 National Archives and Records Administration 36 CFR Part 1228
RIN 3095-AB41
 AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
 ACTION: Final rule.
 SUMMARY: NARA is revising our regulations to allow unscheduled records to be transferred to records storage facilities. These changes will allow agencies to transfer unscheduled records in a timely manner.
 DATES: This rule is effective January 14, 2005.
 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cheryl Stadel-Bevans at telephone number (301) 837-3021 or fax number (301) 837-0319.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NARA published a proposed rule on September 17, 2004, at 69 FR 56015, for a 60-day public comment period. We received two comments, both from Federal agencies. One comment expressed no concerns about the proposed rule. The second comment supported the changes 
                    ( print page 74977)
                    outlined in the proposed rule. Therefore, we are making no changes in this final rule. This final rule is not a significant regulatory action for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 and has been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act, it is hereby certified that this final rule will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities because this rule applies to Federal agencies. This final rule does not have any federalism implications. List of Subjects in 36 CFR Part 1228 Archives and records
