NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS

ADMINISTRATION

Records Schedules; Availability and

Request for Comments

AGENCY: National Archives and Records

Administration, Office of Records

Administration.

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: Request for copies must be

received in writing on or before July 29,

1996. 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 Records Appraisal and

Disposition Division (NIR), National

Archives and Records Administration,

College Park, MD 20740. 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

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.

BILLING CODE 7590–01–M

Phased Withdrawal From the Small

Business Innovation Research (SBIR)

Program in FY 1996

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory

Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The NRC has participated in

the SBIR program since its inception in

1982. However, due to significant

reductions in the NRC’s FY 1996

budget, the extramural research and

development (R&D) budget falls

substantially below the $100 million

threshold for mandatory participation in

the SBIR program. This current trend is

expected to continue into future fiscal

years. The NRC must focus its limited

research funds on high priority work

needed to support, confirm, or refine

judgments used in regulatory decisions

affecting public health and safety.

Therefore, the NRC requested, in a letter

to the U.S. Small Business

Administration, Office of Technology

dated September 19, 1995, approval for

a phased withdrawal from the SBIR

program in FY 1996 and beyond. SBA

responded on April 16, 1996, that the

NRC’s phased withdrawal was

approved. Should the NRC’s extramural

R&D budget increase above the $100

million threshold in the coming years,

the NRC would again participate in the

SBIR program. The phased withdrawal is being

accomplished as follows: (1) A SBIR

Phase I solicitation will not be issued in

FY 1996 or future years while the NRC

is below the mandatory threshold for

participation in this program; (2) in FY

1996 the NRC will fund between onethird and one-half of the Phase II

proposals resulting from its FY 1995

SBIR Phase I awards; and (3) the NRC

is informing the small business

community of this action through this

Federal Register Notice and will issue

letters to the small businesses on its

SBIR mailing list.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marianne Riggs on (301) 415–5822 or

Deborah Neff on (301) 415–8160.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC

continues to support small business

opportunities. For further information

regarding the NRC small business

program, you may contact the Office of

Small Business and Civil Rights on

(301) 415–7380.

Dated at Rockville, MD this 10th day of
