; (b) NARA's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed information collection and its accuracy; (c) ways NARA 
could enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information it 
collects; (d) ways NARA could minimize the burden on respondents of 
collecting the information, including through information technology; 
and (e) whether the collection affects small businesses. We will 
summarize any comments you submit and include the summary in our 
request for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval. All 
comments will become a matter of public record. In this notice, NARA 
solicits comments concerning the following information collection:
    Title: Independent Researcher Listing Application.
    OMB number: 3095-0054.
    Agency form numbers: NA Form 14115.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated number of respondents: 458.
    Estimated time per response: 10 minutes.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 76.
    Abstract: To accommodate both the public and NARA staff, the 
Customer Services Division (RD-DC) of the National Archives maintains a 
listing of independent researchers for the public. We make use of 
various lists of independent researchers who perform freelance research 
for hire in the Washington, DC, area and send them, upon request, to 
researchers who cannot travel to the metropolitan area to conduct their 
own research. All interested independent researchers provide their 
contact information via this form. Collecting contact and other key 
information from each independent researcher and providing such 
information to the public when deemed appropriate will only increase 
business. This form is not a burden in any way to any independent 
researcher who voluntarily submits a completed form. Inclusion on the 
list will not be viewed or advertised as an endorsement by the National 
Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The listing is compiled and 
disseminated as a service to the public.
