Abstract
We are proposing to request that the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) renew three information collections. The first renewal information collection is necessary to handle the volume of requests for records in a timely manner and to obtain specific information from the researcher to search for the records sought. The second renewal information collection is prepared by organizations that want to make paper-to-paper copies of archival holdings with their personal copiers at the National Archives at the College Park facility. The third renewal is used to advise requesters of the correct procedures to follow when requesting certified copies of records for use in civil litigation or criminal actions in courts of law, and the information to be provided so that records may be identified. We invite you to comment on the proposed information collections.
