SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(Pub. L. 104–13), NARA invites the
public and other Federal agencies to
comment on proposed information
collections. We published a notice of
proposed collection for this information
collection on June 21, 2016 (81 FR

the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information it collects; (d) ways NARA
could minimize the burden on
respondents of collecting the
information, including through
information technology; and (e) whether
the collection affects small businesses.
In this notice, NARA solicits comments
concerning the following information
collection:
Title: Consent to Make Inquiries and
Release of Information and Records.
OMB number: 3095–0068.
Agency Form Number: NA Form
10003.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Individuals or
households, business or other for-profit,
not-for-profit institutions, and Federal
Government.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
400.
Estimated Time per Response: 2
minutes.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 13 hours.
Abstract: In order to fulfill its
Government-wide statutory mission,
OGIS provides varying types of
assistance to its customers, which
requires communicating with
Government departments and agencies
regarding the customer’s FOIA/Privacy
Act request/appeal. Under the Privacy
Act, the agencies may not share peoples’
personal information without either a
routine use that they inform people of
prior to gathering the information, or
permission from the involved person.
As a result, OGIS uses NA Form 10003
to collect that authorization and the
identifying information necessary for
the agency to identify the correct files so
that OGIS may provide the requested
assistance. Without the information
submitted in NA Form 10003, OGIS
would be unable to fulfill its mission or
provide assistance to requesters.
Requesters use the NA Form 10003,
OGIS Consent to Make Inquiries and
Release of Information and Records, to
(1) request that OGIS make inquiries on
their behalf and (2) authorize agencies
to release records and information
related to their FOIA and Privacy Act
requests and appeals so that OGIS can
assist in resolving the dispute or in
providing information to the requester.
The authority for this information
collection is prescribed by 5 U.S.C.
552a(b), and as interpreted by Taylor v.
Orr, No. 83–0389, 1983 U.S. Dist. LEXIS

Records Schedules; Availability and
Request for Comments
National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA).
ACTION: Notice of availability of
proposed records schedules; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
The National Archives and
Records Administration (NARA)
publishes notice at least once monthly
of certain Federal agency requests for
records disposition authority (records
schedules). Once approved by NARA,
records schedules provide mandatory
instructions on what happens to records
when agencies no longer need them for
current Government business. The
records schedules authorize agencies to
preserve records of continuing value in
the National Archives of the United
States and to destroy, after a specified
period, records lacking administrative,
legal, research, or other value. NARA
publishes notice in the Federal Register
for records schedules in which agencies
propose to destroy records not
previously authorized for disposal or
reduce the retention period of records
already authorized for disposal. NARA
invites public comments on such
records schedules, as required by 44
U.S.C. 3303a(a).
DATES: NARA must receive requests for
copies in writing by October 11, 2016.
Once NARA finishes appraising the
records, we will send you a copy of the
schedule you requested. We usually
prepare appraisal memoranda that
contain additional information
concerning the records covered by a
proposed schedule. You may also
request these. If you do, we will also
provide them once we have completed
the appraisal. You have 30 days after we
send to you these requested documents
in which to submit comments.
ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of
any records schedule identified in this
notice by contacting Records Appraisal
and Agency Assistance (ACRA) using
one of the following means:
Mail: NARA (ACRA); 8601 Adelphi
Road; College Park, MD 20740–6001.
Email: request.schedule@nara.gov.
FAX: 301–837–3698.
You must cite the control number,
which appears in parentheses after the
name of the agency that submitted the
schedule, and a mailing address. If you
would like an appraisal report, please
include that in your request.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year,
Federal agencies create billions of
records on paper, film, magnetic tape,
and other media. To control this
accumulation, agency records managers
prepare schedules proposing records
retention periods and submit these
schedules for NARA’s approval. These
schedules provide for timely transfer
into the National Archives of
historically valuable records and
authorize the agency to dispose of all
other records after the agency no longer
needs them to conduct its business.
Some schedules are comprehensive and
cover all the records of an agency or one
of its major subdivisions. Most
schedules, however, cover records of
only one office or program or a few
series of records. Many of these update
previously approved schedules, and
some include records proposed as
permanent.
The schedules listed in this notice are
media neutral unless otherwise
specified. An item in a schedule is
media neutral when an agency may
apply the disposition instructions to
records regardless of the medium in
which it creates or maintains the
records. Items included in schedules
submitted to NARA on or after
December 17, 2007, are media neutral
unless the item is expressly limited to
a specific medium. (See 36 CFR
1225.12(e).)
Agencies may not destroy Federal
records without Archivist of the United
States’ approval. The Archivist approves
destruction only after thoroughly
considering the records’ administrative
use by the agency of origin, the rights
of the Government and of private people
directly affected by the Government’s
activities, and whether or not the
records have historical or other value.
In addition to identifying the Federal
agencies and any subdivisions
requesting disposition authority, this
notice lists the organizational unit(s)
accumulating the records (or notes that
the schedule has agency-wide
applicability when schedules cover
records that may be accumulated
throughout an agency); provides the
control number assigned to each
schedule, the total number of schedule

items, and the number of temporary
items (the records proposed for
destruction); and includes a brief
description of the temporary records.
The records schedule itself contains a
full description of the records at the file
unit level as well as their disposition. If
NARA staff has prepared an appraisal
memorandum for the schedule, it also
includes information about the records.
You may request additional information
about the disposition process at the
addresses above.
