    Records Schedules; Availability and Request for Comments
    
    AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration, Office of Records 
    Services.
    
    ACTION: Notice of availability of proposed records schedules; request 
    for comments.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) 
    publishes notice at least once monthly of certain Federal agency 
    requests for records disposition authority (records schedules). Records 
    schedules identify records of sufficient value to warrant preservation 
    in the National Archives of the United States. Schedules also authorize 
    agencies after a specified period to dispose of records lacking 
    administrative, legal, research, or other value. Notice is published 
    for records schedules that propose the destruction of records not 
    previously authorized for disposal, or reduce the retention period for 
    records already authorized for disposal. NARA invites public comments 
    on such schedules, as required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).
    
    DATES: Requests for copies must be received in writing on or before 
    June 20, 1997. Once the appraisal of the records is completed, NARA 
    will send a copy of the schedule. The requester will be given 30 days 
    to submit comments.
    
    ADDRESSES: Address requests for single copies of schedules identified 
    in this notice to the Civilian Appraisal Staff (NWRC), National 
    Archives and Records Administration, College Park, MD 20740-6001. 
    Requesters must cite the control number assigned to each schedule when 
    requesting a copy. The control number appears in the parentheses 
    immediately after the name of the requesting agency.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael L. Miller, Director, Records 
    Management Programs, National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 
    Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001, telephone (301) 713-7110.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year U.S. Government agencies create 
    billions of records on paper, film, magnetic tape, and other media. In 
    order to control this accumulation, agency records managers prepare 
    records schedules specifying when the agency no longer needs the 
    records and what happens to the records after this period. Some 
    schedules are comprehensive and cover all the records of an agency or 
    one of its major subdivisions. These comprehensive schedules provide 
    for the eventual transfer to the National Archives of historically 
    valuable records and authorize the disposal of all other records. Most 
    schedules, however, cover records of only one office or program or a 
    few series of records, and many are updates of previously approved 
    schedules. Such schedules also may include records that are designated 
    for permanent retention.
        Destruction of records requires the approval of the Archivist of 
    the United States. This approval is granted after a thorough study of 
    the records that takes into account their administrative use by the 
    agency of origin, the rights of the Government and of private persons 
    directly affected by the Government's activities, and historical or 
    other value.
        This public notice identifies the Federal agencies and their 
    subdivisions requesting disposition authority, includes the control 
    number assigned to each schedule, and briefly describes the records 
    proposed for disposal. The records schedule contains additional 
    information about the records and their disposition. Further 
    information about the disposition process will be fur nished to each 
    requester.
