copies of the proposed information
collection and supporting statement
should be directed to Tamee Fechhelm
at telephone number 301–837–1694 or
fax number 301–713–7409.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(Public Law 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 June 25, 2008 (73 FR 36128). Two
comments were received. One comment
requested that the veteran or requestor
should be afforded the opportunity to
request their entire record on the form
so they don’t have to request it more
than once. Another comment requested
replacing ‘‘service’’ with ‘‘component’’
in several areas of the form; changing
‘‘VA Loan’’ to ‘‘VA Loan Programs’’; and
requesting all documents in the Official
Military Personnel File (OMPF). Both
comments were accepted and the
changes were made to the SF 180.
NARA has submitted the described
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
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 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; and (e) whether
small businesses are affected by this
collection. In this notice, NARA is
soliciting comments concerning the
following information collection:
Title: Request Pertaining to Military

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

Homeland Security (DHS, U.S. Coast

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
(https://www.archives.gov/
research_room/vetrecs/) to order copies.
