Changes to NARA Facilities' Hours of Operation
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is changing its regulations that provide NARA facilities' hours of operation. NARA facilities' hours of operation will no longer be listed in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Further, NARA offices must follow specific procedures when changing facilities' hours of operation. These procedures provide the public with advance notice of any proposed changes in hours and will include justification for the change in writing. Note that there are no proposed changes to hours of operation at any NARA facility at this time.
Public Availability of Government Accountability Office Records
These proposed revisions would clarify procedures to obtain Government Accountability Office (GAO) documents. Published GAO documents such as testimonies, reports, and decisions are available to the public on GAO's Web site and also may be requested over the telephone. Their wide availability eliminates the need for regulations governing their request, and accordingly published GAO documents would no longer be subject to the procedures of this part under the proposed rule. The revisions would also clarify that records compiled for law enforcement purposes by another agency and records provided by GAO to another agency for law enforcement purposes are not subject to disclosure. The existing regulatory language on this point is imprecise. The proposed changes would add steps to the procedures for using GAO's public reading facility, to facilitate the efficient use of the facility. Finally, the proposed revisions would make various housekeeping changes reflecting shifts in GAO's operating procedures. These proposed changes will clarify for the public which GAO documents are subject to this part and how to obtain such documents.

Assessments, Assessment Base and Rates
The FDIC is proposing to amend its regulations to implement revisions to the Federal Deposit Insurance Act made by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act regarding the definition of an institution's deposit insurance assessment base; alter the unsecured debt adjustment in light of the changes to the assessment base; add an adjustment for long-term debt held by an insured depository institution where the debt is issued by another insured depository institution; eliminate the secured liability adjustment; change the brokered deposit adjustment to conform to the change in the assessment base and change the way the adjustment will apply to large institutions; and revise deposit insurance assessment rate schedules, including base assessment rates, in light of the changes to the assessment base.
