collections. We published a notice of proposed collection for this 
information collection on October 27, 2017 (82 FR 49857), and we 
received no comments. We have therefore 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 collection is necessary for NARA to properly perform its 
functions; (b) the accuracy of our estimate of the information 
collection's burden on respondents; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information we propose to collect; (d) ways 
to minimize the burden on respondents of collecting the information, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) whether the collection affects 
small businesses. In this notice, NARA solicits comments concerning the 
following information collection:
    Title: Researcher Application.
    OMB number: 3095-0016.
    Agency form number: NA Form 14003.

information, and information about the research purpose and the records 
they wish to access. NARA uses the information to screen individuals, 
to identify which types of records they should use, and to allow 
further contact.
