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 

collect information used by registrants 

or other authorized individuals to 

request information from or copies of 

Selective Service System (SSS) records. 

We invite you to comment on this 

proposed information collection. 

DATES: OMB must receive written 

comments on or before September 1, 

2021. 

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: 

Tamee Fechhelm, Paperwork Reduction 

Act Officer, by email at 

tamee.fechhelm@nara.gob or by 

telephone at 301.837.1694 with any 

requests for additional information. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant 

to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(Pub. L. 104–13), we invite the general 

public and other Federal agencies to 

comment on proposed information 

collections. We published a notice of 

proposed collection for this information 

collection on May 10, 2021 (86 FR 

24900) and we received one comment. 

The commenter stated, ‘‘I am a 

professional genealogist and I frequently 

research elusive individuals who lived 

in the 20th century. These selective 

service records are immensely useful, 

because they cover nearly all males, but 

they are very inaccessible because they 

can only be found if the individual’s 

exact address is known. The form 

necessarily requires address, because 

that is how the records are organized. 

However, this impacts my ability to do 

my job because it renders the vital 

documents unusable if the registrant 

moved around and I cannot pinpoint 

exactly where he lived. I hope that 

NARA prioritizes either the indexing or 

digitization of these documents, so that 

they can be better utilized by the 

research community, thus not requiring 

the address to be known.’’ 

We have considered this comment 

and provided a response to the 

commenter. Due to the size of the 

collection, we have no immediate plans 

to index the Records of the Selective 

Service System. However, a great 

number of the Draft Registration cards, 

including those from WWI (1917–1918) 

and WWII, have been digitized and are 

available online at ancestry.com, 

fold3.com, and familysearch.org (the 

latter two offer free memberships), 

which provide their own means of 

searching and tagging to aid people in 

finding the records. Once normal 

operations resume, records on 

ancestry.com can be viewed for free in 

National Archives Public Research 

Rooms with Public Access PCs. Prior to 

the pandemic, we discussed possibly 

digitizing the post-WWII Draft 

Registration cards, and hope to continue 

such discussions post-pandemic, once 

we resume normal operations. We 

appreciate the comment and will 

continue efforts to make records more 

accessible. 

This comment does not change the 

purpose of the information collection or 

change the information we collect from 

researchers who are requesting access to 

archival records. We have therefore 

submitted the described information 

collection to OMB for approval. We will 

continue requesting as much recordidentifying information from researchers 

as possible, pursuant to this information 

collection, to aid us in finding the 

documents researchers seek, including 

the SSS records this researcher 

mentions. 

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 

this collection affects small businesses. 

In this notice, we solicit comments 

concerning the following information 

collection: 

Title: Selective Service System Record 

Request. 

OMB number: 3095–0071. 

Agency form numbers: NA Form 

13172. 

Type of review: Regular. 

Affected public: Individuals or 

households. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,500. 

Estimated time per response: 2 

minutes. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

50. 

Abstract: The National Personnel 

Records Center (NPRC) of the National 

Archives and Records Administration 

(NARA) administers the Selective 

Service System (SSS) records. The SSS 

records contain both classification 

records and registration cards of 

registrants born before January 1, 1960. 

When registrants or other authorized 

individuals request information from or 

copies of SSS records they must provide 

on forms or letters certain information 

about the registrant and the nature of 

the request. Requesters use NA Form 

13172, Selective Service Record Request 

to obtain information from SSS records 

stored at NARA facilities.
