Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: We have submitted a request to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for approval to continue to collect information from 
people requesting military records so that we can locate, identify, and 
provide the requested information. We invite you to comment on this 
proposed information collection.

DATES: OMB must receive written comments on or before March 24, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Send any comments and recommendations on the proposed 
information collection in writing to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. 
You can find this particular information collection by selecting 
``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using 
the search function.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tamee Fechhelm, Paperwork Reduction 
Act Officer, by email at [email protected] or by telephone at 
301.837.1694 with any requests for additional information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), we invite the public and other Federal agencies 
to comment on proposed information collections. We published a notice 
of proposed collection for this information collection on August 7, 
2020 (85 FR 47989) and we received no comments. We are therefore 
submitting the described information collection to OMB for approval.
    If you have comments or suggestions, they 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) 
our estimate of the burden of the proposed information collection and 
its accuracy; (c) ways we could enhance the quality, utility, and 
clarity of the information we collect; (d) ways we could minimize the 
burden on respondents of collecting the information, including through 
information technology; and (e) whether this collection affects small 
businesses.
    In this notice, we solicit comments concerning the following 
information collection:
    Title: Request Pertaining to Military Records.
    OMB number: 3095-0029.
    Agency form number: SF 180 and NA Form 13176; online form in 
eVetRecs is an electronic equivalent to the SF 180.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Individuals who request access to military 
records, military medical records, and medical records of military 
dependents.
    Estimated number of respondents: 953,328.
    Estimated time per response: 5 minutes.
    Frequency of response: On occasion (when an individual wishes to 
request information from military records, military medical records, or 
medical records of military dependents).
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 79,444 hours.
    Abstract: The general purpose of this voluntary data collection is 
to determine what is being requested, where records are located, what 
information is releasable, and where to send the response. When third 
parties submit requests, the information collected and provided serves 
as records of disclosure, which are required by the Privacy Act. The 
information collected via the SF 180 and eVetRecs is vital to our 
National Personnel Records Center, which stores and handles these 
records. We need this information to locate and release information 
from requested records. It also significantly improves our ability to 
provide timely and accurate information to requesters.

Swarnali Haldar,
Executive for Information Services/CIO.
