Audiovisual Records Management

AGENCY: National Archives and Records

Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This regulation revises and

expands NARA regulations pertaining to

audiovisual records management and

the transfer of permanent audiovisual

records to the National Archives from

Federal agencies. The revisions are

necessary in order to update standards,

to provide coverage for new audiovisual

media that are used in the creation of

Federal records, and to reflect the

transfer to the Department of

Commerce’s National Technical

Information Services of the centralized

audiovisual distribution services

formerly performed by the National

Audiovisual Center. This regulation

affects Federal agencies.

DATES: This rule is effective July 24,

1996. This incorporation by reference

was approved by the Director of the

Federal Register effective July 24, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Nancy Allard at 301–713–6730 or TDD

301–713–6760.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NARA

published a notice of proposed

rulemaking on September 28, 1995, (60

FR 50158) for a 60-day comment period.

Four written comments were received.

The proposed rule addressed matters

regarding the transfer of permanent

audiovisual records to the National

Archives from Federal agencies,

particularly with regard to videotape

copies of motion picture film, record

elements for compact discs and video

discs, audio and video tape recordings,

and related captions or finding aids in

electronic form. The proposed rule also

revised audiovisual definitions, updated

various standards, and deleted the

provision for temporary storage space in

NARA’s cold storage vaults and

regulations governing centralized

audiovisual services. Additional

information will be provided in a

forthcoming revision of NARA’s

instructional guide, ‘‘Managing

Audiovisual Records.’’

Following is a discussion of the issues

raised in the written comments.

One agency asked whether agencies

would have to modify their approved

records disposition schedules (SF 115),

especially for older series of records, to

conform to the new requirements or

could the agencies select a ‘‘start’’ date

for implementation. These regulations

are mandatory as of the effective date of

this final rule. Agencies must follow the

requirements specified in Part 1232 for

all audiovisual records; however,

agencies do not need to submit new SFs

115 merely to conform to the regulation

and NARA will not apply the new

transfer requirements in Part 1228

retrospectively to records that are in

existence as of the effective date.

Section 1228.184 Audiovisual Records

Two agencies reported that the

transfer provision relating to copies of

audiovisual records, particularly color

photographs, outlined in

§ 1228.184(b)(2) would be too expensive

for agencies to implement. One of the

agencies also objected to the

requirements for the transfer of agencyacquired motion picture films outlined

in § 1228.184(a)(2), indicating that if

these were not created or purchased at

the time of acquisition, ‘‘this would

impose an additional burden on the

agency.’’ The changes proposed in these

paragraphs were intended to provide

greater flexibility for agencies to meet

long-standing requirements. Production

of requisite copies is necessary to

properly preserve and make available

permanent agency audiovisual records.

NARA is, therefore, retaining the

minimum requirements that were

included in the proposed rule, but has

expanded the options provided for color

photographs in § 1228.184(b)(2). NARA

has also modified the wording in

§ 1228.184(c)(2) regarding analog audio

recordings in response to one agency’s

observation that the broadcasting

industry is moving toward other

methods of both audio and video

recording. This section now provides for

a ‘‘subsequent generation copy for

reference.’’ This language is consistent

to the wording applying to video

recordings in § 1228.184(d)(1).

Two agencies commented that the

requirement pertaining to electronic

versions of finding aids and production

documentation mentioned in

§ 1228.184(e)(1) would present an

undue burden on agencies when many

agency electronic finding aids are

created on personal computers. NARA

agrees and has revised this section to

indicate that when this is the case,

NARA will accept two versions of

electronic finding aids: one in the native

format and the other in a format that is

migratable to software NARA can

support at the time of transfer. Both

versions must be part of the transfer.
32336 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 122 / Monday, June 24, 1996 / Rules and Regulations

Section 1232.26 Storage Conditions

One agency recommended replacing

the reference NFPA 232–1991, Standard

for the Protection of Records issued by

the National Fire Protection Association

with ANSI/NFPA 232A–1995, Fire

Protection for Archives and Records

Centers. NARA agrees that the suggested

standard is more appropriate and made

the change. To provide better guidance

concerning what consitutes ‘‘cold’’ and

‘‘cooler’’ temperatures in § 1232.26(b),

NARA has added a reference to the

appropriate ANSI/NAPM standard.

Section 1232.30 Choosing Formats

One agency thought that the

requirements at § 1232.30(a) regarding

residual sodium thiosulfate (hypo)

would require rewashing processed

film, which could damage attached

caption information. No change was

made because it is stated that this

procedure is for newly processed blackand-white photographic film, not

rewashing film already processed.

NARA also clarified the wording

regarding the maximum level of residual

sodium thiosulfate on newly processed

film.

One agency asked NARA to define

what constitutes ‘‘industrial or

professional recording equipment and

videotape’’ in § 1232.30(b)(c). The

general wording was used to avoid

imposing on agencies a specific and

current professional technology that

would quickly become obsolete. In

addition, NARA emphasized in the

proposed rule that consumer formats of

audio and video recordings were not

acceptable for creating permanent

records.

Other

NARA has also corrected an

inadvertant error in the proposed rule

concerning the applicability of the

regulation to all Federal agencies. The

final rule applies to all Federal agencies,

as defined at 36 CFR 1220.14. This is

consistent with current practice. Section

1232.1 emphasized the applicability of

Part 1232 to Executive agencies, but did

not include wholely owned government

corporations which are defined in 36

CFR 1220.14 as Executive agencies. The

definition of ‘‘agency’’ in the proposed

§ 1232.10 also was inconsistent with the

definition of that term in § 1220.14. The

proposed § 1232.20 correctly stated that

the audiovisual records management

program responsibilities applied to all

Federal agencies.

In this final rule, NARA has deleted

the erroneous last sentence in § 1232.1

and the definition of ‘‘agency’’ in

§ 1232.10. We have retained the

reference to the general definitions at

§ 1220.14 in an introductory sentence to

that section.

NARA also has updated the editions

of some of the standards incorporated

by reference to reflect more current

standards relating to audiovisual

materials.

This rule is a not a significant

regulatory action for purposes of

Executive Order 12866 of September 30,

1993. As such, it has not been reviewed

by the Office of Management and

Budget. As required by the Regulatory

Flexibility Act, it is hereby certified that

this rule will not have a significant

impact on small entities. This rule is not

a major rule for purposes of

Congressional review of regulations

under 5 U.S.C. Chapter 8.

For the reasons set forth in the

preamble, 36 CFR chapter XII is

amended as follows:

PART 1228—DISPOSITION OF

FEDERAL RECORDS

1. The authority citation for part 1228

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 44 U.S.C. chs. 21, 29, and 33.

2. Section 1228.184 is revised to read

as follows:

§ 1228.184 Audiovisual records.

The following types of audiovisual

records appraised as permanent shall be

transferred to the National Archives as

soon as they become inactive or

whenever the agency cannot provide

proper care and handling of the records,

including adequate storage conditions,

to facilitate their preservation by the

National Archives (see part 1232 of this

chapter). In general the physical types

described below constitute the

minimum record elements for archival

purposes that are required to provide for

future preservation, duplication, and

reference needs.

(a) Motion pictures. (1) Agencysponsored or produced motion picture

films (e.g., public information films)

whether for public or internal use:

(i) Original negative or color original

plus separate optical sound track;

(ii) Intermediate master positive or

duplicate negative plus optical track

sound track; and,

(iii) Sound projection print and video

recording, if both exist.

(2) Agency-acquired motion picture

films: Two projection prints in good

condition or one projection print and

one videotape.

(3) Unedited footage, outtakes and

trims (the discards of film productions)

that are properly arranged, labeled, and

described and show unstaged,

unrehearsed events of historical interest

or historically significant phenomena:

(i) Original negative or color original;

and

(ii) Matching print or videotape.

(b) Still pictures. (1) For black-andwhite photographs, an original negative

and a captioned print although the

captioning information can be

maintained in another file such as a data

base if the file number correlation is

clear. If the original negative is nitrate,

unstable acetate, or glass based, a

duplicate negative on a polyester base is

also needed.

(2) For color photographs, the original

color negative, color transparency, or

color slide; a captioned print of the

original color negative; and/or

captioning information as described

above if for an original color

transparency or original color slide; and

a duplicate negative, or slide, or

transparency, if they exist.

(3) For slide sets, the original and a

reference set, and the related audio

recording and script.

(4) For other pictorial records such as

posters, original art work, and

filmstrips, the original and a reference

copy.

(c) Sound recordings. (1) Disc

recordings:

(i) For conventional disc recordings,

the master tape and two disc pressings

of each recording, typically a vinyl copy

for playback at 331⁄3 revolutions per

minute (rpm).

(ii) For compact discs, the origination

recording regardless of form and two

compact discs.

(2) For analog audio recordings on

magnetic tape (open reel, cassette, or

cartridge), the original tape, or the

earliest available generation of the

recording, and a subsequent generation

copy for reference. Section 1232.30(d) of

this subchapter requires the use of openreel analog magnetic tape for original

audio recordings.

(d) Video recordings. (1) For

videotape, the original or earliest

generation videotape and a copy for

reference. Section 1232.30(c) of this

subchapter requires the use of

industrial-quality or professional

videotapes for use as originals, although

VHS copies can be transferred as

reference copies.

(2) For video discs, the premaster

videotape used to manufacture the
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 122 / Monday, June 24, 1996 / Rules and Regulations 32337

video disc and two copies of the disc.

Video discs that depend on interactive

software and nonstandard equipment

may not be acceptable for transfer.

(e) Finding aids and production

documentation. The following records

shall be transferred to the National

Archives with the audiovisual records

to which they pertain.

(1) Existing finding aids such as data

sheets, shot lists, continuities, review

sheets, catalogs, indexes, list of

captions, and other documentation that

are helpful or necessary for the proper

identification, or retrieval of audiovisual

records. Agencies should contact the

Nontextual Archives Division, or its

appropriate audiovisual branch, to

determine the type of hardware and

software that is currently acceptable for

transfer to the National Archives as an

agency electronic finding aid that will

accompany its audiovisual records. In

general, however, agencies must transfer

two copies of the electronic finding aid,

one in its native format with its field

structure documented, and a second

copy in a contemporary format available

at the time of transfer that NARA will

be able to support and import to its

database.

(2) Production case files or similar

files that include copies of production

contracts, scripts, transcripts, and

appropriate documentation bearing on

the origin, acquisition, release, and

ownership of the production.

§ 1232.1 Applicability and scope.

This part prescribes policies and

procedures for managing audiovisual

records to ensure adequate and proper

documentation and authorized, timely,

and appropriate disposition.

§ 1232.2 Objectives.

The objectives of audiovisual records

management are to achieve the effective

creation, maintenance, use, and

disposition of audiovisual and related

records by establishing standards for

maintenance and disposition, physical

security, and preservation and by

reviewing recordkeeping practices on a

continuing basis to improve procedures.

§ 1232.10 Definitions.

For the purposes of this part, the

following definitions shall apply (see

also § 1220.14 of this chapter for other

definitions).

Audiovisual. Any pictorial or aural

means of communicating information.

Audiovisual equipment. Equipment

used for recording, producing,

duplicating, processing, broadcasting,

distributing, storing or exhibiting

audiovisual materials or for providing

any audiovisual services.

Audiovisual production. An

organized and unified presentation,

developed according to a plan or script,

containing visual imagery, sound, or

both, and used to convey information.

An audiovisual production generally is

a self-contained presentation.

Audiovisual productions may include

motion media with synchronous sound

such as motion picture film, videotape

or other video formats, audio

recordings, and other media such as

synchronized audio and visual

presentations such as multimedia

productions.

Audiovisual records. Records in

pictorial or aural form that include still

and motion media, sound recordings,

graphic works, mixed media, and

related finding aids and production

files.

Subpart B—Audiovisual Records

Management

§ 1232.20 Agency program

responsibilities.

Each Federal agency, in providing for

effective controls over the creation of

records, shall establish an appropriate

program for the management of

audiovisual records. This program shall

be governed by the following

requirements:

(a) Prescribe the types of records to be

created and maintained so that

audiovisual activities and their products

are properly documented. (Regulations

on the appropriate types of permanent

audiovisual records are located in

§ 1228.184 of this chapter.)

(b) Ensure that adequate training is

provided to:

(1) Agency personnel responsible for

the disposition of audiovisual records;

(2) Contractor personnel who have

temporary custody of audiovisual

records; and,

(3) All users who create, handle, or

maintain audiovisual records or operate

equipment for their use.

(c) Ensure that contract provisions

protect the Government’s legal title and

control over audiovisual records and

related documentation produced or

maintained by contract. Ensure that

contract provisions identify as

deliverables any working papers/files

that are needed for adequate and proper

documentation. Include a provision that

permits the Government to inspect

contractor facilities used for the storage

and handling of permanent or

unscheduled audiovisual records.

Agencies shall inspect such facilities at

least once each year.

(d) Keep inventories indicating the

location of all generations of

audiovisual records, whether in agency

storage or in another facility such as a

laboratory or library distribution center.

(e) Schedule disposition of all

audiovisual records as soon as

practicable after creation. General

Records Schedule 21 provides

mandatory disposal authorization for

temporary audiovisual records common

to most Federal offices. Agencies must

submit an SF 115, Request for Records

Disposition Authority, to NARA to

obtain authorization for the disposition

of all other audiovisual records. The

schedules covering permanent records

must specify the different record

elements identified in § 1228.184, and

must always include related finding

aids.

(f) Periodically review agency

audiovisual recordkeeping practices for

conformance with requirements and

take necessary corrective action.

§ 1232.22 Nitrocellulose film.

Nitrocellulose-base film once used in

the manufacture of sheet film and

motion pictures may be occasionally

found in records storage areas. The

nitrocellulose base, a substance akin to

gun cotton, is chemically unstable and

highly inflammable.

(a) Agencies must remove

nitrocellulose film materials from

records storage areas.

(b) Agencies must immediately notify

NARA about the existence of

nitrocellulose film materials because of

their age and instability. NARA will

determine if they may be destroyed or

destroyed after a copy is made for

transfer, as appropriate.

(c) If NARA appraises nitrate film

materials as disposable, but the agency

wishes to retain them, agencies must

follow the guidance in NFPA 40–1994,
32338 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 122 / Monday, June 24, 1996 / Rules and Regulations

Standard for the Storage and Handling

of Cellulose Nitrate Motion Picture

Film, which is incorporated by

reference. NFPA 40–1994 is available

from the National Fire Protection

Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy,

MA 02269. This standard is also

available for inspection at the Office of

the Federal Register, 800 North Capitol

Street, NW., suite 700, Washington, D.C.

This incorporation by reference was

approved by the Director of the Federal

Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C.

552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. These

materials are incorporated by reference

as they exist on the date of approval and

a notice of any change in these materials

will be published in the Federal

Register.

(d) The packing and shipping of

nitrate film are governed by the

following Department of Transportation

regulations: 49 CFR 172.101, Hazardous

materials table; 172.504, Transportation;

173.24, Standard requirements for all

packages; and 173.177, Motion picture

film and X- ray film—nitrocellulose

base.

§ 1232.24 Unstable cellulose-acetate film.

Cellulose-acetate film, also known as

safety film, is nonflammable and does

not represent the same degree of hazard

as nitrate film materials. Nonetheless,

cellulose-acetate film also deteriorates

over time. Temperature, humidity,

harmful storage enclosures, and gaseous

products influence the rate of

deterioration. Agencies shall inspect

cellulose-acetate film periodically for an

acetic odor, wrinkling, or the presence

of crystalline deposits on the edge or

surface of the film that indicate

deterioration. Agencies shall notify

NARA within 30 days after inspection

about deteriorating permanent or

unscheduled audiovisual records

composed of cellulose acetate so that

they can be copied.

§ 1232.26 Storage conditions.

Agencies must:

(a) Provide audiovisual records

storage facilities that are secure from

unauthorized access and make them

safe from fire, water, flood, chemical or

gas damage and from other harmful

conditions. See NFPA 232A–1995,

Guide for Fire Protection for Archives

and Records Centers issued by the

National Fire Protection Association,

which is incorporated by reference. The

standard is available from the National

Fire Protection Association,

Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

This standard is also available for

inspection at the Office of the Federal

Register, 800 North Capitol Street, NW.,

suite 700, Washington, D.C. This

incorporation by reference was

approved by the Director of the Federal

Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C.

552(a) and 1CFR part 51. These

materials are incorporated by reference

as they exist on the date of approval and

a notice of any change in these materials

will be published in the Federal

Register.

(b) Maintain good ambient storage

conditions for permanent or

unscheduled audiovisual records.

Generally, the temperature should not

exceed 70 degrees Fahrenheit and

relative humidity should be maintained

between 30–40% and not exceed 50%.

Avoid fluctuating temperatures and

humidity. Cooler temperatures and

lower relative humidity are

recommended for the storage of all film,

to prolong the useful life of the film base

and image. Cold temperatures combined

with 30–35% relative humidity are

especially recommended to retard the

fading of color film. Optimal

environmental conditions are stated in

ANSI/NAPM IT9.11–1993, Imaging

Media— Processed Safety Photographic

Films—Storage. If possible store all

permanently scheduled records in these

conditions, and schedule them to be

transferred to the National Archives as

soon as possible.

(c) For the storage of permanent or

unscheduled records, use audiovisual

storage containers or enclosures made of

noncorroding metal, inert plastics,

paper products and other safe materials

recommended and specified in ANSI

standards: ANSI/NAPM IT9.11–1993,

Imaging Media—Processed Safety

Photographic Films—Storage; and ANSI

IT9.2–1991, Imaging Media—

Photographic Processed Films, Plates,

and Papers—Filing Enclosures and

Storage Containers. These standards,

which are incorporated by reference, are

available from the American National

Standards Institute (ANSI), Inc., 11 West

42nd Street, New York, NY 10036.

These standards are also available for

inspection at the Office of the Federal

Register, 800 North Capitol Street, NW.,

suite 700, Washington, D.C. This

incorporation by reference was

approved by the Director of the Federal

Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C.

552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. These

materials are incorporated by reference

as they exist on the date of approval and

a notice of any change in these materials

will be published in the Federal

Register.

(d) Store originals and use copies

(e.g., negatives and prints) separately,

whenever practicable.

(e) Store series of permanent and

unscheduled x-ray films in accordance

with this section, and store series of

temporary x-ray films under conditions

that will ensure their preservation for

their full retention period, in

accordance with ANSI/NAPM IT9.11–

1993, Imaging Media—Processed Safety

Photographic Films—Storage. This

requirement does not apply to x-rays

that are interspersed among paper

records, as in case files.

§ 1232.28 Maintenance and operations.

Agencies must:

(a) Handle audiovisual records in

accordance with commonly accepted

industry practices because of their

extreme vulnerability to damage. For

further information, consult the

American National Standards Institute

(ANSI), Inc., 11 West 42nd Street, New

York, NY 10036; and the Society of

Motion Picture and Television

Engineers, 595 West Hartsdale Avenue,

White Plains, NY 10607.

(b) Use only personnel trained to

perform their audiovisual duties and

responsibilities and ensure that

equipment intended for projection or

playback is in good working order.

(c) Loan permanent or unscheduled

audiovisual records to non-Federal

recipients only in conformance with the

provisions of part 1228 subpart E of this

chapter. Such records may be loaned to

other Federal agencies only if a record

copy is maintained in the agency’s

custody.

(d) Take all steps necessary to prevent

accidental or deliberate alteration or

erasure of audiovisual records.

(e) Ensure that no information

recorded on permanent or unscheduled

magnetic sound or video media is

erased.

(f) If different versions of audiovisual

productions (e.g., short and long

versions or foreign-language versions)

are prepared, keep an unaltered copy of

each version for record purposes.

(g) Maintain the association between

audiovisual records and the finding aids

for them, such as captions and

published and unpublished catalogs,

and production files and similar

documentation created in the course of

audiovisual production.

(h) Maintain disposable audiovisual

records separate from permanent ones

in accordance with General Records

Schedule 21 and a records schedule

approved by NARA for the agency’s

other audiovisual records.

§ 1232.30 Choosing formats.

Agencies must:

(a) When ordering photographic

materials for permanent or unscheduled

records, ensure that still picture

negatives and motion picture preprints

(negatives, masters, etc.) are composed
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 122 / Monday, June 24, 1996 / Rules and Regulations 32339

of polyester bases and are processed in

accordance with industry standards as

specified in ANSI/ISO 543–1990 (ANSI

IT9.6–1991) Photography—

Photographic Films—Specifications for

Safety Film; and, ANSI/NAPM IT9.1–

1992 Imaging Media (Film)—SilverGelatin Type— Specifications for

Stability, which are incorporated by

reference. (Currently, not all motion

picture stocks are available on a

polyester base.) It is particularly

important to ensure that residual

sodium thiosulfate (hypo) on newly

processed black-and-white photographic

film does not exceed .014 grams per

square meter. Require laboratories to

process film in accordance with this

standard. Excessive hypo will shorten

the longevity of film and accelerate

color fading. Process color film in

accordance with the manufacturer’s

recommendations. If using reversal type

processing, request full photographic

reversal; i.e., develop, bleach, expose,

develop, fix, and wash. The standards

cited in this paragraph are available

from the American National Standards

Institute (ANSI), Inc., 11 West 42nd

Street, New York, NY 10036. These

standards are also available for

inspection at the Office of the Federal

Register, 800 North Capitol Street, NW.,

suite 700, Washington, D.C. This

incorporation by reference was

approved by the Director of the Federal

Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C.

552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. These

materials are incorporated by reference

as they exist on the date of approval and

a notice of any change in these materials

be published in the Federal Register.

(b) Refrain from using motion pictures

in a final ‘‘A & B’’ format (two precisely

matched reels designed to be printed

together) for the reproduction of

excerpts or stock footage.

(c) Use only industrial or professional

recording equipment and videotape,

previously unrecorded, for original

copies of permanent or unscheduled

recordings. Limit the use of consumer

formats to distribution or reference

copies or to subjects scheduled for

disposal. Video cassettes in the VHS

format are unsuitable for use as originals

of permanent or unscheduled records

due to their inability to be copied

without significant loss in image

quality.

(d) Record permanent or unscheduled

audio recordings on 1⁄4-inch open-reel

tapes at 3 3⁄4 or 7 1⁄2 inches per second,

full track, using professional unrecorded

polyester splice-free tape stock. Audio

cassettes, including mini-cassettes, are

not sufficiently durable for use as

originals in permanent records or

unscheduled records although they may

be used as reference copies.

§ 1232.32 Disposition.

The disposition of audiovisual

records shall be carried out in the same

manner as that prescribed for other

types of records in part 1228 of this

chapter. For further instructions on the

transfer of permanent audiovisual

records to the National Archives see

§ 1228.184 of this chapter, Audiovisual

Records.
