11910 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 49 / Wednesday, March 14, 2007 / Notices 

agencies to comment on proposed 

information collections. NARA 

published a notice of proposed 

collection for this information collection 

on December 28, 2006 (71 FR 78225 and 

78226). No comments were received. 

NARA has submitted the described 

information collection 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 businesses are affected by these 

collections. In this notice, NARA is 

soliciting comments concerning the 

following information collection: 

1. Title: Applicant Background 

Survey. 

OMB number: 3095–0045. 

Agency form number: NA Form 3035. 

Type of review: Regular. 

Affected public: Individuals and 

households. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

5,547. 

Estimated time per response: 5 

minutes. 

Frequency of response: On occasion 

(when applicant wishes to apply for a 

job at NARA). 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

460 hours. 

Abstract: NARA is below parity with 

the relevant Civilian Labor Force 

representation for many of our mission 

critical occupations, and has developed 

a 10 year Strategic Plan to improve 

representation and be more responsive 

to the changing demographics of the 

country. The only way to determine if 

there are barriers in the recruitment and 

selection process is to track the groups 

that apply and the groups at each stage 

of the selection process. There is no 

other objective way to make these 

determinations and no source of this 

information other than directly from 

applicants. 

The information is not provided to 

selecting officials and plays no part in 

the selection of individuals. Instead, it 

is used in summary form to determine 

trends over many selections within a 

given occupation or organizational area. 

The information is treated in a very 

confidential manner. No information 

from this form is entered into the 

Personnel File of the individual 

selected, and the records of those not 

selected are destroyed after the 

conclusion of the selection process. 

The format of the questions on 

ethnicity and race are compliant with 

the OMB requirements and are identical 

to those used in the year 2000 census. 

This form is a simplification and update 

of a similar OPM applicant background 

survey used by NARA for many years. 

This form is used to obtain source of 

recruitment, ethnicity, race, and 

disability data on job applicants to 

determine if the recruitment is 

effectively reaching all aspects of the 

relevant labor pool and to determine if 

there are proportionate acceptance rates 

at various stages of the recruitment 

process. Response is optional. The 

information is used for evaluating 

recruitment only, and plays no part in 

the selection of who is hired. 

2. Title: Personal Identity Verification 

(PIV) Request. 

OMB number: 3095–0057. 

Agency form number: NA Form 6006. 

Type of review: Regular. 

Affected public: Individuals or 

households, Business or other for-profit, 

Federal government. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,500. 

Estimated time per response: 3 

minutes. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

75 hours. 

Abstract: The collection of 

information is necessary as to comply 

with HSPD–12 requirements. Use of the 

form is authorized by 44 U.S.C. 2104. At 

the NARA College Park facility, 

individuals receive a proximity card 

with the Federal Identity Card (FIC) that 

is electronically coded to permit access 

to secure zones ranging from a general 

nominal level to stricter access levels for 

classified records zones. The proximity 

card system is part of the security 

management system that meets the 

accreditation standards of the 

Government intelligence agencies for 

storage of classified information and 

serves to comply with E.O. 12958.

BILLING CODE 7515–01–P 

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS 

ADMINISTRATION 

Records Schedules; Availability and 

Request for Comments 

AGENCY: National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability of 

proposed records schedules; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) 

publishes notice at least once monthly 

of certain Federal agency requests for 

records disposition authority (records 

schedules). Once approved by NARA, 

records schedules provide mandatory 

instructions on what happens to records 

when no longer needed for current 

Government business. They authorize 

the preservation of records of 

continuing value in the National 

Archives of the United States and the 

destruction, after a specified period, of 

records lacking administrative, legal, 

research, or other value. Notice is 

published for records schedules in 

which agencies propose to destroy 

records not previously authorized for 

disposal or reduce the retention period 

of records already authorized for 

disposal. NARA invites public 

comments on such records schedules, as 

required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a). 

DATES: Requests for copies must be 

received in writing on or before April 

13, 2007. (Note that the new time period 

for requesting copies has changed from 

45 to 30 days after publication). Once 

the appraisal of the records is 

completed, NARA will send a copy of 

the schedule. NARA staff usually 

prepare appraisal memorandums that 

contain additional information 

concerning the records covered by a 

proposed schedule. These, too, may be 

requested and will be provided once the 

appraisal is completed. Requesters will 

be given 30 days to submit comments. 

ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of 

any records schedule identified in this 

notice by contacting the Life Cycle 

Management Division (NWML) using 

one of the following means: 

Mail: NARA (NWML), 8601 Adelphi 

Road, College Park, MD 20740–6001. 

E-mail: requestschedule@nara.gov. 

FAX: 301–837–3698. 

Requesters must cite the control 

number, which appears in parentheses 

after the name of the agency which 

submitted the schedule, and must 

provide a mailing address. Those who 

desire appraisal reports should so 

indicate in their request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year 

Federal agencies create billions of 

records on paper, film, magnetic tape, 

and other media. To control this 

accumulation, agency records managers 

prepare schedules proposing retention 

periods for records and submit these 

schedules for NARA’s approval, using 

the Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for 

Records Disposition Authority. These 

schedules provide for the timely transfer 

into the National Archives of 

historically valuable records and 

authorize the disposal of all other 

records after the agency no longer needs 

them to conduct its business. Some 

schedules are comprehensive and cover 

all the records of an agency or one of its 

major subdivisions. Most schedules, 

however, cover records of only one 

office or program or a few series of 

records. Many of these update 

previously approved schedules, and 

some include records proposed as 

permanent. 

No Federal records are authorized for 

destruction without the approval of the 

Archivist of the United States. This 

approval is granted only after a 

thorough consideration of their 

administrative use by the agency of 

origin, the rights of the Government and 

of private persons directly affected by 

the Government’s activities, and 

whether or not they have historical or 

other value. 

Besides identifying the Federal 

agencies and any subdivisions 

requesting disposition authority, this 

public notice lists the organizational 

unit(s) accumulating the records or 

indicates agency-wide applicability in 

the case of schedules that cover records 

that may be accumulated throughout an 

agency. This notice provides the control 

number assigned to each schedule, the 

total number of schedule items, and the 

number of temporary items (the records 

proposed for destruction). It also 

includes a brief description of the 

temporary records. The records 

schedule itself contains a full 

description of the records at the file unit 

level as well as their disposition. If 

NARA staff has prepared an appraisal 

memorandum for the schedule, it too 

includes information about the records. 

Further information about the 

disposition process is available on 

request.
