collection; (c) ways to enhance the

quality, utility, and clarity of the

information to be collected; and (d)

ways to minimize the burden of the

NARA is soliciting comments

concerning the following information

collection:

Title: Request for and Record of Pass.

OMB number: 3095–0026.

system is part of the security

management system which meets the

accreditation standards of the

Government intelligence agencies for

storage of classified information, and
