Records Schedules; Availability and
Request for Comments
National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA).
ACTION: Notice of availability of
proposed records schedules; request for
comments.
AGENCY:
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
agencies to preserve records of
continuing value in the National
Archives of the United States and to
destroy, after a specified period, records
lacking administrative, legal, research,
or other value. NARA publishes notice
for records schedules in which agencies
propose to destroy records not
previously authorized for disposal or
reduce the retention period of records

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

already authorized for disposal. NARA
invites public comments on such
records schedules, as required by 44
U.S.C. 3303a(a).
DATES: NARA must receive requests for
copies in writing by May 2, 2016. Once
NARA completes appraisal of the
records, we will send you a copy of the
schedule you requested. We usually
prepare appraisal memoranda that
contain additional information
concerning the records covered by a
proposed schedule. You may also
request these. If you do, we will also
provide them once we have completed
the appraisal. You have 30 days after we
send these requested documents in
which to submit comments.
ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of
any records schedule identified in this
notice by contacting Records
Management Services (ACNR) using one
of the following means:
Mail: NARA (ACNR); 8601 Adelphi
Road; College Park, MD 20740–6001.
Email: request.schedule@nara.gov.
FAX: 301–837–3698.
You must cite the control number,
which appears in parentheses after the
name of the agency which submitted the
schedule, and a mailing address. If you
would like an appraisal report, please
include that in your request.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Margaret Hawkins, Director, by mail at
Records Management Services (ACNR);
National Archives and Records
Administration; 8601 Adelphi Road;
College Park, MD 20740–6001, by phone
at 301–837–1799, or by email at
request.schedule@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. These
schedules provide for 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.
The schedules listed in this notice are
media neutral unless otherwise
specified. An item in a schedule is
media neutral when an agency may
PO 00000
Frm 00073
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
18895
apply the disposition instructions to
records regardless of the medium in
which it has created or maintains the
records. Items included in schedules
submitted to NARA on or after
December 17, 2007, are media neutral
unless the item is limited to a specific
medium. (See 36 CFR 1225.12(e).)
No agencies may destroy Federal
records without the approval of the
Archivist of the United States. The
Archivist grants this approval only after
a thorough consideration of the records’
administrative use by the agency of
origin, the rights of the Government and
of private people directly affected by the
Government’s activities, and whether or
not the records have historical or other
value.
In addition to identifying the Federal
agencies and any subdivisions
requesting disposition authority, this
notice lists the organizational unit(s)
accumulating the records or that the
schedule has agency-wide applicability
(in the case of schedules that cover
records that may be accumulated
throughout an agency), 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), and 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
includes information about the records.
You may request additional information
about the disposition process at the
addresses above.
Schedules Pending
1. Department of Agriculture, Farm
Service Agency (DAA–0145–2015–0016,
