Title: Request Pertaining to Military Records.
OMB number: 3095-0029.
Agency form number: SF 180.
Type of review: Regular.
Affected public: Veterans, their authorized representatives, state
and local governments, and businesses.
Estimated number of respondents: 1,028,769.
Estimated time per response: 5 minutes.
Frequency of response: On occasion (when respondent wishes to
request information from a military personnel record).
Estimated total annual burden hours: 85,731 hours.
Abstract: The authority for this information collection is
contained in 36 CFR 1233.18. In accordance with rules issued by the
Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS,
US Coast Guard), the National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) of the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) administers
military service records of veterans after discharge, retirement, and
death. When veterans and other authorized individuals request
information from or copies of documents in military service records,
they must provide in forms or in letters certain information about the
veteran and the nature of the request. Federal agencies, military
departments, veterans, veterans' organizations, and the general public
use Standard Forms (SF) 180, Request Pertaining to Military Records, in
order to obtain information from military service records stored at
NPRC. Veterans and next-of-kin of deceased veterans can also use
eVetRecs (http://www.archives.gov/research_room/vetrecs/) to order
copies.
