NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION

36 CFR Part 1280

[NARA-06-0005]
RIN 3095-AB55


Use of NARA Facilities

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule revises NARA's policy on the inspection of 
personal property in the possession of a contractor, employee, student 
intern, visitor, volunteer or other person on NARA properties. Because 
NARA's current regulations apply specifically only to visitors on NARA 
property, the final rule clarifies that all persons arriving on, 
working at, visiting, or departing from NARA property are subject to 
the inspection of their personal property. The final rule also amends 
NARA's current regulations to include additional properties under NARA 
control. This rule will affect members of the public, members of 
Federal agencies, NARA employees, NARA contract-employees and NARA 
volunteers.

DATES: Effective Date: Effective January 19, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeffrey Landou at 301-837-1899 or fax 
number 301-837-0293.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed rule was published in the 
September 26, 2006, Federal Register (71 FR 56919) for a 60-day comment 
period. Notification of user groups occurred following publication of 
the proposed rule. NARA received no comments on the proposed rule and 
therefore is issuing the final rule with no changes.
    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 rule will not have a significant 
impact on a substantial number of small entities because the final rule 
affects NARA contractors, employees, student interns, visitors, 
volunteers and other persons on NARA controlled property. This 
regulation does not have any federalism implications. This rule is not 
a major rule as defined in 5 U.S.C. Chapter 8, Congressional Review of 
Agency Rulemaking.
