NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS 

ADMINISTRATION 

[NARA–2018–001] 

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 agencies no longer need them for 

current Government business. The 

records schedules 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 in the Federal Register 

for records schedules in which agencies 

propose to destroy records they no 

longer need to conduct agency business. 

NARA invites public comments on such 

records schedules. 

DATES: NARA must receive requests for 

copies in writing by November 17, 2017. 

Once NARA finishes appraising 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 to you 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 Appraisal 

and Agency Assistance (ACRA) using 

one of the following means: 

Mail: NARA (ACRA); 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 that 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 Appraisal and Agency 

Assistance (ACRA); 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: NARA 

publishes notice in the Federal Register 

for records schedules they no longer 

need to conduct agency business. NARA 

invites public comments on such 

records schedules, as required by 44 

U.S.C. 3303a(a). 

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 records retention periods 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 agency to dispose 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 creates or maintains the 

records. Items included in schedules 

submitted to NARA on or after 

December 17, 2007, are media neutral 

unless the item is expressly limited to 

a specific medium. (See 36 CFR 

1225.12(e).) 

Agencies may not destroy Federal 

records without Archivist of the United 

States’ approval. The Archivist approves 

destruction only after thoroughly 

considering 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 notes that 

the schedule has agency-wide 

applicability when schedules 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 also 

includes information about the records. 

You may request additional information 

about the disposition process at the 

addresses above.

Attachment 

Agreement State Program Policy Statement 

A. Purpose 

The purpose of this policy statement for 

the Agreement State Program is to describe 

the respective roles and responsibilities of 

the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

(NRC) and Agreement States in the 

administration of programs carried out under 

Section 274 of the Atomic Energy Act of 

1954, as amended (AEA).1 Section 274 

provides broad authority for the NRC to 

establish a unique Federal and State 

relationship in the administration of 

regulatory programs for the protection of 

public health and safety in the industrial, 

medical, commercial, and research uses of 

agreement material. This policy statement 

supersedes the September 1997 ‘‘Policy 

Statement on Adequacy and Compatibility of 

Agreement State Programs’’ and ‘‘Statement 

of Principles and Policy for the Agreement 

State Program.’’ 

This policy statement addresses the 

Federal-State interaction under the AEA to 

(1) establish and maintain agreements with 

States under Subsection 274b. that provide 

for discontinuance by the NRC, and the 

assumption by the State, of responsibility for 

administration of a regulatory program for 

the safe use of agreement material; (2) ensure 

that post-agreement interactions between the 

NRC and Agreement State radiation control 

programs are coordinated; and (3) ensure 

Agreement States provide adequate 

protection of public health and safety and 

maintain programs that are compatible with 

the NRC’s regulatory program. 

Although not defined in the AEA, the 

National Materials Program (NMP) is a term 

used to describe the broad collective effort 

within which both the NRC and the 

Agreement States function in carrying out 

their respective regulatory programs for 

agreement material. The vision of the NMP 

is to provide a coherent national system for 

the regulation of agreement material with the 

goal of protecting public health and safety 

through compatible regulatory programs. 

Through the NMP, the NRC and Agreement 

States function as regulatory partners. 

B. Background 

This policy statement is intended solely as 

guidance for the NRC and the Agreement 

States in the implementation of the 

Agreement State Program. This policy 

statement does not itself impose legally 

binding requirements on the Agreement 

States. In addition, nothing in this policy
