This is an application for a
researcher card. Respondents are individuals who wish to use
original archival records in a NARA facility. NARA uses the
information to screen individuals, to identify which types of
records they should use, and to allow further contact.
There has been a slight
increase in the number of respondents and corresponding annual hour
burdens. There is no way to predict how many researchers will apply
for researcher cards.
