    Title: Requests for Civilian Service Records (formerly Forms 
Relating to Civilian Service Records).
    OMB number: 3095-0037.
    Agency form number: NA Forms 13022, 13064, 13068.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Former Federal civilian employees, their 
authorized representatives, state and local governments, and 
businesses.
    Estimated number of respondents: 57,899.
    Estimated time per response: 5 minutes per form.

    Abstract: In accordance with rules issued by the Office of 
Personnel Management, the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) of 
the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) administers 
Official Personnel Folders (OPF) and Employee Medical Folders (EMF) of 
former Federal civilian employees. When former Federal civilian 
employees and other authorized individuals request information from or 
copies of documents in OPF or EMF, they must provide in their requests 
certain information about the employee and the nature of the request so 
that we can determine whether they are authorized to receive the 
information and so that we can find the correct records. The NA Form 
13022, Returned Request Form, is used to request additional information 
about the former Federal employee. The NA Form 13064, Reply to Request 
Involving Relief Agencies, is used to request additional information 
about the former relief agency employee. The NA Form 13068, Walk-In 
Request for OPM Records or Information, is used by members of the 
public, with proper authorization, to request a copy of a personnel or 
medical record.
