(Pub. L. 104-13), NARA invites the general public and other Federal 
agencies to comment on proposed information collections. NARA published 
a notice of proposed collection for this information collection on May

submitted the described information collections to OMB for approval.
    In response to this notice, comments and suggestions should address 
one or more of the following points: (a) Whether the proposed 
information collections are necessary for the proper performance of the 
functions of NARA; (b) the accuracy of NARA's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed information collections; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including the use of information technology; and (e) whether small

    Estimated total annual burden hours: 65.
    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 Customer Services Division (NWCC) 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.

    Dated: July 23, 2009.

Assistant Archivist for Information Services.
