[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 126 (Wednesday, July 1, 1998)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 35828-35830] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-17462] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION 36 CFR Parts 1220, 1222, 1228, 1230, 1234, and 1238 RIN 3095-AA85 Technical Amendments to Records Management Regulations AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). ACTION: Final rule; technical amendments. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: NARA is updating organizational titles and addresses in 36 CFR ch. XII, subchapter B, to reflect the current organizations that perform the functions. Since the regulations in 36 CFR ch. XII, subchapter B, were last revised, NARA has reorganized and renamed the offices that have records management responsibilities. Additionally, the offices have been relocated to the Archives II facility in College Park. Updating the titles and addresses will facilitate agency and public correspondence with NARA. EFFECTIVE DATE: July 1, 1998. [[Page 35829]] FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nancy Allard at (301) 713-7360, extension 226. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule is being issued as a final rule without prior notice of proposed rulemaking because under 5 U.S.C. 553 (b)(3)(A) it is exempt from notice-and-comment procedure as it solely concerns matters relating to internal agency organization. NARA finds good cause to issue this rule with an immediate effective date under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) because it is a nonsubstantive rule that only updates organizational titles and addresses. This rule is not a significant regulatory action for the purposes of Executive Order 12866, and has not been reviewed by OMB. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act, it is hereby certified that this rule will not have a significant impact on small entities. For the reasons set forth in the preamble, and under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2104, NARA is amending chapter XII of title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, as follows: PART 1220--FEDERAL RECORDS; GENERAL 1.
