Photography in Public Exhibit Space 

AGENCY: National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The proposed rule limits the 

use of film, photographic, and videotape 

equipment inside the National Archives 

Building in Washington, DC. Filming, 

photographing, and videotaping will be 

prohibited in exhibits of the National 

Archives Experience (NAE) in 

Washington, DC, including the 

Declaration of Independence, the 

Constitution, and the Bill of Rights 

(known as the Charters of Freedom) in 

the Rotunda of the National Archives 

Building. In 2003 NARA installed new

exhibit cases for displaying the Charters 

and other NAE documents to provide 

better clarity for viewing the exhibits. 

NARA seeks to ensure the necessary 

protection for the documents from the 

cumulative effects of photographic 

flash. 

DATES: Comments are due by September 

29, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: NARA invites interested 

persons to submit comments on this 

proposed rule. Comments may be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In order to 

secure and protect all documents on 

display in the National Archives 

Experience (NAE) from unnecessary 

exposure to the harmful effects of flash 

photography and to improve the overall 

visitor experience, NARA is proposing 

to ban all photography from exhibit 

areas in the NAE. The 2003 renovations 

to the Rotunda exhibit area included the 

installation of new exhibit cases, which 

were designed with special glass with 

high clarity and no colored filters, to 

improve the ability to see the 

documents on display. The new display 

cases provide little protection from the 

damaging effects of photographic flash. 

While NARA staff goes to great lengths 

to adjust the Rotunda light levels to 

protect documents on display from 

excess light, public photography with 

attendant flash works against the efforts 

to protect the documents. 

The NAE exhibitions primarily 

contain paper and parchment 

documents that are susceptible to the 

harmful effects of light and in particular 

to the cumulative effects of 

photographic flash. While all original 

documents on display are at risk from 

excessive light exposure, the 

Declaration of Independence, 

Constitution and Bill of Rights (known 

collectively as the Charters of Freedom) 

are especially susceptible to the 

damaging effects from photographic 

flash because these documents are on 

permanent display. 

Currently, signage, pamphlets, and 

security officers inform visitors that 

flash photography is prohibited in the 

exhibit areas. Most photographic flash 

occurs from accidental acts rather than 

intentional action. However, over the 

past six years it has proved to be an 

impossible task to prevent visitors from 

intentionally or accidentally using 

additional light. Security officers do 

escort those visitors out of the building 

who continue to use flash photography 

after being warned. But, by the time a 

security officer makes that decision, at 

least two or three flashes have already 

occurred, needlessly exposing 

documents to excessive light. Numerous 

visitors’ remarks in the informal 

visitors’ comment log as well as letters 

to NARA include apologies for 

inadvertent flash; complaints that flash 

disrupts their visit; that flash rules are 

not effectively enforced; and, that 

camera use should be banned. 

This proposed rule is not a significant 

regulatory action for the purposes of 

Executive Order 12866 and has not been 

reviewed by the Office of Management 

and Budget. As required by the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act, I certify that 

this rule will not have a significant 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities because it affects individuals. 

This regulation does not have any 

federalism implications. 

List of Subjects in 36 CFR Part 1280 

Archives and records, Federal 

buildings and facilities. 

For the reasons set forth in the 

preamble, NARA proposes to amend 

part 1280 of title 36, Code of Federal 

Regulations, as follows: 

PART 1280—USE OF NARA 

FACILITIES 

1. The authority citation for Part 1280 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 2102 notes, 2104(a), 

2112, 2903 

2. Amend § 1280.46 by redesignating 

(b)(3) as paragraph (c) and revising it to 

read as follows: 

§ 1280.46 What are the rules for filming, 

photographing, or videotaping on NARA 

property for personal use? 

* * * * * 

(c) You may not film, photograph, or 

videotape in any of the exhibit areas of 

the National Archives Building in 

Washington, DC, including the Rotunda 

where the Declaration of Independence, 

the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights 

are displayed.

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; West 

Virginia; Determination of Clean Data 

for the 1997 Fine Particulate Matter 

Standard 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to 

determine that the West Virginia 

portions of three nonattainment areas 

for the 1997 fine particulate (PM2.5) 

National Ambient Air Quality Standard 

(NAAQS) have clean data for the 1997 

PM2.5 NAAQS. These are Berkeley 

County, part of the HagerstownMartinsburg MD-WV nonattainment 

area; Wood County, part of the 

Parkersburg-Marietta WV–OH 

nonattainment area; and Marshall 

County and Ohio County, part of the 

Wheeling WV–OH nonattainment area, 

hereinafter referred to in this notice as 

the West Virginia portions of the 

Hagerstown-Martinsburg, ParkersburgMarietta, and Wheeling PM2.5

nonattainment areas. This proposed 

determination is based upon quality 

assured, quality controlled, and certified 

ambient air monitoring data that show 

that these areas have monitored 

attainment of the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS 

based on 2006–2008 data. In addition, 

quality controlled and quality assured 

monitoring data for 2009 that are 

available in the EPA Air Quality System 

(AQS) database, but not yet certified, 

show these areas continue to have clean 

data for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS. If this 

proposed determination is made final, 

the requirements for these areas to 

submit an attainment demonstration, 

associated reasonably available 

measures, a reasonable further progress 

plan, contingency measures, and other 

planning State Implementation Plans 

(SIPs) related to attainment of the 

standard shall be suspended for so long 

as the area continues to meet the 1997 

PM2.5 NAAQS. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before August 31, 2009.
