NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION

36 CFR Part 1253

RIN 3095-AA98


Location of NARA Facilities and Hours of Use

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The National Archives and Records Administration is revising 
its regulation that lists NARA facilities and hours when the public and 
other Federal agency staff may use the records in those facilities. 
This rule updates information on NARA facilities throughout the United 
States, including the addition of two new facilities and the deletion 
of a closed NARA facility. Additional revisions include corrections to 
addresses, providing e-mail addresses for the Presidential libraries, 
the addition and correction of phone and fax numbers, and, in some 
cases, modifications to the hours that these facilities are open for 
research. This rule affects members of the public who visit or do 
research at NARA facilities.

DATES: This rule is effective June 22, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Shawn Morton at telephone number 301-
713-7360, ext. 253, or fax number 301-713-7270.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NARA published a notice of proposed 
rulemaking on May 8, 2000, at 65 FR 26542. The comment period ended 
June 7, 2000. NARA received no public comments.
    This rule is effective upon publication for ``good cause'' as 
permitted by the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3)). 
NARA believes that delaying the effective date for 30 days is 
unnecessary as this rule represents a minor technical amendment. 
Moreover, as the public benefits immediately being provided with 
accurate contact information for all current NARA facilities, any delay 
in the effective date would be contrary to the public interest.
    This rule is not a significant regulatory action for purposes of 
Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 1993, and has not been reviewed 
by the Office of Management and Budget. As required by the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act, it is hereby certified that this rule will not have a 
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule 
does not have federalism implications. It is not a major rule as 
defined in 5 U.S.C. chapter 8.
