The information collection is prescribed by 36 CFR 1280.80 and 36 CFR 1280.82. Requesters submit the information when they wish to use NARA public areas in the Washington, DC, area or public spaces at Federal records centers for an event, or they submit the application to request the use of space in a Presidential library for a privately sponsored activity. We use the information to determine whether or not we can accommodate the request and date, whether the requested use meets the criteria in 36 CFR 1280, and to ensure that the proposed event complies with NARA regulations.
This information collection previously covered requests for use of facility spaces other than Presidential libraries and it included participants in a regular program we held in the Archives Building for sleepovers. The sleepover program is inactive at the moment, so we have reduced the estimates by subtracting those requests and the time to fill out their associated forms (NA Forms 11009 and 11009C, Sleepover at the National Archives Consent and Release and Sleepover at the National Archives Consent and Release Chaperones Only), which are now included in 3095-0074. We have, however, increased the totals by including requests to use Presidential library spaces to this information collection. We did because the two types of requests are now integrated in the same regulatory section with the same criteria and similar processes, other than the use of a form for one. We are adding the 2020 numbers for requests to use Presidential library spaces because that was when we last renewed it as a separate information collection and those numbers have not changed since then.
We we are proposing to combine these two into one ICR (3095-0043 with 3095-0024).
