NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION

36 CFR Part 1253

RIN 3095-AB94


Location of NARA Facilities and Hours of Use: Barack Obama 
Library

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration.

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: NARA is amending our Location of NARA Facilities and Hours of 
Use regulation to add the address and contact information for the 
Barack Obama Presidential Library. These changes will affect all people 
who wish to access records from the Barack Obama Presidential 
administration.

DATES: This rule is effective on March 27, 2017 without further notice, 
unless we receive adverse written comment that warrants revision by 
March 15, 2017. If we receive such comments, we will publish a timely 
withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register and inform 
the public that the rule will not take effect.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kimberly Keravuori, by telephone at 
301-837-3151, by email at [email protected], or by mail at

Regulatory Review Information

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action for the purposes 
of E.O. 12866 and has been reviewed by the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB). It is also not a major rule as defined in 5 U.S.C. 
Chapter 8, Congressional Review of Agency Rulemaking. As required by 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act, we certify that this rule will not have 
a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. It 
simply adds address and contact information for a new NARA facility.
    NARA believes that a public comment period is unnecessary as this 
rule simply adds a new NARA facility, so it meets the good cause 
exception under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.(b)(3)(B)). 
This rule also does not have any Federalism implications.
