Fall 2006 Regulatory Plan and Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and 
Deregulatory Actions

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration.

ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda.

_______________________________________________________________________

SUMMARY: This agenda announces the proposed regulatory actions that the 
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) plans for the next 
12 months and those actions that have been completed since the spring 
of 2006. This agenda was developed under the guidelines in OMB's 
Memorandum for Regulatory Policy Officers at Executive Departments and 
Agencies and Managing and Executive Directors of Certain Agencies and 
Commissions. NARA's purpose in publishing this agenda is to allow 
interested persons an opportunity to have more comprehensive 
documentation of NARA's regulatory plans and to participate in the 
rulemaking process. Some of the regulations listed in the agenda are 
considered significant under Executive Order 12866, ``Regulatory 
Planning and Review.''

    For this edition of NARA's regulatory agenda, the most 
important significant regulatory action is included in The 
Regulatory Plan, which appears in part II of this issue of the 
Federal Register. The Regulatory Plan entry is listed in the table 
of contents below and is denoted by a bracketed bold reference, 
which directs the reader to the appropriate sequence number in part 
II.

Contact, Policy and Planning Staff, (301) 837-1801.

3453. [bull] CHANGES IN NARA RESEARCH ROOM AND MUSEUM HOURS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 44 USC 2102 notes; 44 USC 2104(a); 44 USC 
2112(a)(1)(A)(iii); 44 USC 2903

CFR Citation: 36 CFR 1253; 36 CFR 1280

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: NARA is revising its regulations with respect to research 
room and museum hours at its facilities in the Washington, DC area. The 
operating costs for these facilities have been increasing every year, 
particularly for staffing, security services and utilities. In these 
times of fiscal restraint, NARA has determined reluctantly that it is 
necessary to curtail service during time frames when only a small 
percentage of our users are present to ensure that we are able to 
provide quality services to customers during the times of greatest 
public use while we are also conducting other mission-critical duties. 
This regulation will affect individuals who use our archival research 
rooms in the National Archives Building and National Archives at 
College Park facility, and individuals who visit the National Archives 
Experience and the Rotunda exhibits in the National Archives Building.
