NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION
Records Schedules; Availability and Request for Comments
AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration, Office of Records
Administration.
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 Unites 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 (1) propose the destruction of records not
previously authorized for disposal, or (2) reduce the retention period
for records already authorized for disposal. NARA invites public
comments on such schedules, as required by 44 USC 3303a(a).
DATES: Request for copies must be received in writing on or before
August 28, 1995. 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 Records Appraisal and Disposition Division (NIR),
National Archives and Records Administration, College Park, MD 20740.
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.
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 furnished to each
requester.
