SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), NARA invites the general public and other
Federal agencies to comment on proposed information collections. NARA
published a notice of proposed collection for this information
collection on March 16, 2011 (76 FR 14433 and 14434). No comments were

OMB for approval.
In response to this notice, comments and suggestions should address

functions of NARA; (b) the accuracy of NARA's estimate of the burden of
the proposed information collections; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including the use of information technology; and (e) whether small
businesses are affected by these collections. In this notice, NARA is
soliciting comments concerning the following information collections:
1. Title: Presidential Library Facilities.
OMB Number: 3095-0036.
Agency Form Number: None.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Presidential library foundations or other entities
proposing to transfer a Presidential library facility to NARA.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1.
Estimated Time per Response: 31 hours.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 31 hours.
[[Page 31642]]
Abstract: The information collection is required for NARA to meet
its obligations under 44 U.S.C. 2112(a)(3) to submit a report to
Congress before accepting a new Presidential library facility. The
report contains information that can be furnished only by the
foundation or other entity responsible for building the facility and
establishing the library endowment.
2. Title: Forms Relating to Military Service Records.
OMB Number: 3095-0039.
Agency Form Number: NA Forms 13036, 13042, 13055, and 13075.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Veterans, their authorized representatives, state
and local governments, and businesses.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 79,800.
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
1228.162. In accordance with rules issued by the Department of Defense
(DoD) and the Department of Transportation (DoT, U.S. Coast Guard), the
National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) of the National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA) administers military personnel and
medical records of veterans after discharge, retirement, and death. In
addition, NPRC 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.
3. Title: NARA Visitors Study.
OMB Number: 3095-0067.
Agency Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Individuals who visit the National Archives
Experience in Washington, DC.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 200.
Estimated Time per Response: 12 minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion (when an individual visits the
National Archives Experience in Washington, DC).
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 40 hours.
Abstract: The general purpose of this voluntary data collection is
to benchmark the performance of the NAE in relation to other history
museums. Information collected from visitors assesses the overall
impact, expectations, presentation, logistics, motivation, demographic
profile and learning experience. Once analysis is done, this collected
information assists NARA in determining the NAE's success in achieving
its goals.
