NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS
ADMINISTRATION
Records Schedules; Availability and
Request for Comments
National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA).
ACTION: Notice of availability of
proposed records schedules; request for
comments.
mstockstill on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES
AGENCY:
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). Once approved by NARA,
records schedules provide mandatory
instructions on what happens to records
when no longer needed for current
Government business. They authorize
the preservation of records of
continuing value in the National
Archives of the United States and the
destruction, after a specified period, of
records lacking administrative, legal,
research, or other value. Notice is
published for records schedules in
which agencies propose to destroy
records not previously authorized for
disposal or reduce the retention period
of records already authorized for
disposal. NARA invites public
comments on such records schedules, as
required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).
DATES: Requests for copies must be
received in writing on or before January
10, 2007. Once the appraisal of the
records is completed, NARA will send
a copy of the schedule. NARA staff
usually prepare appraisal
memorandums that contain additional
information concerning the records
covered by a proposed schedule. These,
too, may be requested and will be
provided once the appraisal is
completed. Requesters will be given 30
days to submit comments.
ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of
any records schedule identified in this
notice by contacting the Life Cycle
Management Division (NWML) using
one of the following means:
Mail: NARA (NWML), 8601 Adelphi
Road, College Park, MD 20740–6001.
E-mail: requestschedule@nara.gov.
FAX: 301–837–3698.
Requesters must cite the control
number, which appears in parentheses
after the name of the agency which
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:15 Dec 08, 2006
Jkt 211001
submitted the schedule, and must
provide a mailing address. Those who
desire appraisal reports should so
indicate in their request.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Laurence Brewer, Director, Life Cycle
Management Division (NWML),
National Archives and Records
Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road,
College Park, MD 20740–6001.
Telephone: 301–837–1539. E-mail:
records.mgt@nara.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year
Federal agencies create billions of
records on paper, film, magnetic tape,
and other media. To control this
accumulation, agency records managers
prepare schedules proposing retention
periods for records and submit these
schedules for NARA’s approval, using
the Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for
Records Disposition Authority. These
schedules provide for the timely transfer
into the National Archives of
historically valuable records and
authorize the disposal of all other
records after the agency no longer needs
them to conduct its business. Some
schedules are comprehensive and cover
all the records of an agency or one of its
major subdivisions. Most schedules,
however, cover records of only one
office or program or a few series of
records. Many of these update
previously approved schedules, and
some include records proposed as
permanent.
No Federal records are authorized for
destruction without the approval of the
Archivist of the United States. This
approval is granted only after a
thorough consideration of 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
whether or not they have historical or
other value.
Besides identifying the Federal
agencies and any subdivisions
requesting disposition authority, this
public notice lists the organizational
unit(s) accumulating the records or
indicates agency-wide applicability in
the case of schedules that cover records
that may be accumulated throughout an
agency. This notice provides the control
number assigned to each schedule, the
total number of schedule items, and the
number of temporary items (the records
proposed for destruction). It also
includes a brief description of the
temporary records. The records
schedule itself contains a full
description of the records at the file unit
level as well as their disposition. If
NARA staff has prepared an appraisal
memorandum for the schedule, it too
PO 00000
Frm 00081
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

includes information about the records.
Further information about the
disposition process is available on
request.
