-HEAD-
    Sec. 308. Disbursing officer; deputy disbursing officer; certifying
      officers and employees

-STATUTE-
      (a) The Public Printer shall appoint from time to time a
    disbursing officer of the Government Printing Office (including the
    Office of the Superintendent of Documents) who shall be under the
    direction of the Public Printer. The disbursing officer shall (1)
    disburse moneys of the Government Printing Office only upon, and in
    strict accordance with, vouchers certified by the Public Printer or
    by an officer or employee of the Government Printing Office
    authorized in writing by the Public Printer to certify such
    vouchers, (2) make such examination of vouchers as may be necessary
    to ascertain whether they are in proper form, certified, and
    approved, and (3) be held accountable accordingly. However, the
    disbursing officer shall not be held accountable or responsible for
    any illegal, improper, or incorrect payment resulting from any
    false, inaccurate, or misleading certificate, the responsibility
    for which, under subsection (c) of this section, is imposed upon a
    certifying officer or employee of the Government Printing Office.
      (b)(1) Upon the death, resignation, or separation from office of
    the disbursing officer, his accounts may be continued, and payments
    and collection may be made in his name, by any individual
    designated as a deputy disbursing officer by the Public Printer,
    for a period of time not to extend beyond the last day of the
    second month following the month in which the death, resignation,
    or separation occurred. Accounts and payments shall be allowed,
    audited, and settled, and checks signed in the name of the former
    disbursing officer by a deputy disbursing officer shall be honored
    in the same manner as if the former disbursing officer had
    continued in office.
      (2) A former disbursing officer of the Government Printing Office
    or his estate may not be subject to any legal liability or penalty
    for the official accounts or defaults of the deputy disbursing
    officer acting in the name or in the place of the former disbursing
    officer. Each deputy disbursing officer is responsible for accounts
    entrusted to him under paragraph (1) of this subsection, and the
    deputy disbursing officer is liable for any default occurring
    during his service under such paragraph.
      (c)(1) The Public Printer may designate in writing officers and
    employees of the Government Printing Office to certify vouchers for
    payment from appropriations and funds. Such officers and employees
    shall (A) be responsible for the existence and correctness of the
    facts recited in the certificate or other voucher or its supporting
    papers and for the legality of the proposed payment under the
    appropriation or fund involved, (B) be responsible and accountable
    for the correctness of the computations of certified vouchers, and
    (C) be accountable for, and required to make restitution to, the
    United States for the amount of any illegal, improper, or incorrect
    payment resulting from any false, inaccurate, or misleading
    certificate made by him, as well as for any payment prohibited by
    law or which did not represent a legal obligation under the
    appropriation or fund involved. However, the Comptroller General of
    the United States, may, at his discretion, relieve such certifying
    officer or employee of liability for any payment otherwise proper
    whenever he finds that (i) the certification was based on the
    official records and that such certifying officer or employee did
    not know, and by reasonable diligence and inquiry could not have
    ascertained, the actual facts, or (ii) when the obligation was
    incurred in good faith, the payment was not contrary to any
    statutory provision specifically prohibiting payments of the
    character involved, and the United States has received value for
    such payment. The Comptroller General shall relieve such certifying
    officer or employee of liability for an overpayment for
    transportation services made to any common carrier covered by
    section 3726 of title 31, whenever he finds that the overpayment
    occurred solely because the administrative examination made prior
    to payment of the transportation bill did not include a
    verification of transportation rates, freight classifications, or
    land grant deductions.
      (2) The liability of such certifying officers or employees shall
    be enforced in the same manner and to the same extent as provided
    by law with respect to the enforcement of the liability of
    disbursing and other accountable officers. Such certifying officers
    and employees shall have the right to apply for and obtain a
    decision by the Comptroller General on any question of law involved
    in a payment on any vouchers presented to them for certification.

                          VEGETABLE INK PRINTING                      
      Pub. L. 103-348, Oct. 6, 1994, 108 Stat. 3133, provided that:

      "SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
      "This Act may be cited as the 'Vegetable Ink Printing Act of
    1994'."

      "SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
      "(a) Findings. - The Congress finds the following:
        "(1) More than 95 percent of Federal printing involving
      documents or publications is performed using lithographic inks.
        "(2) Various types of oil, including petroleum and vegetable
      oil, are used in lithographic ink.
        "(3) Increasing the amount of vegetable oil used in a
      lithographic ink would - 
          "(A) help reduce the Nation's use of nonrenewable energy
        resources;
          "(B) result in the use of products that are less damaging to
        the environment;
          "(C) result in a reduction of volatile organic compound
        emissions; and
          "(D) increase the use of renewable agricultural products.
        "(4) The technology exists to use vegetable oil in lithographic
      ink and, in some applications, to use lithographic ink that uses
      no petroleum distillates in the liquid portion of the ink.
        "(5) Some lithographic inks have contained vegetable oils for
      many years; other lithographic inks have more recently begun to
      use vegetable oil.
        "(6) According to the Government Printing Office, using
      vegetable oil-based ink appears to add little if any additional
      cost to Government printing.
        "(7) Use of vegetable oil-based ink in Federal Government
      printing should further develop - 
          "(A) the commercial viability of vegetable oil-based ink,
        which could result in demand, for domestic use alone, for
        2,500,000,000 pounds of vegetable crops or 500,000,000 pounds
        of vegetable oil; and
          "(B) a product that could help the United States retain or
        enlarge its share of the world market for vegetable oil-ink.
      "(b) Purpose. - The purpose of this Act is to require that all
    lithographic printing using ink containing oil that is performed or
    procured by a Federal agency shall use ink containing the maximum
    amounts of vegetable oil and materials derived from other renewable
    resources that - 
        "(1) are technologically feasible, and
        "(2) result in printing costs that are competitive with
      printing using petroleum-based inks.

      "SEC. 3. FEDERAL PRINTING REQUIREMENTS.
      "(a) General Rule. - Notwithstanding any other law, and except as
    provided in subsection (b), a Federal agency may not perform or
    procure lithographic printing that uses ink containing oil if the
    ink contains less than the following percentage of vegetable oil:
        "(1) In the case of news ink, 40 percent.
        "(2) In the case of sheet-fed ink, 20 percent.
        "(3) In the case of forms ink, 20 percent.
        "(4) In the case of heat-set ink, 10 percent.
      "(b) Exceptions. - 
        "(1) Exceptions. - Subsection (a) shall not apply to
      lithographic printing performed or procured by a Federal agency,
      if - 
          "(A) the head of the agency determines, after consultation
        with the Public Printer and within the 3-year period ending on
        the date of the commencement of the printing or the date of
        that procurement, respectively, that vegetable oil-based ink is
        not suitable to meet specific, identified requirements of the
        agency related to the printing; or
          "(B) the Public Printer determines - 
            "(i) within the 3-month period ending on the date of the
          commencement of the printing, in the case of printing of
          materials that are printed at intervals of less than 6
          months, or
            "(ii) before the date of the commencement of the printing,
          in the case of printing of materials that are printed at
          intervals of 6 months or more;
      that the cost of performing the printing using vegetable oil-
      based ink is significantly greater than the cost of performing
      the printing using other available ink.
        "(2) Notice to congress. - Not later than 30 days after making
      a determination under paragraph (1)(A), the head of a Federal
      agency shall report the determination to the Committee on
      Government Operations [now Committee on Government Reform] and
      the Committee on House Administration of the House of
      Representatives, and the Committee on Rules of the Senate.
      "(c) Federal Agency Defined. - In this Act, the term 'Federal
    agency' means - 
        "(1) an executive department, military department, Government
      corporation, Government-controlled corporation, or other
      establishment in the executive branch of the Government
      (including the Executive Office of the President), or any
      independent regulatory agency; and
        "(2) an establishment or component of the legislative or
      judicial branch of the Government."

                    NATIONAL POLICY ON PERMANENT PAPERS                
      Pub. L. 101-423, Oct. 12, 1990, 104 Stat. 912, provided that:
    "Whereas it is now widely recognized and scientifically
      demonstrated that the acidic papers commonly used for more than a
      century in documents, books, and other publications are self-
      destructing and will continue to self destruct;
    "Whereas Americans are facing the prospect of continuing to lose
      national, historical, scientific, and scholarly records,
      including government records, faster than salvage efforts can be
      mounted despite the dedicated efforts of many libraries,
      archives, and agencies, such as the Library of Congress and the
      National Archives and Records Administration;
    "Whereas nationwide hundreds of millions of dollars will have to be
      spent by the Federal, State, and local governments and private
      institutions to salvage the most essential books and other
      materials in the libraries and archives of government, academic,
      and private institutions;
    "Whereas paper manufacturers can produce a sufficient supply of
      acid free permanent papers with a life of several hundred years,
      at prices competitive with acid papers, if publishers would
      specify the use of such papers, and some publishers and many
      university presses are already publishing on acid free permanent
      papers;
    "Whereas most Government agencies do not require the use of acid
      free permanent papers for appropriate Federal records and
      publications;
    "Whereas librarians, publishers, and other professional groups have
      urged the use of acid free permanent papers;
    "Whereas even when books are printed on acid free permanent paper
      this fact is often not made known to libraries by notations in
      the book or by notations in standard bibliographic listings; and
    "Whereas there is an urgent need to prevent the continuance of the
      acid paper problem in the future: Now, therefore, be it
      "Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
    United States of America in Congress assembled,
      "Section 1. It is the policy of the United States that Federal
    records, books, and publications of enduring value be produced on
    acid free permanent papers.
      "Sec. 2. The Congress of the United States urgently recommends
    that - 
        "(1) Federal agencies require the use of acid free permanent
      papers for publications of enduring value produced by the
      Government Printing Office or produced by Federal grant or
      contract, using the specifications for such paper established by
      the Joint Committee on Printing;
        "(2) Federal agencies require the use of archival quality acid
      free papers for permanently valuable Federal records and confer
      with the National Archives and Records Administration on the
      requirements for paper quality;
        "(3) American publishers and State and local governments use
      acid free permanent papers for publications of enduring value, in
      voluntary compliance with the American National Standard;
        "(4) all publishers, private and governmental, prominently note
      the use of acid free permanent paper in books, advertisements,
      catalogs, and standard bibliographic listings; and
        "(5) the Secretary of State, Librarian of Congress, Archivist
      of the United States, and other Federal officials make known the
      national policy regarding acid free permanent papers to foreign
      governments and appropriate international agencies since the acid
      paper problem is worldwide and essential foreign materials being
      imported by our libraries are printed on acid papers.
      "Sec. 3. The Librarian of Congress, the Archivist of the United
    States, and the Public Printer shall jointly monitor the Federal
    Government's progress in implementing the national policy declared
    in section 1 regarding acid free permanent papers and shall report
    to the Congress regarding such progress on December 31, 1991,
    December 31, 1993, and December 31, 1995. In carrying out the
    monitoring and reporting functions under this section, the
    Librarian of Congress, the Archivist of the United States, and the
    Public Printer may consult with the National Endowment for the
    Humanities, National Agricultural Library, National Library of
    Medicine, other Federal and State agencies, international
    organizations, private publishers, paper manufacturers, and other
    organizations with an interest in preservation of books and
    historical papers."

-HEAD-
    Sec. 701. "Usual number" of documents and reports; distribution of
      House and Senate documents and reports; binding; reports on
      private bills; number of copies printed; distribution

-STATUTE-
      (a) The order by either House of Congress to print a document or
    report shall signify the "usual number" of copies for binding and
    distribution among those entitled to receive them. A greater number
    may not be printed unless ordered by either House, or as provided
    by this section. When a special number of a document or report is
    ordered printed, the usual number shall also be printed, unless
    already ordered.
      (b) The "usual number" of documents and reports shall be one
    thousand six hundred and eighty-two copies, which shall be printed
    at one time and distributed as follows:
      Of the House documents and reports, unbound - to the Senate
    document room, one hundred and fifty copies; to the office of the
    Secretary of the Senate, ten copies; to the House document room,
    not to exceed five hundred copies; to the office of the Clerk of
    the House of Representatives, twenty copies; to the Library of
    Congress, ten copies, as provided by section 1718 of this title.
      Of the Senate documents and reports, unbound - to the Senate
    document room, two hundred and twenty copies; office of the
    Secretary of the Senate, ten copies; to the House document room,
    not to exceed five hundred copies; to the Clerk's office of the
    House of Representatives, ten copies; to the Library of Congress,
    ten copies, as provided by section 1718 of this title.
      (c) Of the number printed, the Public Printer shall bind a
    sufficient number of copies for distribution as follows:
      Of the House documents and reports, bound - to the Senate
    library, fifteen copies; to the Library of Congress, not to exceed
    one hundred and fifty copies, as provided by section 1718 of this
    title; to the House of Representatives library, fifteen copies; to
    the Superintendent of Documents, as many copies as are required for
    distribution to the State libraries and designated depositories.
      Of the Senate documents and reports, bound - to the Senate
    library, fifteen copies; to the Library of Congress, copies as
    provided by sections 1718 and 1719 of this title; to the House of
    Representatives library, fifteen copies; to the Superintendent of
    Documents, as many copies as may be required for distribution to
    State libraries and designated depositories. In binding documents
    the Public Printer shall give precedence to those that are to be
    distributed to libraries and to designated depositories. But a
    State library or designated depository entitled to documents that
    may prefer to have its documents in unbound form, may do so by
    notifying the Superintendent of Documents to that effect prior to
    the convening of each Congress.
      (d) The usual number of reports on private bills, concurrent or
    simple resolutions, may not be printed. Instead there shall be
    printed of each Senate report on a private bill, simple or
    concurrent resolution, in addition to those required to be
    furnished the Library of Congress, three hundred and forty-five
    copies, which shall be distributed as follows: to the Senate
    document room, two hundred and twenty copies; to the Secretary of
    the Senate, fifteen copies; to the House document room, one hundred
    copies; to the Superintendent of Documents, ten copies; and of each
    House report on a private bill, simple or concurrent resolution, in
    addition to those for the Library of Congress, two hundred and
    sixty copies, which shall be distributed as follows: to the Senate
    document room, one hundred and thirty-five copies; to the Secretary
    of the Senate, fifteen copies; to the House document room, one
    hundred copies; to the Superintendent of Documents, ten copies.
      This section does not prevent the binding of all Senate and House
    reports in the reserve volumes bound for and delivered to the
    Senate and House libraries, nor abridge the right of the Vice
    President, Senators, Representatives, Resident Commissioner,
    Secretary of the Senate, and Clerk of the House to have bound in
    half morocco, or material not more expensive, one copy of every
    public document to which he may be entitled. At least twelve copies
    of each report on bills for the payment or adjudication of claims
    against the Government shall be kept on file in the Senate document
    room.

      Publications ordered printed by Congress, or either House, shall
    be in four series, namely:

      orders for printing which originate in the Senate, to be known as
      Senate documents; and
        one series of documents other than committee reports, the
      orders for printing which originate in the House of
      Representatives, to be known as House documents.

      The publications in each series shall be consecutively numbered,
    the numbers in each series continuing in unbroken sequence
    throughout the entire term of a Congress, but these provisions do

    depositories of annual or serial publications originating in or
    prepared by an executive department, bureau, office, commission, or
    board may not be numbered in the document or report series of

    bound as provided by section 738 of this title; and the
    departmental edition, if any, shall be printed concurrently with
    the "usual number." Hearings of committees may be printed as
    congressional documents only when specifically ordered by Congress
    or either House.

-STATUTE-
      The Public Printer on order of a Member of Congress, on
    prepayment of the cost, may reprint documents and reports of
    committees together with the evidence papers submitted, or any part
    ordered printed by the Congress.
      He may also furnish without cost to Members and the Resident
    Commissioner from Puerto Rico, blank franks printed on sheets and
    perforated, or singly at their option, for public documents. Franks
    shall contain in the upper left-hand corner the following words:
    "Public document. United States Senate" or "House of
    Representatives U.S." and in the upper right-hand corner the
    letters "U.S.S." or "M. C." Franks may also contain information
    relating to missing children as provided in section 3220 of title
    39. But he may not print any other words except where it is
    desirable to affix the official title of a document. Other words
    printed on franks shall be at the personal expense of the Member or
    Resident Commissioner ordering them.
      At the request of a Member of Congress or Resident Commissioner
    the Public Printer may print upon franks or envelopes used for
    mailing public documents the facsimile signature of the Member or
    Resident Commissioner and a special request for return if not
    called for, and the name of the State or Commonwealth and county
    and city. The Member or Resident Commissioner shall deposit with
    his order the extra expense involved in printing these additional
    words.
      The Public Printer may also, at the request of a Member or
    Resident Commissioner, print on envelopes authorized to be
    furnished, the name of the Member or Resident Commissioner, and
    State or Commonwealth, the date, and the topic or subject matter,
    not exceeding twelve words.
      The Public Printer shall deposit moneys accruing under this
    section in the Treasury of the United States to the credit of the
    appropriation made for the working capital of the Government
    Printing Office for the year in which the work is done. He shall
    account for them in his annual report to Congress.

      Section 893 of Title 48, U.S. Code, provides that: "The Resident

    Commissioner as to printing of franks.

-HEAD-
    Sec. 1307. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration:
      nautical products, sale and distribution

-STATUTE-
      (a)(1) All nautical products created or published by the National
    Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shall be sold at such prices
    as the Secretary of Commerce shall establish annually, in
    accordance with the provisions of this subsection. The Secretary
    shall publish annually the prices at which nautical products are
    sold to the public.
      (2)(A) Subject to subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, the prices
    of nautical products may be increased over a period of not less
    than three years after the date of enactment of this section so as
    to recover all costs attributable to data base management,
    compilation, printing, and distribution of such products. The
    prices of such products may be maintained to recover all such costs
    thereafter.
      (B) The Secretary, after consultation with the Secretary of
    Transportation, shall adjust the prices of nautical products in
    such manner as is necessary to avoid any adverse impact on marine
    safety attributable to the prices specified in subparagraph (A) of
    this paragraph.
      (3) This section shall not be construed to require the
    establishment of any price for a nautical product where, in the
    judgment of the Secretary, furnishing of that product to a
    recipient is a reasonable exchange for voluntary contribution of
    information by the recipient to a program of the National Oceanic
    and Atmospheric Administration.
      (4) Prices established under this section may not include costs
    attributable to the acquisition or processing of nautical data.
      (b) Fees collected from the sale of nautical products under this
    section and from any licensing of such products which is permitted
    under any other provision of law shall be deposited in the
    miscellaneous receipts fund of the United States Treasury.
      (c) The Secretary may distribute nautical products - 
        (1) without charge to each foreign government or international
      organization with which the Secretary or a Federal department or
      agency has an agreement for exchange of these products without
      cost; and
        (2) at prices which the Secretary establishes, to the
      departments and officers of the United States requiring them for
      official use.

      (d) The fees provided for in this section are for the purpose of
    reimbursing the United States Government for the costs of creating,
    publishing or distributing nautical products of the National
    Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The collection of fees
    authorized by this section shall not alter or expand any duty or
    liability of the United States under existing law for the
    performance of functions for which fees are collected, nor shall
    the collection of fees constitute an express or implied undertaking
    by the United States to perform any activity in a certain manner.
      (e) For purposes of this section, the term "nautical products"
    includes all nautical charts, tide and tidal current tables, tidal
    current charts, coast pilots, water level products, and associated
    data bases which are created or published by the National Oceanic
    and Atmospheric Administration.

    Sec. 1505. Documents to be published in Federal Register

-STATUTE-
      (a) Proclamations and Executive Orders; Documents Having General
    Applicability and Legal Effect; Documents Required To Be Published
    by Congress. There shall be published in the Federal Register - 
        (1) Presidential proclamations and Executive orders, except
      those not having general applicability and legal effect or
      effective only against Federal agencies or persons in their
      capacity as officers, agents, or employees thereof;
        (2) documents or classes of documents that the President may
      determine from time to time have general applicability and legal
      effect; and
        (3) documents or classes of documents that may be required so
      to be published by Act of Congress.

      For the purposes of this chapter every document or order which
    prescribes a penalty has general applicability and legal effect.
      (b) Documents Authorized To Be Published by Regulations; Comments
    and News Items Excluded. In addition to the foregoing there shall
    also be published in the Federal Register other documents or
    classes of documents authorized to be published by regulations
    prescribed under this chapter with the approval of the President,
    but comments or news items of any character may not be published in
    the Federal Register.
      (c) Suspension of Requirements for Filing of Documents; Alternate
    Systems for Promulgating, Filing, or Publishing Documents;
    Preservation of Originals. In the event of an attack or threatened
    attack upon the continental United States and a determination by
    the President that as a result of an attack or threatened attack - 
        (1) publication of the Federal Register or filing of documents
      with the Office of the Federal Register is impracticable, or
        (2) under existing conditions publication in the Federal
      Register would not serve to give appropriate notice to the public
      of the contents of documents, the President may, without regard
      to any other provision of law, suspend all or part of the
      requirements of law or regulation for filing with the Office or
      publication in the Federal Register of documents or classes of
      documents.

      The suspensions shall remain in effect until revoked by the
    President, or by concurrent resolution of the Congress. The
    President shall establish alternate systems for promulgating,
    filing, or publishing documents or classes of documents affected by
    such suspensions, including requirements relating to their
    effectiveness or validity, that may be considered under the then
    existing circumstances practicable to provide public notice of the
    issuance and of the contents of the documents. The alternate
    systems may, without limitation, provide for the use of regional or
    specialized publications or depositories for documents, or of the
    press, the radio, or similar mediums of general communication.
    Compliance with alternate systems of filing or publication shall
    have the same effect as filing with the Office or publication in
    the Federal Register under this chapter or other law or regulation.
    With respect to documents promulgated under alternate systems, each
    agency shall preserve the original and two duplicate originals or
    two certified copies for filing with the Office when the President
    determines that it is practicable.

      Federal Register as presumption of validity; judicial notice;
      citation

-STATUTE-
      A document required by section 1505(a) of this title to be
    published in the Federal Register is not valid as against a person
    who has not had actual knowledge of it until the duplicate
    originals or certified copies of the document have been filed with
    the Office of the Federal Register and a copy made available for
    public inspection as provided by section 1503 of this title. Unless
    otherwise specifically provided by statute, filing of a document,
    required or authorized to be published by section 1505 of this
    title, except in cases where notice by publication is insufficient
    in law, is sufficient to give notice of the contents of the
    document to a person subject to or affected by it. The publication
    in the Federal Register of a document creates a rebuttable
    presumption - 
        (1) that it was duly issued, prescribed, or promulgated;
        (2) that it was filed with the Office of the Federal Register
      and made available for public inspection at the day and hour
      stated in the printed notation;
        (3) that the copy contained in the Federal Register is a true
      copy of the original; and
        (4) that all requirements of this chapter and the regulations
      prescribed under it relative to the document have been complied
      with.

      The contents of the Federal Register shall be judicially noticed
    and without prejudice to any other mode of citation, may be cited
    by volume and page number.

    otherwise properly be given, shall be deemed to have been given to
    all persons residing within the States of the Union and the

    is insufficient in law, when the notice is published in the Federal
    Register at such a time that the period between the publication and
    the date fixed in the notice for the hearing or for the termination
    of the opportunity to be heard is - 
        (1) not less than the time specifically prescribed for the
      publication of the notice by the appropriate Act of Congress; or
        (2) not less than fifteen days when time for publication is not
      specifically prescribed by the Act, without prejudice, however,

    increase or decrease the number of copies of publications furnished
    for distribution to designated depository libraries and State
    libraries so that the number of copies delivered to the

    publications furnished the Superintendent of Documents for
    distribution to designated depository libraries shall include - 
        the journals of the Senate and House of Representatives;
        all publications, not confidential in character, printed upon

    be borne by components of the Government responsible for their
    issuance; those requisitioned from the Government Printing Office
    shall be charged to appropriations provided the Superintendent of
    Documents for that purpose.

    Sec. 1905. Distribution to depositories; designation of additional
      libraries; justification; authorization for certain designations

-STATUTE-
      The Government publications selected from lists prepared by the
    Superintendent of Documents, and when requested from him, shall be
    distributed to depository libraries specifically designated by law
    and to libraries designated by Senators, Representatives, and the
    Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico, by the Commissioner of the
    District of Columbia,(!1) and by the Governors of Guam, American
    Samoa, and the Virgin Islands, respectively. Additional libraries
    within areas served by Representatives or the Resident Commissioner
    from Puerto Rico may be designated by them to receive Government
    publications to the extent that the total number of libraries
    designated by them does not exceed two within each area. Not more
    than two additional libraries within a State may be designated by
    each Senator from the State. Before an additional library within a
    State, congressional district or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico is
    designated as a depository for Government publications, the head of
    that library shall furnish his Senator, Representative, or the
    Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico, as the case may be, with
    justification of the necessity for the additional designation. The
    justification, which shall also include a certification as to the
    need for the additional depository library designation, shall be
    signed by the head of every existing depository library within the
    congressional district or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico or by the
    head of the library authority of the State or the Commonwealth of
    Puerto Rico, within which the additional depository library is to
    be located. The justification for additional depository library
    designations shall be transmitted to the Superintendent of
    Documents by the Senator, Representative, or the Resident
    Commissioner from Puerto Rico, as the case may be. The Commissioner
    of the District of Columbia may designate two depository libraries
    in the District of Columbia, the Governor of Guam and the Governor
    of American Samoa may each designate one depository library in Guam
    and American Samoa, respectively, and the Governor of the Virgin
    Islands may designate one depository library on the island of Saint
    Thomas and one on the island of Saint Croix.

-STATUTE-
      Only a library able to provide custody and service for depository
    materials and located in an area where it can best serve the public
    need, and within an area not already adequately served by existing
    depository libraries may be designated by Senators,
    Representatives, the Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico, the
    Commissioner of the District of Columbia,(!1) or the Governors of
    Guam, American Samoa, or the Virgin Islands as a depository of
    Government publications. The designated depository libraries shall
    report to the Superintendent of Documents at least every two years
    concerning their condition.

      The Superintendent of Documents shall make firsthand
    investigation of conditions for which need is indicated and include
    the results of investigations in his annual report. When he
    ascertains that the number of books in a depository library is
    below ten thousand, other than Government publications, or it has
    ceased to be maintained so as to be accessible to the public, or
    that the Government publications which have been furnished the
    library have not been properly maintained, he shall delete the
    library from the list of depository libraries if the library fails
    to correct the unsatisfactory conditions within six months. The
    Representative or the Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico in
    whose area the library is located or the Senator who made the
    designation, or a successor of the Senator, and, in the case of a
    library in the District of Columbia, the Commissioner of the
    District of Columbia, and, in the case of a library in Guam,
    American Samoa, or the Virgin Islands, the Governor, shall be
    notified and shall then be authorized to designate another library
    within the area served by him, which shall meet the conditions
    herein required, but which may not be in excess of the number of
    depository libraries authorized by laws within the State, district,
    territory, or the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, as the case may be.

    form (except those authorized to be discarded by the Superintendent
    of Documents); and within the region served will provide

      The libraries designated as regional depositories may permit
    depository libraries, within the areas served by them, to dispose
    of Government publications which they have retained for five years
    after first offering them to other depository libraries within
    their area, then to other libraries.

      "This Act may be cited as the 'President John F. Kennedy
    Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992'.

      "SEC. 2. FINDINGS, DECLARATIONS, AND PURPOSES.
      "(a) Findings and Declarations. - The Congress finds and declares
    that - 
        "(1) all Government records related to the assassination of
      President John F. Kennedy should be preserved for historical and
      governmental purposes;
        "(2) all Government records concerning the assassination of
      President John F. Kennedy should carry a presumption of immediate
      disclosure, and all records should be eventually disclosed to
      enable the public to become fully informed about the history
      surrounding the assassination;
        "(3) legislation is necessary to create an enforceable,
      independent, and accountable process for the public disclosure of
      such records;
        "(4) legislation is necessary because congressional records
      related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy would
      not otherwise be subject to public disclosure until at least the
      year 2029;
        "(5) legislation is necessary because the Freedom of
      Information Act [5 U.S.C. 552], as implemented by the executive
      branch, has prevented the timely public disclosure of records
      relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy;
        "(6) legislation is necessary because Executive Order No. 12356
      [50 U.S.C. 435 note], entitled 'National Security Information'
      has eliminated the declassification and downgrading schedules
      relating to classified information across government and has
      prevented the timely public disclosure of records relating to the
      assassination of President John F. Kennedy; and
        "(7) most of the records related to the assassination of
      President John F. Kennedy are almost 30 years old, and only in
      the rarest cases is there any legitimate need for continued
      protection of such records.
      "(b) Purposes. - The purposes of this Act are - 
        "(1) to provide for the creation of the President John F.
      Kennedy Assassination Records Collection at the National Archives
      and Records Administration; and
        "(2) to require the expeditious public transmission to the
      Archivist and public disclosure of such records.

    that - 
        "(1) the threat to the military defense, intelligence
      operations, or conduct of foreign relations of the United States
      posed by the public disclosure of the assassination record is of
      such gravity that it outweighs the public interest, and such
      public disclosure would reveal - 
          "(A) an intelligence agent whose identity currently requires
        protection;
          "(B) an intelligence source or method which is currently
        utilized, or reasonably expected to be utilized, by the United
        States Government and which has not been officially disclosed,
        the disclosure of which would interfere with the conduct of
        intelligence activities; or
          "(C) any other matter currently relating to the military
        defense, intelligence operations or conduct of foreign
        relations of the United States, the disclosure of which would
        demonstrably impair the national security of the United States;
        "(2) the public disclosure of the assassination record would
      reveal the name or identity of a living person who provided
      confidential information to the United States and would pose a
      substantial risk of harm to that person;
        "(3) the public disclosure of the assassination record could
      reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of
      personal privacy, and that invasion of privacy is so substantial
      that it outweighs the public interest;
        "(4) the public disclosure of the assassination record would
      compromise the existence of an understanding of confidentiality
      currently requiring protection between a Government agent and a
      cooperating individual or a foreign government, and public
      disclosure would be so harmful that it outweighs the public
      interest; or
        "(5) the public disclosure of the assassination record would
      reveal a security or protective procedure currently utilized, or
      reasonably expected to be utilized, by the Secret Service or
      another Government agency responsible for protecting Government
      officials, and public disclosure would be so harmful that it
      outweighs the public interest.

    Sec. 2108. Responsibility for custody, use, and withdrawal of
      records

-STATUTE-
      (a) The Archivist shall be responsible for the custody, use, and
    withdrawal of records transferred to him. When records, the use of
    which is subject to statutory limitations and restrictions, are so
    transferred, permissive and restrictive statutory provisions with
    respect to the examination and use of records applicable to the
    head of the agency from which the records were transferred or to
    employees of that agency are applicable to the Archivist and to the
    employees of the National Archives and Records Administration,
    respectively. Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section,
    when the head of a Federal agency states, in writing, restrictions
    that appear to him to be necessary or desirable in the public
    interest with respect to the use or examination of records being
    considered for transfer from his custody to the Archivist, the
    Archivist shall, if he concurs,,(!1) impose such restrictions on
    the records so transferred, and may not relax or remove such
    restrictions without the written concurrence of the head of the
    agency from which the material was transferred, or of his successor
    in function, if any. In the event that a Federal agency is
    terminated and there is no successor in function, the Archivist is
    authorized to relax, remove, or impose restrictions on such
    agency's records when he determines that such action is in the
    public interest. Statutory and other restrictions referred to in
    this subsection shall remain in force until the records have been
    in existence for thirty years unless the Archivist by order, having
    consulted with the head of the transferring Federal agency or his
    successor in function, determines, with respect to specific bodies
    of records, that for reasons consistent with standards established
    in relevant statutory law, such restrictions shall remain in force
    for a longer period. Restriction on the use or examination of
    records deposited with the National Archives of the United States
    imposed by section 3 of the National Archives Act, approved June
    19, 1934, shall continue in force regardless of the expiration of
    the tenure of office of the official who imposed them but may be
    removed or relaxed by the Archivist with the concurrence in writing
    of the head of the agency from which material was transferred or of
    his successor in function, if any.

      (b) With regard to the census and survey records of the Bureau of
    the Census containing data identifying individuals enumerated in
    population censuses, any release pursuant to this section of such
    identifying information contained in such records shall be made by
    the Archivist pursuant to the specifications and agreements set
    forth in the exchange of correspondence on or about the date of
    October 10, 1952, between the Director of the Bureau of the Census
    and the Archivist of the United States, together with all
    amendments thereto, now or hereafter entered into between the
    Director of the Bureau of the Census and the Archivist of the
    United States. Such amendments, if any, shall be published in the

    provisions for the exhibition of materials transferred to him; and.
      WHEREAS many of the exhibits and displays so prepared, produced,

      NOW, THEREFORE, by virtue of the authority vested in me, as
    President of the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:

    exhibits or displays which the Archivist finds appropriate for
    supplemental exhibition as part of the archival and cultural
    heritage of the United States are prepared, produced, or otherwise
    created in a manner which assures, to the maximum possible extent,
    their appropriateness, after they have served their primary program
    purpose, for such supplemental exhibition, and
      (b) to transfer to the Archivist, without reimbursement, such
    exhibits or displays as he determines are appropriate for such
    supplemental exhibition after they have served their primary

    department or agency of all or any of the materials incorporated in
    the exhibits or displays as may be mutually agreeable.
      Sec. 2. The Archivist of the United States is directed to -

      (b) accept any such exhibit or display when it has served its
    primary program purpose and (1) arrange for its supplemental
    exhibition as appropriate, (2) preserve any such exhibit or display
    which possesses sufficient historical or other value to warrant
    continued preservation, or (3) dispose of any such exhibit or

    Act'.

     "TITLE I - PRESERVATION OF PRESIDENTIAL RECORDINGS AND MATERIALS 

         "DELIVERY AND RETENTION OF CERTAIN PRESIDENTIAL MATERIALS     
      "Sec. 101. (a) Notwithstanding any other law or any agreement or
    understanding made pursuant to section 2111 of title 44, United
    States Code any Federal employee in possession shall deliver, and
    the Archivist of the United States (hereinafter referred to as the
    'Archivist') shall receive, obtain, or retain, complete possession
    and control of all original tape recordings of conversations which
    were recorded or caused to be recorded by any officer or employee
    of the Federal Government and which - 
        "(1) involve former President Richard M. Nixon or other
      individuals who, at the time of the conversation, were employed
      by the Federal Government;
        "(2) were recorded in the White House or in the office of the
      President in the Executive Office Buildings located in
      Washington, District of Columbia; Camp David, Maryland; Key
      Biscayne, Florida; or San Clemente, California; and
        "(3) were recorded during the period beginning January 20,
      1969, and ending August 9, 1974.
      "(b)(1) Notwithstanding any other law or any agreement or
    understanding made pursuant to section 2111 of title 44, United
    States Code, the Archivist shall receive, retain, or make
    reasonable efforts to obtain, complete possession and control of
    all papers, documents, memorandums, transcripts, and other objects
    and materials which constitute the Presidential historical
    materials of Richard M. Nixon, covering the period beginning
    January 20, 1969, and ending August 9, 1974.
      "(2) For purposes of this subsection, the term 'historical
    materials' has the meaning given it by section 2101 of title 44,
    United States Code.

              "AVAILABILITY OF CERTAIN PRESIDENTIAL MATERIALS          
      "Sec. 102. (a) None of the tape recordings or other materials
    referred to in section 101 shall be destroyed, except as hereafter
    may be provided by law.
      "(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, any other
    law, or any agreement or understanding made pursuant to section
    2111 of title 44, United States Code, the tape recordings and other
    materials referred to in section 101 shall, immediately upon the
    date of enactment of this title, be made available, subject to any
    rights, defenses, or privileges which the Federal Government or any
    person may invoke, for use in any judicial proceeding or otherwise
    subject to court subpena or other legal process. Any request by the
    Office of Watergate Special Prosecution Force, whether by court
    subpena or other lawful process, for access to such recordings or
    materials shall at all times have priority over any other request
    for such recordings or materials.
      "(c) Richard M. Nixon, or any person whom he may designate in
    writing, shall at all times have access to the tape recordings and
    other materials referred to in section 101 for any purpose which is
    consistent with the provisions of this title, subsequent and
    subject to the regulations which the Archivist shall issue pursuant
    to section 103.
      "(d) Any agency or department in the executive branch of the
    Federal Government shall at all times have access to the tape
    recordings and other materials referred to in section 101 for
    lawful Government use, subject to the regulations which the
    Archivist shall issue pursuant to section 103.

    "REGULATIONS TO PROTECT CERTAIN TAPE RECORDINGS AND OTHER MATERIALS
      "Sec. 103. The Archivist shall issue at the earliest possible
    date such regulations as may be necessary to assure the protection
    of the tape recordings and other materials referred to in section
    101 from loss or destruction, and to prevent access to such
    recordings and materials by unauthorized persons. The Archivist may
    transfer such recordings and materials to a Presidential archival
    depository in accordance with section 2112 of title 44, United
    States Code.

                  "REGULATIONS RELATING TO PUBLIC ACCESS              
      "Sec. 104. (a) The Archivist shall, within ninety days after the
    date of enactment of this title [Dec. 19, 1974], submit to each
    House of the Congress a report proposing and explaining regulations
    that would provide public access to the tape recordings and other
    materials referred to in section 101. Such regulations shall take
    into account the following factors:
        "(1) the need to provide the public with the full truth, at the
      earliest reasonable date, of the abuses of governmental power
      popularly identified under the generic term 'Watergate';
        "(2) the need to make such recordings and materials available
      for use in judicial proceedings;
        "(3) the need to prevent general access, except in accordance
      with appropriate procedures established for use in judicial
      proceedings to information relating to the Nation's security;
        "(4) the need to protect every individual's right to a fair and
      impartial trial;
        "(5) the need to protect any party's opportunity to assert any
      legally or constitutionally based right or privilege which would
      prevent or otherwise limit access to such recordings and
      materials;
        "(6) the need to provide public access to those materials which
      have general historical significance, and which are not likely to
      be related to the need described in paragraph (1); and
        "(7) the need to give to Richard M. Nixon, or his heirs, for
      his sole custody and use, tape recordings and other materials
      which are not likely to be related to the need described in
      paragraph (1) and are not otherwise of general historical
      significance.
      "(b) The regulations proposed by the Archivist in the report
    required by subsection (a) shall not take effect until the
    expiration of the first period of 60 calendar days of continuous
    session of the Congress after the date of the submission of such
    regulations to each House of the Congress. For the purposes of this
    subsection, continuity of session is broken only by an adjournment
    of Congress sine die, but the days on which either House is not in
    session because of an adjournment of more than three days to a day
    certain are excluded.
      "(c) The provisions of this title shall not apply, on and after
    the date upon which regulations proposed by the Administrator take
    effect under subsection (b), to any tape recordings or other
    materials given to Richard M. Nixon, or his heirs, pursuant to
    subsection (a)(7).
      "(d) The provisions of this title shall not in any way affect the
    rights, limitations or exemptions applicable under the Freedom of
    Information Act, 5 U.S.C. Sec. 552 et seq.

                             "JUDICIAL REVIEW

    of Columbia shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear challenges to
    the legal or constitutional validity of this title or of any
    regulation issued under the authority granted by this title, and
    any action or proceeding involving the question of title,
    ownership, custody, possession, or control of any tape recording or
    material referred to in section 101 or involving payment of any
    just compensation which may be due in connection therewith. Any
    such challenge shall be treated by the court as a matter requiring
    immediate consideration and resolution, and such challenge shall
    have priority on the docket of such court over other cases.
      "(b) If, under the procedures established by subsection (a), a
    judicial decision is rendered that a particular provision of this
    title, or a particular regulation issued under the authority
    granted by this title, is unconstitutional or otherwise invalid,
    such decision shall not affect in any way the validity or
    enforcement of any other provision of this title or any regulation
    issued under the authority granted by this title.
      "(c) If a final decision of such court holds that any provision
    of this title has deprived an individual of private property
    without just compensation, then there shall be paid out of the
    general fund of the Treasury of the United States such amount or
    amounts as may be adjudged just by that Court.

      proposed physical or material change or addition and the amount

      therein will, after such change or addition, comply with the

        (B) enter into any agreement under subparagraph (B) of such
      paragraph or any other agreement to accept or establish a
      Presidential archival depository; or
        (C) accept any gift under subparagraph (C) of such paragraph
      for the purpose of making any physical or material change to a
      Presidential archival depository,

    until the expiration of a period of 60 days of continuous session
    of Congress beginning on the date on which the Archivist transmits
    the report required under paragraph (3) of this subsection with
    respect to such Presidential archival depository or the report
    required under paragraph (4) of this subsection with respect to
    such change or addition, as the case may be.
      (b) When the Archivist considers it to be in the public interest,
    he may deposit in a Presidential archival depository papers,
    documents, or other historical materials accepted under section
    2111 of this title, or Federal records appropriate for
    preservation.
      (c) When the Archivist considers it to be in the public interest,
    he may exercise, with respect to papers, documents, or other
    historical materials deposited under this section, or otherwise, in
    a Presidential archival depository, all the functions and
    responsibilities otherwise vested in him pertaining to Federal
    records or other documentary materials in his custody or under his
    control. The Archivist, in negotiating for the deposit of
    Presidential historical materials, shall take steps to secure to
    the Government, as far as possible, the right to have continuous
    and permanent possession of the materials. Papers, documents, or
    other historical materials accepted and deposited under section
    2111 of this title and this section are subject to restrictions as
    to their availability and use stated in writing by the donors or
    depositors, including the restriction that they shall be kept in a
    Presidential archival depository. The restrictions shall be
    respected for the period stated, or until revoked or terminated by
    the donors or depositors or by persons legally qualified to act on
    their behalf. Subject to the restrictions, the Archivist may
    dispose by sale, exchange, or otherwise, of papers, documents, or
    other materials which the Archivist determines to have no permanent
    value or historical interest or to be surplus to the needs of a
    Presidential archival depository. Only the first two sentences of
    this subsection shall apply to Presidential records as defined in
    section 2201(2) of this title.
      (d) When the Archivist considers it to be in the public interest,
    he may cooperate with and assist a university, institution of
    higher learning, institute, foundation, or other organization or
    qualified individual to further or to conduct study or research in
    historical materials deposited in a Presidential archival
    depository.
      (e) When the Archivist considers it to be in the public interest,
    he may charge and collect reasonable fees for the privilege of
    visiting and viewing exhibit rooms or museum space, or for the
    occasional, non-official use of rooms and spaces (and services
    related to such use), in a Presidential archival depository.
      (f) When the Archivist considers it to be in the public interest,
    he may provide reasonable office space in a Presidential archival
    depository for the personal use of a former President of the United
    States.
      (g)(1) When the Archivist considers it to be in the public
    interest, the Archivist may solicit and accept gifts or bequests of
    money or other property for the purpose of maintaining, operating,
    protecting, or improving a Presidential archival depository. The
    proceeds of gifts or bequests, together with the proceeds from fees
    or from sales of historical materials, copies or reproductions,
    catalogs, or other items, having to do with a Presidential archival
    depository, shall be paid into an account in the National Archives
    Trust Fund and shall be held, administered, and expended for the
    benefit and in the interest of the Presidential archival depository
    in connection with which they were received, and for the same
    purposes and objects, including custodial and administrative
    services for which appropriations for the maintenance, operation,
    protection, or improvement of Presidential archival depositories
    might be expended.
      (2) The Archivist shall provide for the establishment in such
    Trust Fund of separate endowments for the maintenance of the land,
    facility, and equipment of each Presidential archival depository,
    to which shall be credited any gifts or bequests received under
    paragraph (1) that are offered for that purpose. Income to each
    such endowment shall be available to cover the cost of facility
    operations, but shall not be available for the performance of
    archival functions under this title.
      (3) The Archivist shall not accept or take title to any land,
    facility, or equipment under subparagraph (A) of subsection (a)(1),
    or enter into any agreement to use any land, facility, or equipment
    under subparagraph (B) of such subsection for the purpose of
    creating a Presidential archival depository, unless the Archivist
    determines that there is available, by gift or bequest for deposit
    under paragraph (2) of this subsection in an endowment with respect
    to such depository, an amount for the purpose of maintaining such
    land, facility, and equipment equal to - 
        (A) the product of - 
          (i) the total cost of acquiring or constructing such facility
        and of acquiring and installing such equipment, multiplied by
          (ii) 20 percent; plus

        (B)(i) if title to the land is to be vested in the United
      States, the product of - 
          (I) the total cost of acquiring the land upon which such
        facility is located, or such other measure of the value of such
        land as is mutually agreed upon by the Archivist and the donor,
        multiplied by
          (II) 20 percent; or

        (ii) if title to the land is not to be vested in the United
      States, the product of - 
          (I) the total cost to the donor of any improvements to the
        land upon which such facility is located (other than such
        facility and equipment), multiplied by
          (II) 20 percent; plus

        (C) if the Presidential archival depository will exceed 70,000
      square feet in area, an amount equal to the product of - 
          (i) the sum of - 
            (I) the total cost described in clause (i) of subparagraph
          (A); plus
            (II) the total cost described in subclause (I) or (II) of
          subparagraph (B)(i), as the case may be, multiplied by

          (ii) the percentage obtained by dividing the number of square
        feet by which such depository will exceed 70,000 square feet by
        70,000.

      (4) If a proposed physical or material change or addition to a
    Presidential archival depository would result in an increase in the
    costs of facility operations, the Archivist may not accept any gift
    under subparagraph (C) of paragraph (1) for the purpose of making
    such a change or addition, or may not implement any provision of
    law requiring the making of such a change or addition, unless the
    Archivist determines that there is available, by gift or bequest
    for deposit under paragraph (2) of this subsection in an endowment
    with respect to such depository, an amount for the purpose of
    maintaining the land, facility, and equipment of such depository
    equal to the difference between - 
        (A) the amount which, pursuant to paragraph (3) of this
      subsection, would have been required to have been available for
      deposit in such endowment with respect to such depository if such
      change or addition had been included in such depository on - 
          (i) the date on which the Archivist took title to the land,
        facility, and equipment for such depository under subparagraph
        (A) of subsection (a)(1); or
          (ii) the date on which the Archivist entered into an
        agreement for the creation of such depository under
        subparagraph (B) of such paragraph,

      as the case may be; minus
        (B) the amount which, pursuant to paragraph (3) of this
      subsection, was required to be available for deposit in such
      endowment with respect to such depository on the date the
      Archivist took such title or entered into such agreement, as the
      case may be.

      (5)(A) Notwithstanding paragraphs (3) and (4) (to the extent that
    such paragraphs are inconsistent with this paragraph), this
    subsection shall be administered in accordance with this paragraph
    with respect to any Presidential archival depository created as a
    depository for the papers, documents, and other historical
    materials and Presidential records pertaining to any President who
    takes the oath of office as President for the first time on or
    after July 1, 2002.
      (B) For purposes of subparagraphs (A)(ii), (B)(i)(II), and
    (B)(ii)(II) of paragraph (3) the percentage of 40 percent shall
    apply instead of 20 percent.
      (C)(i) In this subparagraph, the term "base endowment amount"
    means the amount of the endowment required under paragraph (3).
      (ii)(I) The Archivist may give credits against the base endowment
    amount if the Archivist determines that the proposed Presidential
    archival depository will have construction features or equipment
    that are expected to result in quantifiable long-term savings to
    the Government with respect to the cost of facility operations.
      (II) The features and equipment described under subclause (I)
    shall comply with the standards promulgated by the Archivist under
    subsection (a)(2).
      (III) The Archivist shall promulgate standards to be used in
    calculating the dollar amount of any credit to be given, and shall
    consult with all donors of the endowment before giving any credits.
    The total dollar amount of credits given under this paragraph may
    not exceed 20 percent of the base endowment amount.
      (D)(i) In calculating the additional endowment amount required
    under paragraph (4), the Archivist shall take into account credits
    given under subparagraph (C), and may also give credits against the
    additional endowment amount required under paragraph (4), if the
    Archivist determines that construction features or equipment used
    in making or equipping the physical or material change or addition
    are expected to result in quantifiable long-term savings to the
    Government with respect to the cost of facility operations.
      (ii) The features and equipment described under clause (i) shall
    comply with the standards promulgated by the Archivist under
    subsection (a)(2).
      (iii) The Archivist shall promulgate standards to be used in
    calculating the dollar amount of any credit to be given, and shall
    consult with all donors of the endowment before giving any credits.
    The total dollar amount of credits given under this paragraph may
    not exceed 20 percent of the additional endowment amount required
    under paragraph (4).

-STATUTE-
      (a) When records that are required by statute to be retained
    indefinitely have been reproduced by photographic,
    microphotographic, or other processes, in accordance with standards
    established by the Archivist the indefinite retention by the
    photographic, microphotographic, or other reproductions constitutes
    compliance with the statutory requirement for the indefinite
    retention of the original records. The reproductions, as well as
    reproductions made under regulations to carry out chapter 21, 29,
    31, and 33 of this title, shall have the same legal status as the
    originals.
      (b) There shall be an official seal for the National Archives of
    the United States which shall be judicially noticed. When a copy or
    reproduction, furnished under this section, is authenticated by the
    official seal and certified by the Archivist, the copy or
    reproduction shall be admitted in evidence equally with the
    original from which it was made.
      (c) The Archivist may charge a fee set to recover the costs for
    making or authenticating copies or reproductions of materials
    transferred to his custody. Such fee shall be fixed by the
    Archivist at a level which will recover, so far as practicable, all
    elements of such costs, and may, in the Archivist's discretion,
    include increments for the estimated replacement cost of equipment.
    Such fees shall be paid into, administered, and expended as a part
    of the National Archives Trust Fund. The Archivist may not charge
    for making or authenticating copies or reproductions of materials
    for official use by the United States Government unless
    appropriations available to the Archivist for this purpose are
    insufficient to cover the cost of performing the work.

-HEAD-
    Sec. 2203. Management and custody of Presidential records

-STATUTE-
      (a) Through the implementation of records management controls and
    other necessary actions, the President shall take all such steps as
    may be necessary to assure that the activities, deliberations,
    decisions, and policies that reflect the performance of his
    constitutional, statutory, or other official or ceremonial duties
    are adequately documented and that such records are maintained as
    Presidential records pursuant to the requirements of this section
    and other provisions of law.
      (b) Documentary materials produced or received by the President,
    his staff, or units or individuals in the Executive Office of the
    President the function of which is to advise and assist the
    President, shall, to the extent practicable, be categorized as
    Presidential records or personal records upon their creation or
    receipt and be filed separately.
      (c) During his term of office, the President may dispose of those
    of his Presidential records that no longer have administrative,
    historical, informational, or evidentiary value if - 
        (1) the President obtains the views, in writing, of the
      Archivist concerning the proposed disposal of such Presidential
      records; and
        (2) the Archivist states that he does not intend to take any
      action under subsection (e) of this section.

      (d) In the event the Archivist notifies the President under
    subsection (c) that he does intend to take action under subsection
    (e), the President may dispose of such Presidential records if
    copies of the disposal schedule are submitted to the appropriate
    Congressional Committees at least 60 calendar days of continuous
    session of Congress in advance of the proposed disposal date. For
    the purpose of this section, continuity of session is broken only
    by an adjournment of Congress sine die, and the days on which
    either House is not in session because of an adjournment of more
    than three days to a day certain are excluded in the computation of
    the days in which Congress is in continuous session.
      (e) The Archivist shall request the advice of the Committee on
    Rules and Administration and the Committee on Governmental Affairs
    of the Senate and the Committee on House Oversight and the
    Committee on Government Operations of the House of Representatives
    with respect to any proposed disposal of Presidential records
    whenever he considers that - 
        (1) these particular records may be of special interest to the
      Congress; or
        (2) consultation with the Congress regarding the disposal of
      these particular records is in the public interest.

      (f)(1) Upon the conclusion of a President's term of office, or if
    a President serves consecutive terms upon the conclusion of the
    last term, the Archivist of the United States shall assume
    responsibility for the custody, control, and preservation of, and
    access to, the Presidential records of that President. The
    Archivist shall have an affirmative duty to make such records
    available to the public as rapidly and completely as possible
    consistent with the provisions of this Act.
      (2) The Archivist shall deposit all such Presidential records in
    a Presidential archival depository or another archival facility
    operated by the United States. The Archivist is authorized to
    designate, after consultation with the former President, a director
    at each depository or facility, who shall be responsible for the
    care and preservation of such records.
      (3) The Archivist is authorized to dispose of such Presidential
    records which he has appraised and determined to have insufficient
    administrative, historical, informational, or evidentiary value to
    warrant their continued preservation. Notice of such disposal shall
    be published in the Federal Register at least 60 days in advance of
    the proposed disposal date. Publication of such notice shall
    constitute a final agency action for purposes of review under
    chapter 7 of title 5, United States Code.

    TITLE 44 - PUBLIC PRINTING AND DOCUMENTS
    CHAPTER 22 - PRESIDENTIAL RECORDS

-HEAD-
    Sec. 2204. Restrictions on access to Presidential records

-STATUTE-
      (a) Prior to the conclusion of his term of office or last
    consecutive term of office, as the case may be, the President shall
    specify durations, not to exceed 12 years, for which access shall
    be restricted with respect to information, in a Presidential
    record, within one or more of the following categories:
        (1)(A) specifically authorized under criteria established by an
      Executive order to be kept secret in the interest of national
      defense or foreign policy and (B) in fact properly classified
      pursuant to such Executive order;
        (2) relating to appointments to Federal office;
        (3) specifically exempted from disclosure by statute (other
      than sections 552 and 552b of title 5, United States Code),
      provided that such statute (A) requires that the material be
      withheld from the public in such a manner as to leave no
      discretion on the issue, or (B) establishes particular criteria
      for withholding or refers to particular types of material to be
      withheld;
        (4) trade secrets and commercial or financial information
      obtained from a person and privileged or confidential;
        (5) confidential communications requesting or submitting
      advice, between the President and his advisers, or between such
      advisers; or
        (6) personnel and medical files and similar files the
      disclosure of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted
      invasion of personal privacy.

      (b)(1) Any Presidential record or reasonably segregable portion
    thereof containing information within a category restricted by the
    President under subsection (a) shall be so designated by the
    Archivist and access thereto shall be restricted until the earlier
    of - 
        (A)(i) the date on which the former President waives the
      restriction on disclosure of such record, or
        (ii) the expiration of the duration specified under subsection
      (a) for the category of information on the basis of which access
      to such record has been restricted; or
        (B) upon a determination by the Archivist that such record or
      reasonably segregable portion thereof, or of any significant
      element or aspect of the information contained in such record or
      reasonably segregable portion thereof, has been placed in the
      public domain through publication by the former President, or his
      agents.

      (2) Any such record which does not contain information within a
    category restricted by the President under subsection (a), or
    contains information within such a category for which the duration
    of restricted access has expired, shall be exempt from the
    provisions of subsection (c) until the earlier of - 
        (A) the date which is 5 years after the date on which the
      Archivist obtains custody of such record pursuant to section
      2203(d)(1); or
        (B) the date on which the Archivist completes the processing
      and organization of such records or integral file segment
      thereof.

      (3) During the period of restricted access specified pursuant to
    subsection (b)(1), the determination whether access to a
    Presidential record or reasonably segregable portion thereof shall
    be restricted shall be made by the Archivist, in his discretion,
    after consultation with the former President, and, during such
    period, such determinations shall not be subject to judicial
    review, except as provided in subsection (e) of this section. The
    Archivist shall establish procedures whereby any person denied
    access to a Presidential record because such record is restricted
    pursuant to a determination made under this paragraph, may file an
    administrative appeal of such determination. Such procedures shall
    provide for a written determination by the Archivist or his
    designee, within 30 working days after receipt of such an appeal,
    setting forth the basis for such determination.
      (c)(1) Subject to the limitations on access imposed pursuant to
    subsections (a) and (b), Presidential records shall be administered
    in accordance with section 552 of title 5, United States Code,
    except that paragraph (b)(5) of that section shall not be available
    for purposes of withholding any Presidential record, and for the
    purposes of such section such records shall be deemed to be records
    of the National Archives and Records Administration. Access to such
    records shall be granted on nondiscriminatory terms.
      (2) Nothing in this Act shall be construed to confirm, limit, or
    expand any constitutionally-based privilege which may be available
    to an incumbent or former President.
      (d) Upon the death or disability of a President or former
    President, any discretion or authority the President or former
    President may have had under this chapter shall be exercised by the
    Archivist unless otherwise previously provided by the President or
    former President in a written notice to the Archivist.
      (e) The United States District Court for the District of Columbia
    shall have jurisdiction over any action initiated by the former
    President asserting that a determination made by the Archivist
    violates the former President's rights or privileges.

      EX. ORD. NO. 13233. FURTHER IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRESIDENTIAL
                                RECORDS ACT
      Ex. Ord. No. 13233, Nov. 1, 2001, 66 F.R. 56025, provided:
      By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution
    and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to
    establish policies and procedures implementing section 2204 of
    title 44 of the United States Code with respect to constitutionally
    based privileges, including those that apply to Presidential
    records reflecting military, diplomatic, or national security
    secrets, Presidential communications, legal advice, legal work, or
    the deliberative processes of the President and the President's
    advisors, and to do so in a manner consistent with the Supreme
    Court's decisions in Nixon v. Administrator of General Services,
    433 U.S. 425 (1977), and other cases, it is hereby ordered as
    follows:
      Section 1. Definitions.
      For purposes of this order:
      (a) "Archivist" refers to the Archivist of the United States or
    his designee.
      (b) "Presidential records" refers to those documentary materials
    maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration
    pursuant to the Presidential Records Act [of 1978], 44 U.S.C. 2201-
    2207.
      (c) "Former President" refers to the former President during
    whose term or terms of office particular Presidential records were
    created.
      Sec. 2. Constitutional and Legal Background.
      (a) For a period not to exceed 12 years after the conclusion of a
    Presidency, the Archivist administers records in accordance with
    the limitations on access imposed by section 2204 of title 44.
    After expiration of that period, section 2204(c) of title 44
    directs that the Archivist administer Presidential records in
    accordance with section 552 of title 5, the Freedom of Information
    Act, including by withholding, as appropriate, records subject to
    exemptions (b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(3), (b)(4), (b)(6), (b)(7), (b)(8),
    and (b)(9) of section 552. Section 2204(c)(1) of title 44 provides
    that exemption (b)(5) of section 552 is not available to the
    Archivist as a basis for withholding records, but section
    2204(c)(2) recognizes that the former President or the incumbent
    President may assert any constitutionally based privileges,
    including those ordinarily encompassed within exemption (b)(5) of
    section 552. The President's constitutionally based privileges
    subsume privileges for records that reflect: military, diplomatic,
    or national security secrets (the state secrets privilege);
    communications of the President or his advisors (the presidential
    communications privilege); legal advice or legal work (the attorney-
    client or attorney work product privileges); and the deliberative
    processes of the President or his advisors (the deliberative
    process privilege).
      (b) In Nixon v. Administrator of General Services, the Supreme
    Court set forth the constitutional basis for the President's
    privileges for confidential communications: "Unless [the President]
    can give his advisers some assurance of confidentiality, a
    President could not expect to receive the full and frank
    submissions of facts and opinions upon which effective discharge of
    his duties depends." 433 U.S. at 448-49. The Court cited the
    precedent of the Constitutional Convention, the records of which
    were "sealed for more than 30 years after the Convention." Id. at
    447 n.11. Based on those precedents and principles, the Court ruled
    that constitutionally based privileges available to a President
    "survive the individual President's tenure." Id. at 449. The Court
    also held that a former President, although no longer a Government
    official, may assert constitutionally based privileges with respect
    to his Administration's Presidential records, and expressly
    rejected the argument that "only an incumbent President can assert
    the privilege of the Presidency." Id. at 448.
      (c) The Supreme Court has held that a party seeking to overcome
    the constitutionally based privileges that apply to Presidential
    records must establish at least a "demonstrated, specific need" for
    particular records, a standard that turns on the nature of the
    proceeding and the importance of the information to that
    proceeding. See United States v. Nixon, 418 U.S. 683, 713 (1974).
    Notwithstanding the constitutionally based privileges that apply to
    Presidential records, many former Presidents have authorized
    access, after what they considered an appropriate period of repose,
    to those records or categories of records (including otherwise
    privileged records) to which the former Presidents or their
    representatives in their discretion decided to authorize access.
    See Nixon v. Administrator of General Services, 433 U.S. at 450-51.
      Sec. 3. Procedure for Administering Privileged Presidential
    Records.
      Consistent with the requirements of the Constitution and the
    Presidential Records Act, the Archivist shall administer
    Presidential records under section 2204(c) of title 44 in the
    following manner:
      (a) At an appropriate time after the Archivist receives a request
    for access to Presidential records under section 2204(c)(1), the
    Archivist shall provide notice to the former President and the
    incumbent President and, as soon as practicable, shall provide the
    former President and the incumbent President copies of any records
    that the former President and the incumbent President request to
    review.
      (b) After receiving the records he requests, the former President
    shall review those records as expeditiously as possible, and for no
    longer than 90 days for requests that are not unduly burdensome.
    The Archivist shall not permit access to the records by a requester
    during this period of review or when requested by the former
    President to extend the time for review.
      (c) After review of the records in question, or of any other
    potentially privileged records reviewed by the former President,
    the former President shall indicate to the Archivist whether the
    former President requests withholding of or authorizes access to
    any privileged records.
      (d) Concurrent with or after the former President's review of the
    records, the incumbent President or his designee may also review
    the records in question, or may utilize whatever other procedures
    the incumbent President deems appropriate to decide whether to
    concur in the former President's decision to request withholding of
    or authorize access to the records.
      (1) When the former President has requested withholding of the
    records:
        (i) If under the standard set forth in section 4 below, the
      incumbent President concurs in the former President's decision to
      request withholding of records as privileged, the incumbent
      President shall so inform the former President and the Archivist.
      The Archivist shall not permit access to those records by a
      requester unless and until the incumbent President advises the
      Archivist that the former President and the incumbent President
      agree to authorize access to the records or until so ordered by a
      final and nonappealable court order.
        (ii) If under the standard set forth in section 4 below, the
      incumbent President does not concur in the former President's
      decision to request withholding of the records as privileged, the
      incumbent President shall so inform the former President and the
      Archivist. Because the former President independently retains the
      right to assert constitutionally based privileges, the Archivist
      shall not permit access to the records by a requester unless and
      until the incumbent President advises the Archivist that the
      former President and the incumbent President agree to authorize
      access to the records or until so ordered by a final and
      nonappealable court order.
      (2) When the former President has authorized access to the
    records:
        (i) If under the standard set forth in section 4 below, the
      incumbent President concurs in the former President's decision to
      authorize access to the records, the Archivist shall permit
      access to the records by the requester.
        (ii) If under the standard set forth in section 4 below, the
      incumbent President does not concur in the former President's
      decision to authorize access to the records, the incumbent
      President may independently order the Archivist to withhold
      privileged records. In that instance, the Archivist shall not
      permit access to the records by a requester unless and until the
      incumbent President advises the Archivist that the former
      President and the incumbent President agree to authorize access
      to the records or until so ordered by a final and nonappealable
      court order.
      Sec. 4. Concurrence by Incumbent President.
      Absent compelling circumstances, the incumbent President will
    concur in the privilege decision of the former President in
    response to a request for access under section 2204(c)(1). When the
    incumbent President concurs in the decision of the former President
    to request withholding of records within the scope of a
    constitutionally based privilege, the incumbent President will
    support that privilege claim in any forum in which the privilege
    claim is challenged.
      Sec. 5. Incumbent President's Right to Obtain Access.
      This order does not expand or limit the incumbent President's
    right to obtain access to the records of a former President
    pursuant to section 2205(2)(B) [of title 44].
      Sec. 6. Right of Congress and Courts to Obtain Access.
      This order does not expand or limit the rights of a court, House
    of Congress, or authorized committee or subcommittee of Congress to
    obtain access to the records of a former President pursuant to
    section 2205(2)(A) or section 2205(2)(C). With respect to such
    requests, the former President shall review the records in question
    and, within 21 days of receiving notice from the Archivist,
    indicate to the Archivist his decision with respect to any
    privilege. The incumbent President shall indicate his decision with
    respect to any privilege within 21 days after the former President
    has indicated his decision. Those periods may be extended by the
    former President or the incumbent President for requests that are
    burdensome. The Archivist shall not permit access to the records
    unless and until the incumbent President advises the Archivist that
    the former President and the incumbent President agree to authorize
    access to the records or until so ordered by a final and
    nonappealable court order.
      Sec. 7. No Effect on Right to Withhold Records.
      This order does not limit the former President's or the incumbent
    President's right to withhold records on any ground supplied by the
    Constitution, statute, or regulation.
      Sec. 8. Withholding of Privileged Records During 12-Year Period.
      In the period not to exceed 12 years after the conclusion of a
    Presidency during which section 2204(a) and section 2204(b) of
    title 44 apply, a former President or the incumbent President may
    request withholding of any privileged records not already protected
    from disclosure under section 2204. If the former President or the
    incumbent President so requests, the Archivist shall not permit
    access to any such privileged records unless and until the
    incumbent President advises the Archivist that the former President
    and the incumbent President agree to authorize access to the
    records or until so ordered by a final and nonappealable court
    order.
      Sec. 9. Establishment of Procedures.
      This order is not intended to indicate whether and under what
    circumstances a former President should assert or waive any
    privilege. The order is intended to establish procedures for former
    and incumbent Presidents to make privilege determinations.
      Sec. 10. Designation of Representative.
      The former President may designate a representative (or series or
    group of alternative representatives, as the former President in
    his discretion may determine) to act on his behalf for purposes of
    the Presidential Records Act and this order. Upon the death or
    disability of a former President, the former President's designated
    representative shall act on his behalf for purposes of the Act and
    this order, including with respect to the assertion of
    constitutionally based privileges. In the absence of any designated
    representative after the former President's death or disability,
    the family of the former President may designate a representative
    (or series or group of alternative representatives, as they in
    their discretion may determine) to act on the former President's
    behalf for purposes of the Act and this order, including with
    respect to the assertion of constitutionally based privileges.
      Sec. 11. Vice Presidential Records.
      (a) Pursuant to section 2207 of title 44 of the United States
    Code, the Presidential Records Act applies to the executive records
    of the Vice President. Subject to subsections (b) and (c), this
    order shall also apply with respect to any such records that are
    subject to any constitutionally based privilege that the former
    Vice President may be entitled to invoke, but in the administration
    of this order with respect to such records, references in this
    order to a former President shall be deemed also to be references
    to the relevant former Vice President.
      (b) Subsection (a) shall not be deemed to authorize a Vice
    President or former Vice President to invoke any constitutional
    privilege of a President or former President except as authorized
    by that President or former President.
      (c) Nothing in this section shall be construed to grant, limit,
    or otherwise affect any privilege of a President, Vice President,
    former President, or former Vice President.
      Sec. 12. Judicial Review.
      This order is intended to improve the internal management of the
    executive branch and is not intended to create any right or
    benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by a party,
    other than a former President or his designated representative,
    against the United States, its agencies, its officers, or any
    person.
      Sec. 13. Revocation.
      Executive Order 12667 of January 18, 1989, is revoked.
                                                         George W. Bush.

    CHAPTER 33 - DISPOSAL OF RECORDS

-HEAD-
    Sec. 3303a. Examination by Archivist of lists and schedules of
      records lacking preservation value; disposal of records

-STATUTE-
      (a) The Archivist shall examine the lists and schedules submitted
    to him under section 3303 of this title. If the Archivist
    determines that any of the records listed in a list or schedule
    submitted to him do not, or will not after the lapse of the period
    specified, have sufficient administrative, legal, research, or
    other value to warrant their continued preservation by the
    Government, he may, after publication of notice in the Federal
    Register and an opportunity for interested persons to submit
    comment thereon - 
        (1) notify the agency to that effect; and
        (2) empower the agency to dispose of those records in
      accordance with regulations promulgated under section 3302 of
      this title.

      (b) Authorizations granted under lists and schedules submitted to
    the Archivist under section 3303 of this title, and schedules
    promulgated by the Archivist under subsection (d) of this section,
    shall be mandatory, subject to section 2909 of this title. As
    between an authorization granted under lists and schedules
    submitted to the Archivist under section 3303 of this title and an
    authorization contained in a schedule promulgated under subsection
    (d) of this section, application of the authorization providing for
    the shorter retention period shall be required, subject to section
    2909 of this title.
      (c) The Archivist may request advice and counsel from the
    Committee on Rules and Administration of the Senate and the
    Committee on House Oversight of the House of Representatives with
    respect to the disposal of any particular records under this
    chapter whenever he considers that - 
        (1) those particular records may be of special interest to the
      Congress; or
        (2) consultation with the Congress regarding the disposal of
      those particular records is in the public interest.

    However, this subsection does not require the Archivist to request
    such advice and counsel as a regular procedure in the general
    disposal of records under this chapter.
      (d) The Archivist shall promulgate schedules authorizing the
    disposal, after the lapse of specified periods of time, of records
    of a specified form or character common to several or all agencies
    if such records will not, at the end of the periods specified, have
    sufficient administrative, legal, research, or other value to
    warrant their further preservation by the United States Government.
      (e) The Archivist may approve and effect the disposal of records
    that are in his legal custody, provided that records that had been
    in the custody of another existing agency may not be disposed of
    without the written consent of the head of the agency.
      (f) The Archivist shall make an annual report to the Congress
    concerning the disposal of records under this chapter, including
    general descriptions of the types of records disposed of and such
    other information as he considers appropriate to keep the Congress
    fully informed regarding the disposal of records under this
    chapter.

    the head of an agency of the United States Government may authorize
    the destruction of records in his legal custody situated in a

             "SUBTITLE A - CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION PROTECTION         

      "SEC. 511. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
      "(a) Findings. - The Congress finds the following:
        "(1) Individuals, businesses, and other organizations have
      varying degrees of legal protection when providing information to
      the agencies for strictly statistical purposes.
        "(2) Pledges of confidentiality by agencies provide assurances
      to the public that information about individuals or organizations
      or provided by individuals or organizations for exclusively
      statistical purposes will be held in confidence and will not be
      used against such individuals or organizations in any agency
      action.
        "(3) Protecting the confidentiality interests of individuals or
      organizations who provide information under a pledge of
      confidentiality for Federal statistical programs serves both the
      interests of the public and the needs of society.
        "(4) Declining trust of the public in the protection of
      information provided under a pledge of confidentiality to the
      agencies adversely affects both the accuracy and completeness of
      statistical analyses.
        "(5) Ensuring that information provided under a pledge of
      confidentiality for statistical purposes receives protection is
      essential in continuing public cooperation in statistical
      programs.
      "(b) Purposes. - The purposes of this subtitle are the following:
        "(1) To ensure that information supplied by individuals or
      organizations to an agency for statistical purposes under a
      pledge of confidentiality is used exclusively for statistical
      purposes.
        "(2) To ensure that individuals or organizations who supply
      information under a pledge of confidentiality to agencies for
      statistical purposes will neither have that information disclosed
      in identifiable form to anyone not authorized by this title nor
      have that information used for any purpose other than a
      statistical purpose.
        "(3) To safeguard the confidentiality of individually
      identifiable information acquired under a pledge of
      confidentiality for statistical purposes by controlling access
      to, and uses made of, such information.

      "SEC. 512. LIMITATIONS ON USE AND DISCLOSURE OF DATA AND
        INFORMATION.
      "(a) Use of Statistical Data or Information. - Data or
    information acquired by an agency under a pledge of confidentiality
    and for exclusively statistical purposes shall be used by officers,
    employees, or agents of the agency exclusively for statistical
    purposes.
      "(b) Disclosure of Statistical Data or Information. - 
        "(1) Data or information acquired by an agency under a pledge
      of confidentiality for exclusively statistical purposes shall not
      be disclosed by an agency in identifiable form, for any use other
      than an exclusively statistical purpose, except with the informed
      consent of the respondent.
        "(2) A disclosure pursuant to paragraph (1) is authorized only
      when the head of the agency approves such disclosure and the
      disclosure is not prohibited by any other law.
        "(3) This section does not restrict or diminish any
      confidentiality protections in law that otherwise apply to data
      or information acquired by an agency under a pledge of
      confidentiality for exclusively statistical purposes.
      "(c) Rule for Use of Data or Information for Nonstatistical
    Purposes. - A statistical agency or unit shall clearly distinguish
    any data or information it collects for nonstatistical purposes (as
    authorized by law) and provide notice to the public, before the
    data or information is collected, that the data or information
    could be used for nonstatistical purposes.
      "(d) Designation of Agents. - A statistical agency or unit may
    designate agents, by contract or by entering into a special
    agreement containing the provisions required under section 502(2)
    for treatment as an agent under that section, who may perform
    exclusively statistical activities, subject to the limitations and
    penalties described in this title.

      "SEC. 513. FINES AND PENALTIES.
      "Whoever, being an officer, employee, or agent of an agency
    acquiring information for exclusively statistical purposes, having
    taken and subscribed the oath of office, or having sworn to observe
    the limitations imposed by section 512, comes into possession of
    such information by reason of his or her being an officer,
    employee, or agent and, knowing that the disclosure of the specific
    information is prohibited under the provisions of this title,
    willfully discloses the information in any manner to a person or
    agency not entitled to receive it, shall be guilty of a class E
    felony and imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or fined not more
    than $250,000, or both.

                   "SUBTITLE B - STATISTICAL EFFICIENCY               

      "SEC. 521. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.
      "(a) Findings. - The Congress finds the following:
        "(1) Federal statistics are an important source of information
      for public and private decision-makers such as policymakers,
      consumers, businesses, investors, and workers.
        "(2) Federal statistical agencies should continuously seek to
      improve their efficiency. Statutory constraints limit the ability
      of these agencies to share data and thus to achieve higher
      efficiency for Federal statistical programs.
        "(3) The quality of Federal statistics depends on the
      willingness of businesses to respond to statistical surveys.
      Reducing reporting burdens will increase response rates, and
      therefore lead to more accurate characterizations of the economy.
        "(4) Enhanced sharing of business data among the Bureau of the
      Census, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Bureau of Labor
      Statistics for exclusively statistical purposes will improve
      their ability to track more accurately the large and rapidly
      changing nature of United States business. In particular, the
      statistical agencies will be able to better ensure that
      businesses are consistently classified in appropriate industries,
      resolve data anomalies, produce statistical samples that are
      consistently adjusted for the entry and exit of new businesses in
      a timely manner, and correct faulty reporting errors quickly and
      efficiently.
        "(5) The Congress enacted the International Investment and
      Trade in Services Act of 1990 [probably means the International
      Investment and Trade in Services Survey Act, Pub. L. 94-472, as
      amended by Pub. L. 101-533, which is classified to 22 U.S.C. 3101
      et seq.] that allowed the Bureau of the Census, the Bureau of
      Economic Analysis, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics to share
      data on foreign-owned companies. The Act not only expanded
      detailed industry coverage from 135 industries to over 800
      industries with no increase in the data collected from
      respondents but also demonstrated how data sharing can result in
      the creation of valuable data products.
        "(6) With subtitle A of this title, the sharing of business
      data among the Bureau of the Census, the Bureau of Economic
      Analysis, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics continues to ensure
      the highest level of confidentiality for respondents to
      statistical surveys.
      "(b) Purposes. - The purposes of this subtitle are the following:
        "(1) To authorize the sharing of business data among the Bureau
      of the Census, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Bureau of
      Labor Statistics for exclusively statistical purposes.
        "(2) To reduce the paperwork burdens imposed on businesses that
      provide requested information to the Federal Government.
        "(3) To improve the comparability and accuracy of Federal
      economic statistics by allowing the Bureau of the Census, the
      Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics
      to update sample frames, develop consistent classifications of
      establishments and companies into industries, improve coverage,
      and reconcile significant differences in data produced by the
      three agencies.
        "(4) To increase understanding of the United States economy,
      especially for key industry and regional statistics, to develop
      more accurate measures of the impact of technology on
      productivity growth, and to enhance the reliability of the
      Nation's most important economic indicators, such as the National
      Income and Product Accounts.

      "SEC. 522. DESIGNATION OF STATISTICAL AGENCIES.
      "For purposes of this subtitle, the term 'Designated Statistical
    Agency' means each of the following:

-EXEC-
                 EX. ORD. NO. 13073. YEAR 2000 CONVERSION             
      Ex. Ord. No. 13073, Feb. 4, 1998, 63 F.R. 6467, as amended by Ex.
    Ord. No. 13127, June 14, 1999, 64 F.R. 32793, provided:
      The American people expect reliable service from their Government
    and deserve the confidence that critical government functions
    dependent on electronic systems will be performed accurately and in
    a timely manner. Because of a design feature in many electronic
    systems, a large number of activities in the public and private
    sectors could be at risk beginning in the year 2000. Some computer
    systems and other electronic devices will misinterpret the year
    "00" as 1900, rather than 2000. Unless appropriate action is taken,
    this flaw, known as the "Y2K problem," can cause systems that
    support those functions to compute erroneously or simply not run.
    Minimizing the Y2K problem will require a major technological and
    managerial effort, and it is critical that the United States
    Government do its part in addressing this challenge.
      Accordingly, by the authority vested in me as President by the
    Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is
    hereby ordered as follows:
      Section 1. Policy. (a) It shall be the policy of the executive
    branch that agencies shall:
      (1) assure that no critical Federal program experiences
    disruption because of the Y2K problem;
      (2) assist and cooperate with State, local, and tribal
    governments to address the Y2K problem where those governments
    depend on Federal information or information technology or the
    Federal Government is dependent on those governments to perform
    critical missions;
      (3) cooperate with the private sector operators of critical
    national and local systems, including the banking and financial
    system, the telecommunications system, the public health system,
    the transportation system, and the electric power generation
    system, in addressing the Y2K problem; and
      (4) communicate with their foreign counterparts to raise
    awareness of and generate cooperative international arrangements to
    address the Y2K problem.
      (b) As used in this order, "agency" and "agencies" refer to
    Federal agencies that are not in the judicial or legislative
    branches.
      Sec. 2. Year 2000 Conversion Council. There is hereby established
    the President's Council on Year 2000 Conversion (the "Council").
      (a) The Council shall be led by a Chair who shall be an Assistant
    to the President, and it shall be composed of one representative
    from each of the executive departments and from such other Federal
    agencies as may be determined by the Chair of the Council (the
    "Chair").
      (b) The Chair shall appoint a Vice Chair and assign other
    responsibilities for operations of the council as he or she deems
    necessary.
      (c) The Chair shall oversee the activities of agencies to assure
    that their systems operate smoothly through the year 2000, act as
    chief spokesperson on this issue for the executive branch in
    national and international fora, provide policy coordination of
    executive branch activities with State, local, and tribal
    governments on the Y2K problem, and promote appropriate Federal
    roles with respect to private sector activities in this area.
      (d) The Chair and the Director of the Office of Management and
    Budget shall report jointly at least quarterly to me on the
    progress of agencies in addressing the Y2K problem.
      (e) The Chair shall identify such resources from agencies as the
    Chair deems necessary for the implementation of the policies set
    out in this order, consistent with applicable law.
      Sec. 3. Responsibilities of Agency Heads. (a) The head of each
    agency shall:
      (1) assure that efforts to address the Y2K problem receive the
    highest priority attention in the agency and that the policies
    established in this order are carried out; and
      (2) cooperate to the fullest extent with the Chair by making
    available such information, support, and assistance, including
    personnel, as the Chair may request to support the accomplishment
    of the tasks assigned herein, consistent with applicable law.
      (b) The heads of executive departments and the agencies
    designated by the Chair under section 2(a) of this order shall
    identify a responsible official to represent the head of the
    executive department or agency on the Council with sufficient
    authority and experience to commit agency resources to address the
    Y2K problem.
      Sec. 4. Responsibilities of Interagency and Executive Office
    Councils. Interagency councils and councils within the Executive
    Office of the President, including the President's Management
    Council, the Chief Information Officers Council, the Chief
    Financial Officers Council, the President's Council on Integrity
    and Efficiency, the Executive Council on Integrity and Efficiency,
    the National Science and Technology Council, the National
    Performance Review, the National Economic Council, the Domestic
    Policy Council, and the National Security Council shall provide
    assistance and support to the Chair upon the Chair's request.
      Sec. 5. Information Coordination Center. (a) To assist the Chair
    in the Y2K response duties included under section 2(c) of this
    order, there shall be established the Information Coordination
    Center (ICC) in the General Services Administration.
      (b) At the direction of the Chair, the ICC will assist in making
    preparations for information sharing and coordination within the
    Federal Government and key components of the public and private
    sectors, coordinating agency assessments of Y2K emergencies that
    could have an adverse affect on U.S. interests at home and abroad,
    and, if necessary, assisting Federal agencies and the Chair in
    reconstitution processes where appropriate.
      (c) The ICC will:
      (1) consist of officials from executive agencies, designated by
    agency heads under subsection 3(a)(2) of this order, who have
    expertise in important management and technical areas, computer
    hardware, software or security systems, reconstitution and
    recovery, and of additional personnel hired directly or by
    contract, as required, to carry out the duties described under
    section 5 of this order;
      (2) work with the Council and the Office of Management and Budget
    to assure that Federal efforts to restore critical systems are
    coordinated with efforts managed by Federal agencies acting under
    existing emergency response authorities.
      (d) The Chair of the President's Council on Year 2000 Conversion
    shall designate a Director of the ICC.
      Sec. 6. Judicial Review. This Executive order is intended only to
    improve the internal management of the executive branch and does
    not create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural,
    enforceable at law or equity by a party against the United States,
    its agencies, or instrumentalities, its officers or employees, or
    any other person.
                                                     William J. Clinton.

        (C) from disapproving any collection of information contained
      in a final agency rule, if the Director finds within 60 days
      after the publication of the final rule that the agency's
      response to the Director's comments filed under paragraph (2) of
      this subsection was unreasonable; or
        (D) from disapproving any collection of information contained
      in a final rule, if - 
          (i) the Director determines that the agency has substantially
        modified in the final rule the collection of information
        contained in the proposed rule; and
          (ii) the agency has not given the Director the information
        required under paragraph (1) with respect to the modified
        collection of information, at least 60 days before the issuance
        of the final rule.

      (5) This subsection shall apply only when an agency publishes a
    notice of proposed rulemaking and requests public comments.
      (6) The decision by the Director to approve or not act upon a
    collection of information contained in an agency rule shall not be
    subject to judicial review.
      (e)(1) Any decision by the Director under subsection (c), (d),
    (h), or (j) to disapprove a collection of information, or to
    instruct the agency to make substantive or material change to a
    collection of information, shall be publicly available and include
    an explanation of the reasons for such decision.
      (2) Any written communication between the Administrator of the
    Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, or any employee of
    the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, and an agency or
    person not employed by the Federal Government concerning a proposed
    collection of information shall be made available to the public.
      (3) This subsection shall not require the disclosure of - 
        (A) any information which is protected at all times by
      procedures established for information which has been
      specifically authorized under criteria established by an
      Executive order or an Act of Congress to be kept secret in the
      interest of national defense or foreign policy; or
        (B) any communication relating to a collection of information
      which is not approved under this subchapter, the disclosure of
      which could lead to retaliation or discrimination against the
      communicator.

      (f)(1) An independent regulatory agency which is administered by
    2 or more members of a commission, board, or similar body, may by
    majority vote void - 
        (A) any disapproval by the Director, in whole or in part, of a
      proposed collection of information of that agency; or
        (B) an exercise of authority under subsection (d) of section
      3507 concerning that agency.

      (2) The agency shall certify each vote to void such disapproval
    or exercise to the Director, and explain the reasons for such vote.
    The Director shall without further delay assign a control number to
    such collection of information, and such vote to void the
    disapproval or exercise shall be valid for a period of 3 years.
      (g) The Director may not approve a collection of information for
    a period in excess of 3 years.
      (h)(1) If an agency decides to seek extension of the Director's
    approval granted for a currently approved collection of
    information, the agency shall - 
        (A) conduct the review established under section 3506(c),
      including the seeking of comment from the public on the continued
      need for, and burden imposed by the collection of information;
      and
        (B) after having made a reasonable effort to seek public
      comment, but no later than 60 days before the expiration date of
      the control number assigned by the Director for the currently
      approved collection of information, submit the collection of
      information for review and approval under this section, which
      shall include an explanation of how the agency has used the
      information that it has collected.

      (2) If under the provisions of this section, the Director
    disapproves a collection of information contained in an existing
    rule, or recommends or instructs the agency to make a substantive
    or material change to a collection of information contained in an
    existing rule, the Director shall - 
        (A) publish an explanation thereof in the Federal Register; and
        (B) instruct the agency to undertake a rulemaking within a
      reasonable time limited to consideration of changes to the
      collection of information contained in the rule and thereafter to
      submit the collection of information for approval or disapproval
      under this subchapter.

      (3) An agency may not make a substantive or material modification
    to a collection of information after such collection has been
    approved by the Director, unless the modification has been
    submitted to the Director for review and approval under this
    subchapter.
      (i)(1) If the Director finds that a senior official of an agency
    designated under section 3506(a) is sufficiently independent of
    program responsibility to evaluate fairly whether proposed
    collections of information should be approved and has sufficient
    resources to carry out this responsibility effectively, the
    Director may, by rule in accordance with the notice and comment
    provisions of chapter 5 of title 5, United States Code, delegate to
    such official the authority to approve proposed collections of
    information in specific program areas, for specific purposes, or
    for all agency purposes.
      (2) A delegation by the Director under this section shall not
    preclude the Director from reviewing individual collections of
    information if the Director determines that circumstances warrant
    such a review. The Director shall retain authority to revoke such
    delegations, both in general and with regard to any specific
    matter. In acting for the Director, any official to whom approval
    authority has been delegated under this section shall comply fully
    with the rules and regulations promulgated by the Director.
      (j)(1) The agency head may request the Director to authorize a
    collection of information, if an agency head determines that - 
        (A) a collection of information - 
          (i) is needed prior to the expiration of time periods
        established under this subchapter; and
          (ii) is essential to the mission of the agency; and

        (B) the agency cannot reasonably comply with the provisions of
      this subchapter because - 
          (i) public harm is reasonably likely to result if normal
        clearance procedures are followed;
          (ii) an unanticipated event has occurred; or
          (iii) the use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably
        likely to prevent or disrupt the collection of information or
        is reasonably likely to cause a statutory or court ordered
        deadline to be missed.

      (2) The Director shall approve or disapprove any such
    authorization request within the time requested by the agency head
    and, if approved, shall assign the collection of information a
    control number. Any collection of information conducted under this
    subsection may be conducted without compliance with the provisions
    of this subchapter for a maximum of 180 days after the date on
    which the Director received the request to authorize such
    collection.

-STATUTE-
      The Director may designate a central collection agency to obtain
    information for two or more agencies if the Director determines
    that the needs of such agencies for information will be adequately
    served by a single collection agency, and such sharing of data is

    agency to obtain. The Director may modify the designation from time
    to time as circumstances require. The authority to designate under
    this section is subject to the provisions of section 3507(f) of

      (a) There is established a task force to study the feasibility of
    streamlining requirements with respect to small business concerns
    regarding collection of information and strengthening dissemination
    of information (in this section referred to as the "task force").
      (b)(1) The Director shall determine -

      through (J).

      (c) The task force shall - 
        (1) identify ways to integrate the collection of information
      across Federal agencies and programs and examine the feasibility
      and desirability of requiring each agency to consolidate
      requirements regarding collections of information with respect to
      small business concerns within and across agencies, without
      negatively impacting the effectiveness of underlying laws and
      regulations regarding such collections of information, in order

      required by the agency - 
          (A) to 1 point of contact in the agency;
          (B) in a single format, such as a single electronic reporting

        having the same frequency, such as synchronized quarterly,
        semiannual, and annual reporting dates;

        (2) examine the feasibility and benefits to small businesses of
      publishing a list by the Director of the collections of
      information applicable to small business concerns (as defined in
      section 3 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632)), organized -
      
          (A) by North American Industry Classification System code;

      recommendations for implementing - 
          (A) systems for electronic submissions of information to the
        Federal Government; and
          (B) interactive reporting systems, including components that
        provide immediate feedback to assure that data being submitted -
         
            (i) meet requirements of format; and
            (ii) are within the range of acceptable options for each
          data field;

        (4) make recommendations to improve the electronic
      dissemination of information collected under Federal
      requirements;

      security efforts throughout the civilian, national security, and
      law enforcement communities;
        (3) provide for development and maintenance of minimum controls

-STATUTE-
      The purposes of this subchapter are to - 
        (1) provide a comprehensive framework for ensuring the
      effectiveness of information security controls over information
      resources that support Federal operations and assets;
        (2) recognize the highly networked nature of the current
      Federal computing environment and provide effective
      governmentwide management and oversight of the related
      information security risks, including coordination of information
      security efforts throughout the civilian, national security, and
      law enforcement communities;
        (3) provide for development and maintenance of minimum controls
      required to protect Federal information and information systems;
        (4) provide a mechanism for improved oversight of Federal
      agency information security programs;
        (5) acknowledge that commercially developed information
      security products offer advanced, dynamic, robust, and effective
      information security solutions, reflecting market solutions for
      the protection of critical information infrastructures important
      to the national defense and economic security of the nation that
      are designed, built, and operated by the private sector; and
        (6) recognize that the selection of specific technical hardware
      and software information security solutions should be left to
      individual agencies from among commercially developed products.

                           FINDINGS AND PURPOSES                       
      Pub. L. 107-347, Sec. 2, Dec. 17, 2002, 116 Stat. 2900, provided
    that:
      "(a) Findings. - Congress finds the following:
        "(1) The use of computers and the Internet is rapidly
      transforming societal interactions and the relationships among
      citizens, private businesses, and the Government.
        "(2) The Federal Government has had uneven success in applying
      advances in information technology to enhance governmental
      functions and services, achieve more efficient performance,
      increase access to Government information, and increase citizen
      participation in Government.
        "(3) Most Internet-based services of the Federal Government are
      developed and presented separately, according to the
      jurisdictional boundaries of an individual department or agency,
      rather than being integrated cooperatively according to function
      or topic.
        "(4) Internet-based Government services involving interagency
      cooperation are especially difficult to develop and promote, in
      part because of a lack of sufficient funding mechanisms to
      support such interagency cooperation.
        "(5) Electronic Government has its impact through improved
      Government performance and outcomes within and across agencies.
        "(6) Electronic Government is a critical element in the
      management of Government, to be implemented as part of a
      management framework that also addresses finance, procurement,
      human capital, and other challenges to improve the performance of
      Government.
        "(7) To take full advantage of the improved Government
      performance that can be achieved through the use of Internet-
      based technology requires strong leadership, better
      organization, improved interagency collaboration, and more
      focused oversight of agency compliance with statutes related to
      information resource management.
      "(b) Purposes. - The purposes of this Act [see Tables for
    classification] are the following:
        "(1) To provide effective leadership of Federal Government
      efforts to develop and promote electronic Government services and
      processes by establishing an Administrator of a new Office of
      Electronic Government within the Office of Management and Budget.
        "(2) To promote use of the Internet and other information
      technologies to provide increased opportunities for citizen
      participation in Government.
        "(3) To promote interagency collaboration in providing
      electronic Government services, where this collaboration would
      improve the service to citizens by integrating related functions,
      and in the use of internal electronic Government processes, where
      this collaboration would improve the efficiency and effectiveness
      of the processes.
        "(4) To improve the ability of the Government to achieve agency
      missions and program performance goals.
        "(5) To promote the use of the Internet and emerging
      technologies within and across Government agencies to provide
      citizen-centric Government information and services.
        "(6) To reduce costs and burdens for businesses and other
      Government entities.
        "(7) To promote better informed decisionmaking by policy
      makers.
        "(8) To promote access to high quality Government information
      and services across multiple channels.
        "(9) To make the Federal Government more transparent and
      accountable.
        "(10) To transform agency operations by utilizing, where
      appropriate, best practices from public and private sector
      organizations.
        "(11) To provide enhanced access to Government information and
      services in a manner consistent with laws regarding protection of
      personal privacy, national security, records retention, access
      for persons with disabilities, and other relevant laws."
