NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION

36 CFR Part 1200

RIN 3095-AB48


Official Seals and Logos

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is 
proposing to update its regulations on the use of official NARA seals 
and logos by the public and other Federal agencies by updating two of 
the logos that are used. This part applies to the public and other 
Federal agencies.

DATES: Comments are due by April 25, 2006.

ADDRESSES: NARA invites interested persons to submit comments on this 
proposed rule. Comments may be submitted by any of the following 
methods:
    Mail: Send comments to: Regulation Comments Desk (NPOL), Room 4100, 
Policy and Planning Staff, National Archives and Records 
Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001.
    Fax: Submit comments by facsimile transmission to: 301-837-0319.
    E-Mail: Send comments to http://www.regulations.gov.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NARA has three official seals, which are 
primarily used to authenticate records in NARA's custody. NARA also has 
a number of official logos, which we use to represent our major 
programs, products, and services. Though the official NARA seals and 
logos are primarily reserved for NARA use, if certain conditions are 
met, the public and other Federal agencies may request to use the seals 
and logos with NARA's permission.
    We are proposing to include illustrations of two redesigned logos. 
The first is our Federal Records Center Program logo and the second is 
our National Historical Publications and Records Commission logo.
    This proposed 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 rule will not have a significant 
impact on a substantial number of small entities. This regulation does 
not have any federalism implications.
