SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), we invite the public and other Federal agencies 
to comment on proposed information collections. If you have comments or 
suggestions, they should address one or more of the following points: 
(a) Whether the proposed information collection is necessary for NARA 
to properly perform its functions; (b) our estimate of the burden of 
the proposed information collection and its accuracy; (c) ways we could 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information we 
collect; (d) ways we could minimize the burden on respondents of 
collecting the information, including through information technology; 
and (e) whether the collection affects small businesses.
    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 prescribed by regulation in 36 CFR 1228.164:
    Title: Requests for Civilian Service Records (formerly Forms 
Relating to Civilian Service Records).
    OMB number: 3095-0037.
    Agency form number: NA Forms 13022, 13064, 13068.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Former Federal civilian employees, their 
authorized representatives, state and local governments, and 
businesses.
    Estimated number of respondents: 57,899.
    Estimated time per response: 5 minutes per form.
    Frequency of response: On occasion, when individuals desire to 
acquire information from Federal civilian employee personnel or medical 
records.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 4,824 hours.
    Abstract: In accordance with rules issued by the Office of 
Personnel Management, the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) of 
the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) administers 
Official Personnel Folders (OPF) and Employee Medical Folders (EMF) of 
former Federal civilian employees. When former Federal civilian 
employees and other authorized individuals request information from or 
copies of documents in OPF or EMF, they must provide in their requests 
certain information about the employee and the nature of the request so 
that we can determine whether they are authorized to receive the 
information and so that we can find the correct records. The NA Form 
13022, Returned Request Form, is used to request additional information 
about the former Federal employee. The NA Form 13064, Reply to Request 
Involving Relief Agencies, is used to request additional information 
about the former relief agency employee. The NA Form 13068, Walk-In 
Request for OPM Records or Information, is used by members of the 
public, with proper authorization, to request a copy of a personnel or 
medical record.

Swarnali Haldar,
Executive for Information Services/CIO.
