Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NARA is giving public notice that the agency proposes to 
request extension of a currently approved information collection used 
in issuing a building pass to National Archives and Records 
Administration (NARA) volunteers and employees of NARA contractors so 
that they can enter NARA facilities to perform their duties. NARA uses 
the information to ensure that only authorized persons have access. The 
public is invited to comment on the proposed information collection 
pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before June 15, 1998, to 
be assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to: Paperwork Reduction Act Comments 
(NHP), Room 3200, National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 
Adelphi Rd, College Park, MD 20740-6001; or faxed to: 301-713-6913; or 
electronically mailed to: [e-mail].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
copies of the proposed information collection and supporting statement 
should be directed to Tamee Fechhelm at telephone number 301-713-6730, 
or fax number 301-713-6913.

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. The 
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. 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: Request for and Record of Pass.
    OMB number: 3095-0026.
    Agency form number: NA Form 6006.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Individuals or households, business or other for-
profit organizations and institutions, and Federal government.
    Estimated number of respondents: 1,266.
    Estimated time per response: 3 minutes.
    Frequency of response: On occasion (when respondent wishes to enter 
NARA facilities). Respondents who are contractors are given a building 
pass which expires at the end of each fiscal year; those who are 
volunteers are given a pass valid for 5 years.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 64 hours.
    Abstract: The collection of information is necessary as a security 
measure to protect employees, information, and property in National 
Archives and Records Administration (NARA) facilities and to facilitate 
the issuance of passes. Use of the form is authorized by 44 U.S.C. 
2104. At the NARA College Park facility, individuals receive an access 
card with the pass that is electronically coded to permit access to 
secure zones ranging from a general

nominal level to stricter access levels for classified records zones. 
The access card system is part of the security management system which 
meets the accreditation standards of the Government intelligence 
agencies for storage of classified information, and serves to comply 
with E.O. 12958.
