Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 47 / Tuesday, March 11, 2014 / Notices 13679 

Estimated time per response: 5 

minutes. 

Frequency of response: On occasion 

(when respondent wishes to request 

information from a military personnel, 

military medical, and dependent 

medical record). 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

6,650 hours. 

Abstract: The information collection 

is prescribed by 36 CFR 1228.164. In 

accordance with rules issued by the 

Department of Defense and the 

Department of Transportation (U.S. 

Coast Guard), the National Personnel 

Records Center (NPRC) of NARA 

administers military personnel and 

medical records of veterans after 

discharge, retirement, and death. In 

addition, NRPC administers the medical 

records of dependents of service 

personnel. When veterans, dependents, 

and other authorized individuals 

request information from or copies of 

documents in military personnel, 

military medical, and dependent 

medical records, they must provide on 

forms or in letters certain information 

about the veteran and the nature of the 

request. A major fire at the NPRC on 

July 12, 1973, destroyed numerous 

military records. If individuals’ requests 

involve records or information from 

records that may have been lost in the 

fire, requesters may be asked to 

complete NA Form 13075, 

Questionnaire about Military Service, or 

NA Form 13055, Request for 

Information Needed to Reconstruct 

Medical Data, so that NPRC staff can 

search alternative sources to reconstruct 

the requested information. Requesters 

who ask for medical records of 

dependents of service personnel and 

hospitalization records of military 

personnel are asked to complete NA 

Form 13042, Request for Information 

Needed to Locate Medical Records, so 

that NPRC staff can locate the desired 

records. Certain types of information 

contained in military personnel and 

medical records are restricted from 

disclosure unless the veteran provides a 

more specific release authorization than 

is normally required. Veterans are asked 

to complete NA Form 13036, 

Authorization for Release of Military 

Medical Patient Records, to authorize 

release to a third party of a restricted 

type of information found in the desired 

record.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For the 

nation’s 123,000 school, public, 

research and academic libraries and the 

millions of Americans that they serve, it 

is vital that libraries have the high speed 

internet connections the public 

demands for educational, cultural, 

health and workforce information and 

services. Presidential initiatives like 

Connect-Ed and the FCC Chairman’s 

call for modernization of the E-rate 

program have put a spotlight on the 

urgency to equip schools and libraries 

with high speed broadband connections. 

The Institute of Museum and Library 

Services (IMLS) has primary 

responsibility for the development and 

implementation of policy to ensure the 

availability of museum, library and 

information services adequate to meet 

the essential information, education, 

research, economic, cultural and civic 

needs of the people of the United States. 

See 20 U.S.C. Section 9103(c)(1). In 

carrying out this responsibility, IMLS is 

authorized to engage with Federal, 

State, and local government agencies 

and private entities in assessing current 

needs and coordinating the 

development of plans, policies, and 

activities to meet such needs effectively. 

Id. at Section (c)(2). Pursuant to the 

authority granted in 20 U.S.C. Section 

9110, IMLS is conducting this public 

hearing for the purpose of establishing 

a public record specifically focused on 

the need for and impact of high speed 

broadband connectivity in America’s 

libraries. 

The Institute will hear from witnesses 

on the following topics: 

Panel One: The Vision, What’s 

Working: This panel will explore 

innovative practices and partnerships 

that are serving individuals and 

communities well. 

Panel Two: The Data: This panel will 

explore what is known about broadband 

connections and services in America’s 

libraries. 

Panel Three: The Urgency, What’s At 

Risk: This panel will explore risks 

associated with insufficient connectivity 

in libraries. 

The hearing is open to the public, 

subject to space availability. Written 

comments for the hearing will be 

accepted and must be received on or 

before May 1, 2014, in order to be 

included in the hearing record. Each 

comment must include the author’s 

name and organizational affiliation, if 

any.

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 

Research Performance Progress 

Report Updates 

AGENCY: National Science Foundation 

(NSF). 

ACTION: Request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: The Research Performance 

Progress Report (RPPR) for use with 

interim progress reports resulted from 

an initiative of the Research Business 

Models (RBM) Subcommittee of the 

Committee on Science (CoS), a 

committee of the National Science and 

Technology Council (NSTC). The 

updated RPPR will directly benefit 

award recipients by making it easier for 

them to administer Federal grant and 

cooperative agreement programs 

through standardization of the types of 

information required in interim and 

final performance reports—thereby 

reducing their administrative effort and 

costs. The RPPR will also make it easier 

to compare the outputs, outcomes, etc. 

of research programs across the 

government. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

May 12, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Comments should be 

addressed to Suzanne H. Plimpton, 

Reports Clearance Officer, Office of the 

General Counsel, National Science 

Foundation, 4201 Wilson Blvd., 

Arlington, VA 22230, email: splimpto@

(703) 292–9242. We encourage 

respondents to submit comments 

electronically to ensure timely receipt. 

We cannot guarantee that comments 

mailed will be received before the 

comment closing date. Please include 

‘‘Research Performance Progress 

Reporting’’ in the subject line of the 

email message; please also include the 

full body of your comments in the text 

of the message and as an attachment.
