the language/resource of choice among

widely-divergent users that range from

the Social Security Administration to

the Defense Intelligence Agency and

from America’s Job Bank to the

Educational Testing Service (ETS).

Creating a common ground of

understanding on which public and

private workforce initiatives can work

together, O*NET becomes a

communication link to help integrate

learning, training and work. It serves to

emphasize the reality that no one effort,

public or private, can capture all aspects

or target all the dimensions involved in

the changing workplace. Government’s

participation helps insure objectivity

and fairness in data collection, but

government alone cannot build the

extensive occupational information

network today’s economy demands.

Working with the private sector, O*NET

will provide the foundation upon which

others can build as they assist career

counseling, employment and jobtraining activities.

Offering O*NET products now is a

way to encourage the combined and

extended efforts needed to reach full

O*NET development. Enhancements

made by entities obtaining O*NET 98

Beta and O*NET 98 are expected to

produce value-added products that will,

for example: (1) Develop resumes, job

orders, and descriptions of personnel

positions; (2) streamline and improve

the accuracy of vocational counseling;

(3) fine-tune assessment measures to

benchmark worker skills and

requirements; (4) evaluate and forecast

human resource requirements; (5)

restructure organizational and staff

development; (6) benchmark

performance appraisals; (7) align

educational and job training curricula

with current workplace content; (8)

create skills-match profiles; (9) explore

career options that capitalize on prior

experience; (10) make better informed

job placement decisions; and (11)

reduce recruitment costs of workers at

all levels.

O*NET Products will be distributed

through ETA’s grantees developing

O*NET. Specific information on the

distribution centers will be available in

the near future. O*NET Beta will be

made available to software developers

who can develop value-added products

that will expand O*NET’s immediate

usability. Those who participate in this

phase of O*NET development will be

considered a responsible part of the

O*NET effort to achieve a fully

operational, solidly researched and

user-responsive tool that enhances the

employment potential of all Americans.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS

ADMINISTRATION

Agency Information Collection

Activities: Proposed Collection;

Comment Request

AGENCY: National Archives and Records

Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: NARA is giving public notice

that the agency proposes to request

extension of a currently approved

information collection used when a

request involves a record or information

that may be from military records that

were lost in a fire on July 12, 1973, at

the National Personnel Records Center

(NPRC), so that NPRC can search

alternative sources to reconstruct the

requested information. The public is

invited to comment on the proposed

information collection pursuant to the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Written comments must be

received on or before October 20, 1997

to be assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent

to: Paperwork Reduction Act Comments

(NHP), Room 3200, National Archives

and Records Administration, 8601

Adelphi Rd, College Park, MD 20740–

6001; or faxed to 301–713–6913; or

electronically mailed to

tamee.fechhelm@arch2.nara.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Requests for additional information or

copies of the proposed information

collections and supporting statements

should be directed to Tamee Fechhelm

at telephone number 301–713–6730, or

fax number 301–713–6913.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

(Pub. L. 104–13), NARA invites the

general public and other Federal

agencies to comment on proposed

information collections. The comments

and suggestions should address one or

more of the following points: (a)

whether the proposed collection

information is 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. The comments

that are submitted will be summarized

and included in the NARA request for

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) approval. All comments will

become a matter of public record. In this

notice, NARA is soliciting comments

concerning the following information

collection:

Title: Questionnaire about Military

Service.

OMB number: 3095–0029.

Agency form number: NA Form

13075.

Type of review: Regular.

Affected public: Veterans, their

authorized representatives, state and

local governments, and businesses.

Estimated number of respondents:

70,000.

Estimated time per response: 5

minutes.

Frequency of response: On occasion

(when respondent wishes to request

information from a military service

record). Most of these respondents

initially submitted a request on a SF 180

or in a letter for records that may have

been lost in the 1973 fire.

Estimated total annual burden hours:

5,833 hours.

Abstract: Individuals who write to the

National Personnel Records Center

(NPRC) to request information from

their military service record may receive

this form. The information collection,

used by the NPRC in cases where the

information provided on the SF 180 or

in a letter is not sufficient to locate the

requested record or information, asks

the requester to furnish additional

information. A major fire on July 14,

1973, destroyed a number of military

records at the NPRC. If the request

involves a record or information that

may be from records that were lost in

the fire, the requester may be asked to

complete NA Form 13075,

Questionnaire about Military Service, so

NPRC can search alternative sources to

reconstruct the requested information.
