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 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 (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 U.S.C. 3303a(a).
DATES: Request for copies must be received in writing on or before
January 17, 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 of 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.
