Barack Obama Presidential Library. These changes will affect all people 
who wish to access records from the Barack Obama Presidential 
administration.

DATES: This rule is effective on March 27, 2017 without further notice,

Regulatory Review Information

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action for the purposes 
of E.O. 12866 and has been reviewed by the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB). It is also not a major rule as defined in 5 U.S.C. 
Chapter 8, Congressional Review of Agency Rulemaking. As required by 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act, we certify that this rule will not have 
a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. It 
simply adds address and contact information for a new NARA facility.
    NARA believes that a public comment period is unnecessary as this 
rule simply adds a new NARA facility, so it meets the good cause 
exception under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.(b)(3)(B)). 
This rule also does not have any Federalism implications.
