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, we solicit comments concerning the following information collection:

*Title:*                     Request Pertaining to Military Records.                

*OMB number:*                     3095-0029.                

*Agency form number:*                     SF 180 and NA Form 13176; online form in eVetRecs is an electronic equivalent to the SF 180.                

*Type of review:*                     Regular.                

*Affected public:*                     Individuals who request access to military records, military medical records, and medical records of military dependents.                

*Estimated number of respondents:*                     953,328.                

*Estimated time per response:*                     5 minutes.                

*Frequency of response:*                     On occasion (when an individual wishes to request information from military records, military medical records, or medical records of military dependents).                

*Estimated total annual burden hours:*                     79,444 hours.                

*Abstract:*                     The general purpose of this voluntary data collection is to determine what is being requested, where records are located, what information is releasable, and where to send the response. When third parties submit requests, the information collected and provided serves as records of disclosure, which are required by the Privacy Act. The information collected via the SF 180 and eVetRecs is vital to our National Personnel Records Center, which stores and handles these records. We need this information to locate and release information from requested records. It also significantly improves our ability to provide timely and accurate information to requesters.

Executive for Information Services/CIO.
