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.

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.
Dated: May 28, 2015.

Executive for Information Services/CIO.
