NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION

[NARA-2017-008]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed extension request.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NARA proposes to request an extension from the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) of approval to use two information 
collections. The first is used by researchers who wish to do biomedical 
statistical research in archival records containing highly personal 
information. The second is prepared by organizations that want to make 
paper-to-paper copies of archival holdings with their personal copiers 
at the National Archives at the College Park facility. We invite you to 
comment on these proposed information collections pursuant to the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: We must receive written comments on or before January 30, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Paperwork Reduction Act Comments (ID), Room 
4400; National Archives and Records Administration; 8601 Adelphi Road; 
College Park, MD 20740-6001, fax them to 301-713-7409, or email them to 
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Contact Tamee Fechhelm by telephone at 
301-837-1694 or fax at 301-713-7409 with requests for additional 
information or copies of the proposed information collection and 
supporting statement.

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 collections are necessary for NARA to 
properly perform its functions; (b) NARA's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed information collections 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 these collections affect small businesses. We will 
summarize any comments you submit and include the summary in our 
request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of public 
record. In this notice, NARA solicits comments concerning the following 
information collections:
