(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. In this notice, NARA is soliciting comments concerning the following information collections: 1. *Title:* Researcher Application. *OMB number:* 3095-0016. *Agency form number:* NA Forms 14003 and 14003A. *Type of review:* Regular. *Affected public:* Individuals or households, business or other for-profit, not-for-profit institutions, Federal, State, Local or Tribal Government. *Estimated number of respondents:* 22,728. *Estimated time per response:* 8 minutes. *Frequency of response:* On occasion. *Estimated total annual burden hours:* 3,030 hours. *Abstract:* The information collection is prescribed by 36 CFR 1254.6. The collection is an application for a research card. Respondents are individuals who wish to use original archival records in a NARA facility.
