Records Management

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: NARA is revising these regulations to make administrative 
changes, such as updating office names and organizational codes, 
updating URLs, and updating links to NARA's records management web 
pages, to reflect organizational and contact changes, and revising the 
incorporation by reference language to make it consistent with newer 
regulations and to reflect contact changes.

DATES: This rule is effective on April 30, 2018 without further notice, 
unless we receive adverse written comment that warrants revision by 
April 19, 2018. If we receive such comments, we will publish a timely 
withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by RIN 3095-AB95, by 
email at [email protected], or by mail to the External 
Policy Program Manager; Strategy Division (MP), Suite 4100; National 
Archives and Records Administration; 8601 Adelphi Road; College Park,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulatory Review Information

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action for the purposes 
of E.O. 12866 and a significance determination was requested from 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 a result, this rule is also not subject to deregulatory 
requirements contained in E.O. 13771. 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 updates 
contact, office, and agency online site information to reflect 
organizational changes. This rule also

[[Page 13653]]

does not have any Federalism implications.
    This rule is effective upon publication for good cause as permitted 
by the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3)). NARA believes 
that a public comment period is unnecessary as this rule merely makes 
minor administrative updates to reflect NARA organizational changes.
