1By managing, we include identifying, 

scheduling, and transferring to the National 

Archives. 

Identification, Preservation, and 

Continued Access to Permanently 

Valuable Electronic Records 

To ensure the identification, 

preservation, and continued access to 

Government information on the Internet 

and to other electronic records, NARA 

will develop policy for managing 1

permanent or potentially permanent 

electronic records generated in Federal 

agencies. 

In addition to developing the tools 

outlined above and continuing general 

work on NARA regulations and 

guidance, NARA will develop: 

• Concise, public-use versions of 

criteria in NARA 1441, Appraisal Policy 

of the National Archives and Records 

Administration. 

• Concise articulations of NARA’s 

permanent records priorities based on 

our governmentwide resource allocation 

results, identifying the Federal 

Enterprise Architecture, Business 

Reference Model, Services to Citizens 

areas (Lines of Business) that NARA is 

most concerned with. 

• Self-analysis checklists for Federal 

agencies to use to identify and report 

on: 

(a) The major government information 

systems resources that they are 

responsible for that generate permanent 

or potentially permanent electronic 

records; and 

(b) The general, high-level technical 

requirements Federal agencies must 

meet to manage their permanent or 

potentially permanent electronic 

records. 

The agency self-analysis would 

include the NARA 1441 and the 

resource allocation criteria, as well as 

technical evaluation based on the 

Records Management Profile. 

These tools will allow agencies to 

help Federal agencies and NARA 

identify and manage the electronic 

records that need to be preserved for 

access and use by future generations. 

TIMELINE FOR ACTION

Date required 

Responsible party 

(Federal agencies 

or NARA) 

Required actions 

Ongoing .................................................. Federal Agencies Federal agencies are already required to: 

• Implement processes and procedures to manage electronic records in existing 

agency systems; 

• Transfer to NARA permanent electronic records from existing or legacy systems according to approved records schedules; 

• Identify, schedule, and transfer to NARA permanent or potentially permanent 

electronic records from existing or legacy systems. 

By September 30, 2009, agencies must have NARA-approved records schedules covering all existing (as of December 17, 2005) electronic records systems. 

Ongoing .................................................. Federal Agencies Federal agencies must build records management capabilities into all newly developed systems that generate Federal records, specifically including 

functionalities to identify and transfer to NARA records of permanent or potentially permanent value. 

By FY 2008 (October 1, 2007) ............... NARA ................... NARA will: 

• Articulate specifications for agencies to use to ensure the solutions professional and IT service providers sell to Federal agencies meet statutory and 

regulatory Federal records management requirements; and 

• Promulgate additional guidance and best practices for Federal agencies to 

identify, schedule, and transfer to NARA permanent or potentially permanent 

electronic records from existing or legacy systems.

NATIONAL SCIENCE FOUNDATION 

Notice of Availability of Draft 

Environmental Assessment for the 

Very Energetic Radiation Imaging 

Telescope Array System (Veritas) 

AGENCIES: National Science Foundation 

(Lead Agency) and the U.S. Department 

of Energy (Cooperating Agency With 

Jurisdiction). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

availability, and opportunity for public 

review and comment, of the 

environmental assessment (EA) that 

supports the National Science 

Foundation (NSF) and U.S. Department 

of Energy (DOE) proposal to authorize 

the continued expenditure of grant 

funds totaling $12.3 million by the 

Smithsonian Institution to construct a 

four-telescope array near Tucson, 

Arizona. The draft EA is available at 

http://veritas.sao.arizona.edu/. 

DATES: Comments should be received by 

the Agencies’ third-party contractor, 

SWCA Environmental Consultants, no 

later than December 9, 2005. 

ADDRESSES: Comments, or requests for 

copies of the draft EA, should be sent to: 

Tom Furgason, Project Manager, SWCA 

Environmental Consultants, 343 West 

Franklin Street, Tucson, AZ 85701. 

Requests for copies of the draft EA 

may also be made by calling (520) 325–

9194. Comments may be mailed to the 

address above or sent via facsimile at 

(520) 325–2003. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NSF 

and DOE propose to authorize the 

continued expenditure of grant funds 

totaling $12.3 million by the 

Smithsonian Institution to construct a 

four-telescope array near Tucson, 

Arizona. The proposed telescopes and 

ancillary facilites are known as the Very 

Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope 

Array System (VERITAS). The purpose 

of the proposed project would be to 

provide the ground-based capability to 

study extremely energetic gamma rays 

potentially produced from a variety of 

astrophysical sources. VERITAS would 

permit researchers to study the 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 218 / Monday, November 14, 2005 / Notices 69169 

properties of the sources of these gamma 

rays. 

VERITAS would consist of an array of 

four identical telescopes, and ancillary 

facilites such as control building, 

communications links, and an access 

road with underground utilities. The 

preferred alternative site for VERITAS is 

a 10-hectare (25-acre) parcel in an area 

located west of the top of Kitt Peak in 

Horsehose Canyon. The proposed 

project area is within the Kitt Peak 

National Observatory (KPNO) area 

leased by NSF from the Tohono 

O’odham Nation. A 4-hectare (10-acre) 

site known as Montosa Canyon, located 

in the Coronado National Forest in 

southern Arizona, is also evaluated as 

an alternative site. Under the no action 

alternative, NSF and DOE would make 

no further funds available for the 

construction of the VERITAS project.
