These Amendments in part added new requirements to the Presidential Records Act (PRA), which went into effect in 2014 and remain in effect, even without this proposed regulatory revision. The proposed changes make clear that, when we maintain electronic Presidential records on behalf of the President before the President's term of office expires, the President retains exclusive control over the records. In addition, the proposed changes establish procedures that we will follow to notify an incumbent President and former President when we propose to disclose Presidential records to the public, Congress, the courts, or the incumbent President under the provisions of the PRA allowing for access to Presidential records otherwise subject to restrictions. We began the regulatory revision process in response to the 2014 Amendments and issue this updated regulation to reduce confusion about access to Presidential records in light of these recent changes in the law. 81 FR 95542 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2016-12-28/2016-31011 2016-31011 fr28de16-33 RIN 3095-AB87 7515-01-P FDMS No. NARA-16-0005 NARA-2017-011 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2016-12-28/2016-31011 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-12-28/html/2016-31011.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-12-28/pdf/2016-31011.pdf Archives and Records Government in the Sunshine Act Open Government Presidential Records 6 p. 95542 95547 81 FR 95542 Title 36 Part 1270 36 CFR Part 1270 RIN 3095-AB87 Presidential Records; Federal Register Vol. 81, Issue PRORULE 2016-31011 NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION 2017-01-27 FDMS No. NARA-16-0005 NARA-2017-011 7515-01-P 2016-31011 Proposed rule.
