information collections. NARA
published a notice of proposed
collection for this information collection
on June 18, 2012 (77 FR 36297 and
36298). No comments were received.
NARA has submitted the described
information collections 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

Title: Independent Researcher Listing
Application.
OMB number: 3095–0054.

Affected public: Individuals or
households.
Estimated number of respondents:
458.

Abstract: In the past, the National
Archives has made use of various lists
of independent researchers who perform
freelance research for hire in the
Washington, DC, area. We have sent
these lists upon request to researchers
who could not travel to the metropolitan
area to conduct their own research. To
better accommodate both the public and
NARA staff, the Customer Services
Division (RD–DC) of the National
Archives maintains a listing of
independent researchers for the public.
All interested independent researchers
provide their contact information via
this form. Collecting contact and other
key information from each independent
researcher and providing such
information to the public when deemed
appropriate will only increase business.
This form is not a burden in any way
to any independent researcher who
voluntarily submits a completed form.
Inclusion on the list will not be viewed
or advertised as an endorsement by the
National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA). The listing is
