NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION

36 CFR Parts 1228, 1250, and 1254

RIN 3095-AB15


NARA Regulations; Technical Amendments

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: NARA is correcting references to NARA Web sites in its 
regulations. References to NARA Web sites are currently in our records 
management regulations and in our public availability and use of 
records regulations. This final rule will affect Federal agencies and 
the public.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 27, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kim Richardson at telephone number 
301-837-2902, or fax number 301-837-0319.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NARA has redesigned its public Web site and 
its Web site address is changed from www.nara.gov to www.archives.gov. 
Parts 1228, 1250, and 1254 contain references to the NARA Web site. 
These references need to be corrected to reflect the new Web site 
address. This final rule contains technical amendments such as 
references to NARA Web sites.
    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 minor technical amendments. 
Moreover, as the public benefits immediately being provided with 
accurate Web site addresses for NARA's public Web site, any delay in 
the effective date would be contrary to the public interest.
    This final rule is not a significant regulatory action for the 
purposes of Executive Order 12866 and has not been reviewed by the 
Office of Management and Budget. As required by the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act, I certify that this final rule will not have a 
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. This 
regulation does not have any federalism implications.
