as part of its mediation services program. We invite you to comment on
the proposed information collection.
DATES: OMB must receive written comments on or before December 12,
2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tamee Fechhelm, Paperwork Reduction
Act Officer, by email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#e49085898181ca8281878c8c818889a48a859685ca838b92"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="7004111d15155e1615131818151c1d301e1102115e171f06">[email protected]</span></a> 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 July 29, 2022
(87 FR 45804) 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: Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request for Assistance and
Consent.
OMB number: 3095-0068.
Included agency form: NA Form 10003, Consent to Make Inquiries and
Release of Information and Records.
Type of review: Regular.
Affected public: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit, 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.
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 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 FOIA/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.
Sheena Burrell,
Executive for Information Services/CIO.
