Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We have submitted a request to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for approval to continue to use three currently approved 
information collections. People use the first information collection to 
request permission to film, photograph, or videotape at a NARA facility 
for news purposes. People use the second information collection to 
request permission to use NARA facilities for events in the Washington, 
DC, area, at a Federal records center, or at a Presidential library. 
People use the third information collection to request their name be 
placed on a list of independent researchers who perform freelance 
research for hire in the Washington, DC, area. We invite you to comment 
on the proposed information collections.

DATES: OMB must receive written comments on or before February 14, 
2025.

ADDRESSES: Send any comments and recommendations on the proposed 
information collection in writing to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. 
You can find this particular information collection by selecting 
``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using 
the search function.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kellie Shipley, Paperwork Reduction 
Act Officer, by email at [email protected] or by telephone at 
301.837.0685 with any requests for additional information.

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. We published a notice 
of proposed collection for these information collections on November 1, 
2024 (89 FR 87427) and we received no comments. We are therefore 
submitting the described information collections to OMB for approval.
    If you have comments or suggestions, they should address one or 
more of the following points: (a) whether the proposed information 
collections are necessary for NARA to properly perform its functions; 
(b) our estimate of the burden of the proposed information collections 
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 these collections affect small 
businesses.

    Abstract: In the past, the National Archives has made use of 
various lists of independent researchers who perform freelance research 
for hire in the Washington, DC, area. We have sent these lists upon 
request to researchers who could not travel to the metropolitan area to 
conduct their own research. To better accommodate both the public and 
NARA staff, the Archival Operations division of the National Archives 
maintains a listing of independent researchers for the public. All 
interested independent researchers provide their contact information 
via this form. Collecting contact and other key information from each 
independent researcher and providing such information to the public 
when deemed appropriate will only increase business. This form is not a 
burden in any way to any independent researcher who voluntarily submits 
a completed form. Inclusion on the list will not be viewed or 
advertised as an endorsement by the National Archives and Records 
Administration (NARA). The listing is compiled and disseminated as a 
service to the public.

Gulam Shakir,
Acting Executive for Information Services/CIO.
