SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of

Federal agencies to comment on proposed information collections. The 
comments and suggestions should address one or more of the following

for the proper performance of the functions of NARA; (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; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of 
the collection of information on respondents, including the use of 
information technology. The comments that are submitted will be 
summarized and included in the NARA request for Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) approval. All comments will become a matter of public 
record. In this notice, NARA is soliciting comments concerning the 
following information collection:
    Title: Locations for NARA Regional Research Services.
    OMB number: None.
    Agency form number: None.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Individuals and households, business and other 
for-profit organizations, nonprofit organizations and institutions, 
state, local, and Federal government agencies, Federally acknowledged 
or state-recognized Native American tribes or groups, who engage in 
research at a NARA regional records service facility.
    Estimated number of respondents: 5,000.
    Estimated time per response: 10 minutes.
    Frequency of response: One time.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 835 hours.
    Abstract: A goal in NARA's Strategic Plan is to spend less for the 
space we occupy so the money can be used to support services for our 
customers. We are looking at the buildings we occupy and the services 
we provide at those locations to decide what kind of facilities we need 
and where they should be located to best serve all of our customers.
