36 CFR Parts 1220, 1222, 1228, 1230, 1234, and 1238

RIN 3095-AA85


Technical Amendments to Records Management Regulations

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NARA is updating organizational titles and addresses in 36 CFR 
ch. XII, subchapter B, to reflect the current organizations that 
perform the functions. Since the regulations in 36 CFR ch. XII, 
subchapter B, were last revised, NARA has reorganized and renamed the 
offices that have records management responsibilities. Additionally, 
the offices have been relocated to the Archives II facility in College 
Park. Updating the titles and addresses will facilitate agency and 
public correspondence with NARA.

EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 1998.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy Allard at (301) 713-7360, 
extension 226.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule is being issued as a final rule 
without prior notice of proposed rulemaking because under 5 U.S.C. 553 
(b)(3)(A) it is exempt from notice-and-comment procedure as it solely 
concerns matters relating to internal agency organization. NARA finds 
good cause to issue this rule with an immediate effective date under 5 
U.S.C. 553(d)(3) because it is a nonsubstantive rule that only updates 
organizational titles and addresses.
    This rule is not a significant regulatory action for the purposes 
of Executive Order 12866, and has not been reviewed by OMB. As required 
by the Regulatory Flexibility Act, it is hereby certified that this 
rule will not have a significant impact on small entities.
    For the reasons set forth in the preamble, and under the authority 
of 44 U.S.C. 2104, NARA is amending chapter XII of title 36, Code of 
Federal Regulations, as follows:
