ACTION: Presidential Records Act notice of proposed disposal of Reagan and George H.W. Bush administration disaster recovery backup tapes; request for public comment. AGENCY: NARA has identified several collections of disaster recovery backup tapes, and subsequently-created preservation copies, from the Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush (GHW Bush) administrations, maintained for the Professional/Office Vision software (PROFS), the Sperry/VAX All-in-One (All-in-One), and for systems maintained by the White House Situation Support Staff (WHSSS) and the White House Situation Room (WHSR), as appropriate for disposal under the Presidential Records Act, 44 U.S.C. 2203(g)(3). This notice describes our reasons for determining that further retention of these disaster recovery backup tapes is not warranted. Because the administrations made these backup tapes for disaster recovery purposes, all SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00090 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 required backup restoration projects have taken place, and NARA is preserving the restored records, we have identified no further need to preserve and maintain these backup tapes. Accordingly, we are following a disposal procedure similar to that in General Records Schedule (GRS) 24 for the routine disposal of backup tapes used by Federal agencies. This notice does not constitute a final agency action, as described in 44 U.S.C. 2203(g)(3), and no Presidential records will be disposed of following this notice. NARA will publish a second notice only after we have considered any comments received following this 45-day notice period. If NARA proceeds with disposal, we will publish a second notice, with a 60-day notice period, that will constitute a final agency action. DATES: Please submit any comments by March 23, 2015 for NARA’s consideration. Comments regarding the proposed disposal of these Presidential records must be sent in writing to Susan K. Donius, by mail to National Archives and Records Administration, Suite 2200; 8601 Adelphi Road; College Park, MD 20740–6001; by fax to 301–837– 3199; or by email to beth.fidler@ nara.gov. ADDRESSES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Director of Presidential Libraries Susan K. Donius, by telephone at 301–837– 3250; or by email at beth.fidler@ nara.gov. NARA proposes to dispose of 3,071 original disaster recovery backup tapes created during the Reagan and GHW Bush administrations, along with subsequent preservation copies of those media. A Stipulation and Order entered in the case of Armstrong v. Executive Office of the President, Civ. No. 89–0142 (D.D.C.), on January 27, 1994, allows NARA to dispose of preserved disaster recovery backup tapes from the Reagan and GHW Bush administrations, provided that NARA issues a public notice in the Federal Register. On June 28, 2013, NARA published a Federal Register notice proposing the disposal of over 22,000 unclassified backup tapes from the Reagan and GHW Bush administrations that were used to restore emails and related records pursuant to court orders entered in the Armstrong case. NARA received no comments concerning that proposed disposal. Similarly, NARA now proposes to dispose of 3,039 classified backup tapes from the Reagan and GHW Bush administrations that were transferred to SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: E:\FR\FM\06FEN1.SGM 06FEN1
