The Na 14136 form serves as an essential conduit for individuals seeking access to the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) personnel records, housed within the vast archives of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in St. Louis. These records, comprising both microfilmed individual records of enrollees and paper Official Personnel Folders (OPFs) for federal employees, such as Camp Leaders and Medical Officers, offer a comprehensive glimpse into the lives of those who served in the CCC. The archival nature of these records underscores their significance, as they have been transferred to the legal custody of NARA, thereby becoming accessible to the public. Individuals can request reproductions of these records, albeit for a fee, as outlined in the NARA Reproduction Fee Schedule. The form delineates a clear process for submission, emphasizing that payment should not be sent upfront but only upon an order form that is issued after a preliminary record search. For those wishing to dive deeper into archival research, procedures for in-person visits to the St. Louis facility are detailed, including contact information and the necessity of scheduling an appointment. Furthermore, the form collects detailed CCC employee information and the requester's contact details, ensuring a thorough basis for the record search while also adhering to privacy considerations as highlighted in the provided Privacy Act Notice. This notice stresses the importance of voluntary information provision, such as the Social Security Number (SSN) of the CCC employee, which though not mandatory, facilitates a more exhaustive search. The careful balancing of accessibility, privacy, and the process delineation encapsulates the Na 14136 form's role in bridging past federal employment records with present inquiries.
