Abstract
NARA is proposing to request that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) renew approval of an information collection our Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) uses to obtain customer intake information and consent as part of its mediation services program. OGIS collects customer name, contact information, case number, information on the customer's concern areas/resolution goals, and documents relating to the underlying Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act request or appeal as part of its intake process in order to provide mediation services. In some cases, customers also complete a privacy consent form, NA Form 10003, authorizing OGIS to make inquiries on the customer's behalf and authorizing agencies to release to OGIS information and records related to their FOIA/Privacy Act requests and appeals. We invite you to comment on this proposed information collection.

Comment Request
AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: NARA is proposing to request that the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) renew approval of an information collection our Office of
Government Information Services (OGIS) uses to obtain customer intake
information and consent as part of its mediation services program. OGIS
collects customer name, contact information, case number, information
on the customer's concern areas/resolution goals, and documents
relating to the underlying Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act
request or appeal as part of its intake process in order to provide
mediation services. In some cases, customers also complete a privacy
consent form, NA Form 10003, authorizing OGIS to make inquiries on the
customer's behalf and authorizing agencies to release to OGIS
information and records related to their FOIA/Privacy Act requests and
appeals. We invite you to comment on this proposed information
collection.
DATES: We must receive written comments on or before September 27,
2022.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Paperwork Reduction Act Comments (MP), Room
4100; National Archives and Records Administration; 8601 Adelphi Road;
College Park, MD 20740-6001, or email them to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#1460757971713a7271777c7c717879547a7566753a737b62"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="3743565a5252195152545f5f525b5a775956455619505841">[email protected]</span></a>.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Contact Tamee Fechhelm by telephone at
301-837-1694 with requests for additional information or copies of the
proposed information collection and supporting statement.
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. The comments and
suggestions should address one or more of the following points: (a)
whether we need the proposed information collection to properly perform
our agency 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. 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: Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request for Assistance and
Consent.
OMB number: 3095-0068.
Agency form number: NA Form 10003.
Type of review: Regular.
Affected public: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit,
[[Page 45805]]
not-for-profit institutions, and Federal Government.
Estimated number of respondents: 3,676.
Estimated time per response: Ten minutes.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total annual burden hours: 609 hours (3,646 responses x
10 minutes/by 60 = 608 and 30 responses x 2 minutes/by 60 = 1).
Abstract: In order to fulfill its Government-wide statutory mission
to mediate FOIA disputes between requesters and agencies, OGIS must
communicate with Government departments and agencies regarding the
customer's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)/Privacy Act of 1974
request or appeal. As a result, OGIS collects intake information from
customers who request OGIS's mediation services. This information
includes the customer's name, contact information, FOIA case number,
information on the customer's concern areas/resolution goals, and
documents relating to the underlying Freedom of Information Act/Privacy
Act request or appeal. Customers provide this information by phone,
fax, email, or mail.
OGIS and other agencies must handle FOIA and Privacy Act-protected
case information in conformity with the requirements of the FOIA and
Privacy Act, including 5 U.S.C. 552a(b), which prohibits agencies from
releasing Privacy Act-protected information without an already-
established routine use or consent of the person to whom the
information pertains. In accord with this requirement, a subset of
customers also must fill out a privacy consent form, NA Form 10003, if
dealing with an agency that has not published a system of records
notice with a routine use for release of information to OGIS.
OGIS uses the information customers provide in this information
collection to contact customers, request information on the customer's
case from other Federal agencies, and provide the requested assistance.
Without the information submitted in the intake process and the consent
form, OGIS would be unable to get the information from other agencies
or fulfill its mediation mission.
Swarnali Haldar,
Executive for Information Services/CIO.
