For federal records officers and other federal employees with records management responsibilities outside of NARA, we will reach out to them using the FRON, or Federal Records Officer Network, to ask for volunteers to fill out the survey as well as outreach via the National Association of Government Archives and Records Administrators asking for volunteers.

For (2) Private Sector, there are several archivists and archives contractors who may use the site from companies such as such as History Associates, Heritage Works, Winthrop Group, and others. There may be some researchers who use the site. We have identified contacts from some of the companies mentioned and will ask for volunteers to voluntarily particpate in the survey.

For (3) state, local or tribal governments, we plan to post to survey to the Council of Sate Archivists by posting to one of their listservs, as well outreach via the National Association of Government Archives and Records Administrators. There was no way to add rows to the Burden Hours table above, but we anticipate 10 archivists from category 3, totaling 1.7 hours.
