SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), NARA invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to comment on proposed information collections. We
published a notice of proposed collection for this information
collection on August 16, 2018 (83 FR 40789); and we received no
comments. We have therefore submitted the described information
collection to OMB for approval.
In response to this notice, 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. 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: In the past, the National Archives has made use of
various lists of independent researchers who perform freelance research
for hire in the Washington, DC, area. We have sent these lists upon
request to researchers who could not travel to the metropolitan area to
conduct their own research. To better 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.
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.
Swarnali Haldar,
Executive for Information Services/CIO.
