This information will be collected by NARA whenever an organization requests permission to film, photograph, or videotape on NARA property for news purposes. NARA needs the information to determine if the request complies with NARA's regulations, to ensure protection of archival holdings, and to schedule the filming appointment.
The overall request time and cost burdens have changed due to an increase in the number of requests we receive each year and inflation. However, the burden per request has decreased because we streamlined the request process and forms so it takes each respondent less time/money, down from 15-17 minutes per request to ten minutes.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
