Collection 1
1. Title: Request To Use Personal Paper-to-Paper Copiers at the National Archives at the College Park Facility.
OMB number: 3095-0035.
Agency form number: None.
Type of review: Regular.
Affected public: Business or other for-profit.
Estimated number of respondents: 5.
Estimated time per response: 3 hours.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total annual burden hours: 15 hours.
Abstract: The information collection is prescribed by 36 CFR 1254.86. Respondents are organizations that want to make paper-to-paper copies of archival holdings with their personal copiers. NARA uses the information to determine whether the request meets the criteria in 36 CFR 1254.86 and to schedule the limited space available.
Collections 2 and 3
The following two information collections relate to requests for documents or information from former military personnel and medical records, military personnel and family medical records, or personnel and medical records of former Federal civilian employees. Both of these information collections are prescribed by 36 CFR 1228.164. In accordance with rules issued by the Office of Personnel Management, NARA's National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) administers Official Personnel Folders (OPF) and Employee Medical Folders (EMF) of former Federal civilian employees. In addition, in accordance with rules issued by the Department of Defense and the Department of Transportation (U.S. Coast Guard), NPRC also administers military personnel and medical records of veterans after discharge, retirement, and death, as well as the medical records of current members of the Armed Forces and dependents of Armed Forces 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.
2. Title: Court Order Requirements.
OMB number: 3095-0038.
Agency form number: NA Form 13027.
Type of review: Regular.
Affected public: Veterans and former Federal civilian employees, their authorized representatives, state and local governments, and businesses.
Estimated number of respondents: 5,000.
Estimated time per response: 15 minutes.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total annual burden hours: 1,250 hours.
Abstract: We use the NA Form 13027, Court Order Requirements, to advise requesters of (1) the correct procedures to follow when requesting certified copies of records for use in civil litigation or criminal actions in courts of law, and (2) the information they need to provide so we may identify the correct records.
3. Title: Authorization for Release of Military Medical Patient Records; Request for Information Needed to Locate Medical Records; Request for Information Needed to Reconstruct Medical Data; Questionnaire about Military Service; and Check the Status of a Clinical & Medical Treatment Records Request.
OMB number: 3095-0039.
Agency form number: NA Forms 13036, 13042, 13055, 13075, and 13177.
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 military personnel, military medical, or dependent medical records).
Estimated total annual burden hours: 6,650 hours.
Abstract: 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, we may ask requestors 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 must 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 must 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. For those who have already made a request, and want to check the status, they can use NA Form 13177, Check the Status of a Clinical & Medical Treatment Records Request.
