[[Page 66596]]
(Pub. L. 104-13), we invite the public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed information collections. 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 the collection affects 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, we solicit comments concerning the following
information collection:
Title: Independent researcher listing application.
OMB number: 3095-0054.
Agency form numbers: NA Form 14115 (Independent Researcher Listing
Application).
Type of review: Regular.
Affected public: Individuals or households.
Estimated number of respondents: 300.
Estimated time per response: 10 minutes.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total annual burden hours: 50 hours.
Abstract: Collecting information to populate the independent
researcher application listing is a service we provide to researchers
and those who wish to hire them. In the past, at the request of
customers, the National Archives made use of various lists of
independent researchers who perform freelance research for hire in the
Washington, DC, area. We 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 in this
process, the Archival Operations division of the National Archives
began to maintain a listing of independent researchers who wished to
participate. To populate that list, we allow interested independent
researchers to provide their contact information for this purpose on NA
Form 14115. Collecting contact and other key information from each
independent researcher and providing such information to the public
when appropriate increases researcher business. This form is voluntary
and is not a burden to an independent researcher who chooses to submit
one. Inclusion on the list is not an endorsement by NARA. The listing
is compiled and disseminated as a service to the public.
Swarnali Haldar,
Executive for Information Services/CIO.
