implementing a normal Cassini mission

would not significantly impact the

human environment. The principal

concern associated with all mission

alternatives (except No-Action) was

with accidents during launch and

operation of the mission that have the

potential to result in a release of

plutonium dioxide from the RTG’s and/

or RHU’s onboard the spacecraft. In

response, NASA and the U.S.

Department of Energy (DOE), using the

best information available at that time,

developed an array of representative

accident scenarios that could potentially

result in a release of plutonium dioxide

from the RTG’s. NASA and DOE

analyzed the representative accident

scenarios with respect to the

consequences and risks. The results of

those analyses were presented in the

Cassini EIS.

Updated results from the continuing

tests and analyses have recently become

available for NASA review. This

updated data indicates that there is new

information relevant to the

environmental impacts of the Proposed

Action.

The DSEIS compares the updated data

from the ongoing analyses with those in

the EIS and focuses on the areas where

the largest differences are estimated.

The DSEIS addresses the Proposed

Action, the No-Action alternative, and

the 2001 mission alternative that is still

available to NASA.

Acting Associate Administrator for

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS

ADMINISTRATION

Records Schedules; Availability and

Request for Comments

AGENCY: Office of National Archives and

Records Administration, Records

Services.

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). Records schedules identify

records of sufficient value to warrant

preservation in the National Archives of

the United States. Schedules also

authorize agencies after a specified

period to dispose of records lacking

administrative, legal, research, or other

value. Notice is published for records

schedules that (1) Propose the

destruction of records not previously

authorized for disposal, or (2) reduce

the retention period for records already

authorized for disposal. NARA invites

public comments on such schedules, as

required by 44 USC 3303a(a).

DATES: Requests for copies must be

received in writing on or before May 27,

1997. Once the appraisal of the records

is completed, NARA will send a copy of

the schedule. The requester will be

given 30 days to submit comments.

ADDRESSES: Address requests for single

copies of schedules identified in this

notice to the Civilian Appraisal Staff

(NWRC), National Archives and Records

Administration, College Park, MD

20740–6001. Requesters must cite the

control number assigned to each

schedule when requesting a copy. The

control number appears in the

parentheses immediately after the name

of the requesting agency.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year

U.S. Government agencies create

billions of records on paper, film,

magnetic tape, and other media. In order

to control this accumulation, agency

records managers prepare records

schedules specifying when the agency

no longer needs the records and what

happens to the records after this period.

Some schedules are comprehensive and

cover all the records of an agency or one

of its major subdivisions. These

comprehensive schedules provide for

the eventual transfer to the National

Archives of historically valuable records

and authorize the disposal of all other

records. Most schedules, however, cover

records of only one office or program or

a few series of records, and many are
17218 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 68 / Wednesday, April 9, 1997 / Notices

updates of previously approved

schedules. Such schedules also may

include records that are designated for

permanent retention.

Destruction of records requires the

approval of the Archivist of the United

States. This approval is granted after a

thorough study of the records that takes

into account their administrative use by

the agency of origin, the rights of the

Government and of private persons

directly affected by the Government’s

activities, and historical or other value.

This public notice identifies the

Federal agencies and their subdivisions

requesting disposition authority,

includes the control number assigned to

each schedule, and briefly describes the

records proposed for disposal. The

records schedule contains additional

information about the records and their

disposition. Further information about

the disposition process will be

furnished to each requester.

Schedules Pending

States Courts (N1–116–96–5). Firearms
