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 <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#5226333f37377c3437313a3a373e3f123320313a607c3c3320337c353d24"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b1c5d0dcd4d49fd7d4d2d9d9d4dddcf1d0c3d2d9839fdfd0c3d09fd6dec7">[email protected]</span></a>.

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.

    Dated: August 13, 1997.

Assistant Archivist for Human Resources and Information Services.
