SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of

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.
In this notice, we solicit comments concerning the following
information collection:
Title: Statistical Research in Archival Records Containing Personal

Abstract: The information collection is prescribed by 36 CFR

biomedical statistical research in archival records containing highly
personal information. NARA needs the information to evaluate requests
for access to ensure that the requester meets the criteria in 36 CFR
1256.28 and that the proper safeguards will be made to protect the
information.
