[NARA-2020-022]


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

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.
