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 these information collections on November 1,
2024 (89 FR 87427) and we received no comments. We are therefore
submitting the described information collections 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
collections are necessary for NARA to properly perform its functions;
(b) our estimate of the burden of the proposed information collections
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 these collections affect small
businesses.

Abstract: In the past, the National Archives has made use of
various lists of independent researchers who perform freelance research
for hire in the Washington, DC, area. We have sent these lists upon
request to researchers who could not travel to the metropolitan area to
conduct their own research. To better accommodate both the public and
NARA staff, the Archival Operations division of the National Archives
maintains a listing of independent researchers for the public. All
interested independent researchers provide their contact information
via this form. Collecting contact and other key information from each
independent researcher and providing such information to the public
when deemed appropriate will only increase business. This form is not a
burden in any way to any independent researcher who voluntarily submits
a completed form. Inclusion on the list will not be viewed or
advertised as an endorsement by the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA). The listing is compiled and disseminated as a
service to the public.

Acting Executive for Information Services/CIO.
