NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS

ADMINISTRATION

Records Schedules for Electronic

Copies Previously Covered by General

Records Schedule 20; Availability and

Request for Comments

AGENCY: National Archives and Records

Administration, Office of Records

Services—Washington, DC.

ACTION: Notice of availability of

proposed records schedules; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: The National Archives and

Records Administration (NARA)

publishes notice at least once monthly

of certain Federal agency requests for

records disposition authority (records

schedules). Once approved by NARA,

records schedules provide mandatory

instructions on what happens to records

when no longer needed for current

Government business. They authorize

the preservation of records of

continuing value in the National

Archives of the United States and the

destruction, after a specified period, of

records lacking administrative, legal,

research, or other value. Notice is

published for records schedules in

which agencies propose to destroy

records not previously authorized for

disposal or reduce the retention period

of records already authorized for

disposal.

This request for comments pertains

solely to schedules for electronic copies

of records created using word

processing and electronic mail where

the recordkeeping copies are already

scheduled. (Electronic copies are

records created using word processing

or electronic mail software that remain

in storage on the computer system after

the recordkeeping copies are produced.)

These records were previously

approved for disposal under General

Records Schedule 20, Items 13 and 14.

The agencies identified in this notice

have submitted schedules pursuant to

NARA Bulletin 99–04 to obtain separate

disposition authority for the electronic

copies associated with program records

and administrative records not covered

by the General Records Schedules.

NARA invites public comments on such

records schedules, as required by 44

U.S.C. 3303a(a). To facilitate review of

these schedules, their availability for

comment is announced in Federal

Register notices separate from those

used for other records disposition

schedules.

DATES: Requests for copies must be

received in writing on or before March

6, 2000. On request, NARA will send a

copy of the schedule. NARA staff

usually prepare appraisal

memorandums concerning a proposed

schedule. These, too, may be requested.

Requesters will be given 30 days to

submit comments.

Some schedules submitted in

accordance with NARA Bulletin 99–04

group records by program, function, or

organizational element. These schedules

do not include descriptions at the file

series level, but, instead, provide

citations to previously approved

schedules or agency records disposition

manuals (see SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of this notice). To

facilitate review of such disposition

requests, previously approved schedules

or manuals that are cited may be

requested in addition to schedules for

the electronic copies. NARA will

provide the first 100 pages at no cost.

NARA may charge $.20 per page for

additional copies. These materials also

may be examined at no cost at the

National Archives at College Park (8601

Adelphi Road, College Park, MD).

ADDRESSES: To request a copy of any

records schedule identified in this

notice, write to the Life Cycle

Management Division (NWML),

National Archives and Records

Administration (NARA), 8601 Adelphi

Road, College Park, MD 20740–6001.

Requests also may be transmitted by

FAX to 301–713–6852 or by e-mail to

records.mgt@arch2.nara.gov.

Requesters must cite the control

number, which appears in parentheses

after the name of the agency which

submitted the schedule, and must

provide a mailing address. Those who

desire appraisal reports and/or copies of

previously approved schedules or

manuals should so indicate in their

request.

Marie Allen, Director, Life Cycle

Management Division (NWML),

National Archives and Records

Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road,

College Park, MD 20740–6001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year

Federal agencies create billions of

records on paper, film, magnetic tape,

and other media. To control this

accumulation, agency records managers

3486 Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 14 / Friday, January 21, 2000 / Notices

prepare schedules proposing retention

periods for records and submit these

schedules for NARA approval, using the

Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for

Records Disposition Authority. These

schedules provide for the timely transfer

into the National Archives of

historically valuable records and

authorize the disposal of all other

records after the agency no longer needs

the records to conduct its business.

Routine administrative records

common to most agencies are approved

for disposal in the General Records

Schedules (GRS), which are disposition

schedules issued by NARA that apply

Government-wide.

On March 25, 1999, the Archivist

issued NARA Bulletin 99–04, which

told agencies what they must do to

schedule electronic copies associated

with previously scheduled program

records and certain administrative

records that were previously scheduled

under GRS 20, Items 13 and 14. On

December 27, 1999, the Archivist issued

NARA Bulletin 2000–02, which

suspended Bulletin 99–04 pending

NARA’s completion in FY 2001 of an

overall review of scheduling and

appraisal. On completion of this review,

which will address all records,

including electronic copies, NARA will

determine whether Bulletin 99–04

should be revised or replaced with an

alternative scheduling procedure.

However, NARA will accept and

process schedules for electronic copies

prepared in accordance with Bulletin

99–04 that are submitted after December

27, 1999, as well as schedules that were

submitted prior to this date.

Schedules submitted in accordance

with NARA Bulletin 99–04 only cover

the electronic copies associated with

previously scheduled series. Agencies

that wish to schedule hitherto

unscheduled series must submit

separate SF 115s that cover both

recordkeeping copies and electronic

copies used to create them.

In developing SF 115s for the

electronic copies of scheduled records,

agencies may use either of two

scheduling models. They may add an

appropriate disposition for the

electronic copies formerly covered by

GRS 20, Items 13 and 14, to every item

in their manuals or records schedules

where the recordkeeping copy has been

created with a word processing or

electronic mail application. This

approach is described as Model 1 in

Bulletin 99–04. Alternatively, agencies

may group records by program,

function, or organizational component

and propose disposition instructions for

the electronic copies associated with

each grouping. This approach is

described as Model 2 in the Bulletin.

Schedules that follow Model 2 do not

describe records at the series level.

For each schedule covered by this

notice the following information is

provided: Name of the Federal agency

and any subdivisions requesting

disposition authority; the organizational

unit(s) accumulating the records or a

statement that the schedule has agencywide applicability in the case of

schedules that cover records that may be

accumulated throughout an agency; the

control number assigned to each

schedule; the total number of schedule

items; the number of temporary items

(the record series proposed for

destruction); a brief description of the

temporary electronic copies; and

citations to previously approved SF

115s or printed disposition manuals that

scheduled the recordkeeping copies

associated with the electronic copies

covered by the pending schedule. If a

cited manual or schedule is available

from the Government Printing Office or

has been posted to a publicly available

Web site, this too is noted.

Further information about the

disposition process is available on

request.

Schedule Pending

1. Federal Communications

Commission, Compliance and

Information Bureau (N9–173–00–5, 1

item, 1 temporary item). Electronic

copies of records created using

electronic mail and word processing

regarding the development and

administration of policies and programs

relating to engineering activities

performed in the field and field

inspections or investigations required

by the Commission. Included are

electronic copies of records pertaining

to station inspections, surveys,

monitoring, direction finding, signal

measurement and investigations,

inspection of devices with

electromagnetic radiation

characteristics, and administrative

activities. This schedule follows Model

2 as described in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of this notice.

Recordkeeping copies of these files are

included in Disposition Job Numbers

NC1–173–78–3, NC1–173–80–3, NC1–

173–82–7, NC1–173–83–4, NC1–173–

BILLIING CODE 7515–01–P

NATIONAL CREDIT UNION

ADMINISTRATION

Privacy Act of 1974; Revisions of

Systems of Records

AGENCY: National Credit Union

Administration.

ACTION: Notification of revisions and

deletions of systems of records.

SUMMARY: The National Credit Union

Administration (NCUA) is revising its

Privacy Act systems notices. The

revisions result from a review of agency

information practices conducted in

accordance with the President’s May 14,

1998, memorandum on privacy and

personal information in federal records.

In the review, NCUA identified several

changes in its record-keeping practices

which permitted the elimination of

some systems and the consolidation of

others. Due to organizational changes,

several system managers had changed.

In some systems, NCUA staff identified

new routine uses compatible with the

purposes for which the information is

collected. No new exemptions from

provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974

were required. The revisions reflect the

changes, and clarify the system notices.

EFFECTIVE DATE: The revised system

notices will be effective without further

notice on February 22, 2000, unless

comments received before that date

cause a contrary decision. If, based on

the review of comments received,

NCUA determines to make changes to

the system notices, a new final notice

will be published.

Dianne M. Salva, Staff Attorney,

Division of Operations, Office of

General Counsel, at the National Credit

Union Administration, 1775 Duke

Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314, or

telephone: (703) 518–6540.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a

memorandum dated May 14, 1998,

President Clinton directed federal

agencies to conduct a thorough review

of all agency systems of records. The

President specifically directed agencies

to consider changes in technology,

function and organization that may have

made the systems out of date and to

review the routine uses published in the

system notices to make sure that they

continue to be necessary and compatible

with the purposes for which they were

collected. He also directed agencies to

identify systems that may not have been

described in a notice published in the

Federal Register and to publish notices

for any changes to the agency systems

of records and report to the Office of

Management and Budget within one

year regarding the results of their efforts.
