BILLING CODE 4510–24–P 

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS 

ADMINISTRATION 

[NARA–2016–025] 

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 

agencies to preserve records of 

continuing value in the National 

Archives of the United States and to 

destroy, after a specified period, records 

lacking administrative, legal, research, 

or other value. NARA publishes notice 

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: NARA must receive requests for 

copies in writing by May 2, 2016. Once 

NARA completes appraisal of the 

records, we will send you a copy of the 

schedule you requested. We usually 

prepare appraisal memoranda that 

contain additional information 

concerning the records covered by a 

proposed schedule. You may also 

request these. If you do, we will also 

provide them once we have completed 

the appraisal. You have 30 days after we 

send these requested documents in 

which to submit comments. 

ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of 

any records schedule identified in this 

notice by contacting Records 

Management Services (ACNR) using one 

of the following means: 

Mail: NARA (ACNR); 8601 Adelphi 

Road; College Park, MD 20740–6001. 

Email: request.schedule@nara.gov. 

FAX: 301–837–3698. 

You must cite the control number, 

which appears in parentheses after the 

name of the agency which submitted the 

schedule, and a mailing address. If you 

would like an appraisal report, please 

include that in your request. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Margaret Hawkins, Director, by mail at 

Records Management Services (ACNR); 

National Archives and Records 

Administration; 8601 Adelphi Road; 

College Park, MD 20740–6001, by phone 

at 301–837–1799, or by email at 

request.schedule@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. These 

schedules provide for 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. 

The schedules listed in this notice are 

media neutral unless otherwise 

specified. An item in a schedule is 

media neutral when an agency may 

apply the disposition instructions to 

records regardless of the medium in 

which it has created or maintains the 

records. Items included in schedules 

submitted to NARA on or after 

December 17, 2007, are media neutral 

unless the item is limited to a specific 

medium. (See 36 CFR 1225.12(e).) 

No agencies may destroy Federal 

records without the approval of the 

Archivist of the United States. The 

Archivist grants this approval only after 

a thorough consideration of the records’ 

administrative use by the agency of 

origin, the rights of the Government and 

of private people directly affected by the 

Government’s activities, and whether or 

not the records have historical or other 

value. 

In addition to identifying the Federal 

agencies and any subdivisions 

requesting disposition authority, this 

notice lists the organizational unit(s) 

accumulating the records or that the 

schedule has agency-wide applicability 

(in the case of schedules that cover 

records that may be accumulated 

throughout an agency), 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), and 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. 

You may request additional information 

about the disposition process at the 

addresses above. 

Schedules Pending 

1. Department of Agriculture, Farm 

Service Agency (DAA–0145–2015–0016, 

2 items, 2 temporary items). Records 

related to base acre, yield updates, and
