NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION


Records Schedules; Availability and Request for Comments

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration, Office of Records 
Administration.

ACTION: Notice of availability of proposed records schedules; request 
for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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). Records 
schedules identify records of sufficient value to warrant preservation 
in the National Archives of the United States. Schedules also authorize 
agencies after a specified period to dispose of records lacking 
administrative, legal, research, or other value. Notice is published 
for records schedules that (1) Propose the destruction of records not 
previously authorized for disposal, or (2) reduce the retention period 
for records already authorized for disposal. NARA invites public 
comments on such schedules, as required by 44 USC 3303a(a).

DATES: Request for copies must be received in writing on or before May 
5, 1995. Once the appraisal of the records is completed, NARA will send 
a copy of the schedule. The requester will be given 30 days to submit 
comments.

ADDRESSES: Address requests for single copies of schedules identified 
in this notice to the Records Appraisal and Disposition Division (NIR), 
National Archives and Records Administration, College Park, MD 20740. 
Requesters must cite the control number assigned to each schedule when 
requesting a copy. The control number appears in the parentheses 
immediately after the name of the requesting agency.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Each year U.S. Government agencies create billions of records on paper, 
film, magnetic tape, and other media. In order to control this 
accumulation, agency records managers prepare records schedules 
specifying when the agency no longer needs the records and what happens 
to the records after this period. Some schedules are comprehensive and 
cover all the records of an agency or one of its major subdivisions. 
These comprehensive schedules provide for the eventual transfer to the 
National Archives of historically valuable records and authorize the 
disposal of all other records. Most schedules, however, cover records 
of only one office or program or a few series of records, and many are 
updates of previously approved schedules. Such schedules also may 
include records that are designated for permanent retention.
    Destruction of records requires the approval of the Archivist of 
the United States. This approval is granted after a thorough study of 
the records that takes into account 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 historical or 
other value.
    This public notice identifies the Federal agencies and their 
subdivisions requesting disposition authority, includes the control 
number assigned to each schedule, and briefly describes the records 
proposed for disposal. The records schedule contains additional 
information about the records and their disposition. Further 
information about the disposition process will be furnished to each 
requester.
