NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS

ADMINISTRATION

Records Schedules; Availability and

Request for Comments

AGENCY: National Archives and Records

Administration (NARA).

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. NARA invites public

comments on such records schedules, as

required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).

DATES: Requests for copies must be

received in writing on or before June 25,

2001. Once the appraisal of the records

is completed,NARA will send a copy of

the schedule. NARA staff usually

prepare appraisal memorandums that

contain additional information

concerning the records covered by a

proposed schedule. These, too, may be

requested and will be provided once the

appraisal is completed. Requesters will

be given 30 days to submit comments.

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@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

should so indicate in their request.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marie Allen, Director, Life Cycle

Management Division (NWML),

National Archives and Records

Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road,

College Park, MD 20740–6001.

Telephone: (301) 713–7110. E-mail:

records.mgt@ nara.gov.

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

prepare schedules proposing retention

periods for records and submit these

schedules for NARA’s 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

them to conduct its business. Some

schedules are comprehensive and cover

all the records of an agency or one of its

major subdivisions. Most schedules,

however, cover records of only one

office or program or a few series of

records. Many of these update

previously approved schedules, and

some include records proposed as

permanent.

No Federal records are authorized for

destruction without the approval of the

Archivist of the United States. This

approval is granted only after a

thorough consideration of 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

whether or not they have historical or

other value.

Besides identifying the Federal

agencies and any subdivisions

requesting disposition authority, this

public notice lists the organizational

unit(s) accumulating the records or

indicates agency-wide applicability in

the case of schedules that cover records

that may be accumulated throughout an

agency. This notice provides the control

number assigned to each schedule, the

total number of schedule items, and the

number of temporary items (the records

proposed for destruction). It also

includes a brief description of the

temporary records. The records

schedule itself contains a full

description of the records at the file unit

level as well as their disposition. If

NARA staff has prepared an appraisal

memorandum for the schedule, it too

includes information about the records.

Further information about the

disposition process is available on

request.
