Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We have submitted a request to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for approval to continue to collect information used by 
registrants or other authorized individuals to request information from 
or copies of Selective Service System (SSS) records. We invite you to 
comment on this proposed information collection.

DATES: OMB must receive written comments on or before August 29, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Send any comments and recommendations on the proposed 
information collection in writing to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. 
You can find this particular information collection by selecting 
``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using 
the search function.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tamee Fechhelm, Paperwork Reduction 
Act Officer, by email at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#3541545850501b5350565d5d505958755b5447541b525a57"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="1b6f7a767e7e357d7e7873737e77765b757a697a357c7479">[email&#160;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 (Public Law 104-13), we invite the general public and other 
Federal agencies to comment on proposed information collections. We 
published a notice of proposed collection for this information 
collection on May 16, 2024 (89 FR 42903) and we received one comment. 
The commenter stated, ``The Selective Service System would like to 
share a comment on the above-captioned matter submitted by NARA to the 
Federal Register regarding NARA's Form NA13172. The Agency recommends 
that NARA add, as a required field, the social security numbers as a 
field within the form to ensure the correct information is pulled when 
answering public inquires for information.''
    We have considered this comment and provided this response ``Social 
Security Numbers (SSNs) are a rarity on the Selective Service System 
Registration Cards and Classification Ledgers in our holdings. Adding a 
required SSN field is unnecessarily restrictive as it will not assist 
in verifying the correct record has been pulled in most instances. We 
verify the correct record has been pulled by comparing the Registrant's 
full name, date of birth, and home address at the time of registration, 
as listed on each NA Form 13172 received, to the information on the 
document(s) requested.''
    This comment does not change the purpose of the information 
collection or change the information we collect from researchers who 
are requesting access to archival records. We have therefore submitted 
the described information collection to OMB for approval. We will 
continue requesting as much record-identifying information from 
researchers as possible, pursuant to this information collection, to 
aid us in finding the documents researchers seek, including the SSS 
records this researcher mentions.
    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: Selective Service System Record Request.
    OMB number: 3095-0071.
    Agency form numbers: NA Form 13172.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Individuals or households.
    Estimated number of respondents: 1,737.
    Estimated time per response: 2 minutes.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 58.
    Abstract: The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) of the 
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) administers the 
Selective Service System (SSS) records. The SSS records contain both 
classification records and registration cards of registrants born 
before January 1, 1960. When registrants or other authorized 
individuals request information from or copies of SSS records they must 
provide on forms or letters certain information about the registrant 
and the nature of the request. Requesters use NA Form 13172, Selective 
Service Record Request to obtain information from SSS records stored at 
NARA facilities.

Executive for Information Services/CIO.
