separate rulemaking. Until these 

standards are published as a final rule, 

we recommend that agencies discuss 

digitization projects with their general 

counsel before disposing of original 

records. 

While we develop the standards 

necessary for digitizing permanent 

Federal records, agencies should 

continue to follow the process in the 

General Records Schedule, 36 CFR 

1225.24, and NARA Bulletin 2010–04, 

Guidance Concerning Notifications for 

Previously Scheduled Permanent 

Records (https://www.archives.gov/ 

records-mgmt/bulletins/2010/2010- 

04.html). 

In addition to issuing digitization 

standards for temporary records, we are 

also removing 36 CFR 1236.1 because it 

restates the authorities already cited in 

the authority line. We are also working 

on revisions to the rest of this regulation 

regarding electronic records 

management, but those revisions will be 

reflected in future rulemakings. 

Regulatory Review Information 

This rule is not a significant 

regulatory action for the purposes of 

E.O. 12866 and a significance 

determination was requested from the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB). As a result, this rule is also not 

subject to deregulatory requirements 

contained in E.O. 13771. It is also not 

a major rule as defined in 5 U.S.C. 

Chapter 8, Congressional Review of 

Agency Rulemaking. As required by the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act, we certify 

that this rule will not have a significant 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities; it applies only to agency efforts 

to digitize temporary records. This rule 

also does not have any Federalism 

implications and does not contain any 

collections of information under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act. 

List of Subjects in 36 CFR Part 1236 

Archives and records. 

For the reasons stated in the 

preamble, NARA amends 36 CFR part 

1236 as follows: 

■ 1. Revise the authority citation for part 

1236 to read as follows: 

Authority: 44 U.S.C. 2904, 3101, 3102, 

3105, 3301, 3302, and 3312. 

■ 2. Revise the table of contents by: 

■ a. Removing the entry for 1236.1, 

What are the authorities for part 1236?, 

and 

■ b. Adding a new Subpart D to read as 

follows: 

Subpart D—Digitizing Federal Records 

1236.30 Digitizing temporary records. 

(a) Agencies must apply the following 

standards when digitally reproducing 

(digitizing) temporary records in order 

to destroy the original source records. 

(b) When digitizing temporary 

records, agencies must: 

(1) Capture all information contained 

in the source records; 

(2) Include all the pages or parts in 

the source records; 

(3) Ensure they can use the digital 

versions for the purposes the source 

records served; and 

(4) Ensure they can locate, retrieve, 

access, and use the digital versions for 

the records’ entire retention period. 

(c) Agencies must validate that the 

digital versions meet the standards in 

subparagraph (b). When an agency has 

validated that the digital versions meet 

these standards, the agency can destroy 

the original source records pursuant to 

a NARA-approved GRS and agencyspecific records schedule.

public hearing. The hearing will provide 

interested parties the opportunity to 

present data, views, or arguments
