SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), NARA invites 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 the proposed information collections are necessary for NARA to
properly perform its functions; (b) NARA's estimate of the burden of
the proposed information collections and its accuracy; (c) ways NARA
could enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information it
collects; (d) ways NARA could minimize the burden on respondents of
collecting the information, including through information technology;
and (e) whether these collections 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, NARA solicits comments concerning the following
information collection:
Title: Request Pertaining to Military Records.
OMB number: 3095-0029.
Agency form number: SF 180 & NA Form 13176.
Type of review: Regular.
Affected public: Veterans, their authorized representatives, State
and local governments, and businesses.
Estimated number of respondents: 871,294.
Estimated time per response: 5 minutes.
Frequency of response: On occasion (when respondent wishes to
request information from a military personnel record).
Estimated total annual burden hours: 72,607 hours.
Abstract: The authority for this information collection is
contained in 36 CFR 1233.18(d). In accordance with rules issued by the
Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS,
US Coast Guard), the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) of the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) administers
military service records of veterans after discharge, retirement, and
death. When veterans and other authorized individuals request
information from or copies of documents in military service records,
they must provide in forms or in letters certain information about the
veteran and the nature of the request. Federal agencies, military
departments, veterans, veterans' organizations, and the general public
use Standard Forms (SF) 180, Request Pertaining to Military Records, in
order to obtain information from military service records stored at
NPRC. Veterans and next-of-kin of deceased veterans can also use
eVetRecs (<a href="http://www.archives.gov/research_room/vetrecs/">http://www.archives.gov/research_room/vetrecs/</a>) to order
copies. NA Form 13176, Status Update to Request for Military Service
Records, was added to allow the veteran or other authorized individuals
to follow-up on their request.

Executive for Information Services/CIO.
