Abstract: The Facility Access Media (FAM) Request, NA Form 6006, is completed by all individuals requiring recurring access to non-public areas of NARA's facilities and IT network (such as NARA employees, contractors, volunteers, NARA-related foundation employees, volunteers, interns, and other non-NARA federal employees, such as federal agency reviewers) herein referred to as “applicants,” in order to obtain NARA Facility Access Media (FAM). After approval of the request, the applicant is given a FAM, if approved, and is then able to access non-public areas of NARA facilities and IT network.

This form was developed to comply with this requirement.
