Agency Guidance; Portal
AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
ACTION: Notice of centralized agency guidance portal.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are announcing that we have established an online
centralized portal that includes information about our guidance and a
searchable, indexed listing of, and links to, our guidance documents.
The portal, located on our website, does not displace other listings of
or links to our guidance documents in topic-specific sections of our
website.
DATES: The portal is online beginning February 28, 2020, although we
will be refining it and adding existing guidance through the end of May
2020.
ADDRESSES: The portal's URL is archives.gov/guidance.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kimberly Keravuori, Regulatory and
External Policy Program Manager, by mail at National Archives and
Records Administration, Suite 4100, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD
20740-6001, or by email at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive Order 13891, and OMB implementing
guidance memorandum M-20-02, require Federal agencies to establish an
online, centralized, searchable database of their guidance documents,
to include certain identifying information, and to provide information
on how to comment on open guidance and how to request revisions to the
agency's guidance. They also require agencies to publish notice in the
Federal Register of the new guidance portal.
Although the E.O. and OMB memorandum primarily discuss guidance
affecting the public, OMB has clarified that guidance affecting other
agencies must also be included in the portal. Most of our guidance
pertains to other Federal agencies, including records management
guidance, controlled unclassified information
[[Page 12032]]
guidance, and classified information guidance, and does not directly
affect the public. Agency and other users who already access our
guidance through the content-specific sections of our website (such as
the records management pages or the CUI pages) may continue to do so.
The guidance portal does not replace the information on those pages; it
simply pulls the guidance all together in an additional, centralized
location.

Archivist of the United States.
