authorization form. Requesters use the form to authorize NARA's Office 
of Government Information Services (OGIS) to make inquiries on their 
behalf and to authorize agencies to release information and records 
related to their Freedom of Information Act/Privacy Act requests/
appeals. We invite you to comment on this proposed information 
collection pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

DATES: We must receive written comments on or before August 22, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Paperwork Reduction Act Comments (ISSD),

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. The comments 
and suggestions should address one or more of the following points: (a) 
Whether the proposed information collection is necessary for NARA to 
properly perform its functions; (b) NARA's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed information collection and its accuracy; (c) ways NARA 
could enhance 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 this collection affects small businesses. We will 
summarize any comments you submit and include the summary in our 
request for OMB approval. All comments will become a matter of public 
record. 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 20334, 
at *6 n.6 (D.D.C. Dec. 5, 1983).
