National Archives and Records Administration March 16, 2022 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

We propose to revise a system of records in our existing inventory of systems subject to the Privacy Act of 1974. The system is NARA 1, Researcher Application Files. We are adding a new purpose/ routine use to notify researchers who use our facilities if they might have been exposed to COVID-19 while at our facility, to allow for similar notifications in the event of future public health emergencies, and to allow notification of health departments for collaborative efforts to address exposure and meet reporting requirements. We are also updating the SORN to reorganize the SORN into the current required format. In this notice, we publish the system of records notice in full for public notice and comment.
