    Title: Consent to Make Inquiries and Release of Information and 
Records.
    OMB number: 3095-0068.
    Agency Form Number: NA Form 10003.
    Type of Review: Regular.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit, not-for-profit institutions, and Federal Government.

    Abstract: In order to fulfill its Government-wide statutory 
mission, OGIS provides varying types of assistance to its customers, 
which requires communicating with Government departments and agencies 
regarding the customer's FOIA/Privacy Act request/appeal. Under the 
Privacy Act, the agencies may not share peoples' personal information 
without either a routine use that they inform people of prior to 
gathering the information, or permission from the involved person. As a 
result, OGIS uses NA Form 10003 to collect that authorization and the 
identifying information necessary for the agency to identify the 
correct files so that OGIS may provide the requested assistance. 
Without the information submitted in NA Form 10003, OGIS would be 
unable to fulfill its mission or provide assistance to requesters. 
Requesters use the NA Form 10003, OGIS Consent to Make Inquiries and 
Release of Information and Records, to (1) request that OGIS make 
inquiries on their behalf and (2) authorize agencies to release records 
and information related to their FOIA and Privacy Act requests and 
appeals so that OGIS can assist in resolving the dispute or in 
providing information to the requester. The authority for this 
information collection is prescribed by 5 U.S.C. 552a(b), and as 
interpreted by Taylor v. Orr, No. 83-0389, 1983 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 20334, 
at *6 n.6 (D.D.C. Dec. 5, 1983.
