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. We
published a notice of proposed collection for this information
collection on October 28, 2014 (79 FR 64219), and received no comments.
We have thus submitted the described information collection to OMB for
approval.
In response to this notice, comments and suggestions should address
one or more of the following points: (a) Whether the proposed
information collection is necessary for NARA's proper performance of
its functions; (b) the accuracy of NARA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (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 this collection. In this notice, NARA
solicits comments concerning the following information collection:
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 respondents wish to
request information from a military personnel record).
Estimated total annual burden hours: 85,731 hours.
Abstract: The authority for this information collection is 36 CFR
1233.18. In accordance with rules issued by the Department of Defense
(DOD) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS, U.S. Coast Guard),
NARA's National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) administers veterans'
military service records after discharge, retirement, or death. When
veterans and other authorized individuals request information from, or
copies of, documents in military service records, they must provide
certain information about the veteran and the nature of the request.
Federal agencies, military departments, veterans, veterans'
organizations, and the general public use Standard Form (SF) 180,
Request Pertaining to Military Records, to request 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.
Dated: January 15, 2015.
