SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of

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 prescribed by regulation in 36 CFR 1228.164:
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.
Frequency of response: On occasion, when individuals desire to
acquire information from Federal civilian employee personnel or medical
records.
Estimated total annual burden hours: 4,824 hours.
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.
Swarnali Haldar,
Executive for Information Services/CIO.
