Abstract: The authority for this information collection is contained in 36 CFR 1200.8.

The official seals are used to authenticate various copies of official records in our custody and for other official NARA business. We also have an official NARA logo, and other official program and office logos (such as the Federal Register logo, Presidential library logos, Controlled Unclassified Information logo, National Historical Publications and Records Center logo, and more). Occasionally, when criteria are met, we will permit the public or other Federal agencies to use our official seals and logos. The requestor must submit a written request, that includes certain information outlined in 36 CFR 1200, to use the official seals and logos. We approve or deny the request using specific criteria, also outlined in the regulation.
