NARA publishes proposed rule - Public availability and use: Researcher identification cards



The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is proposing to revise the general regulations concerning availability of records and donated historical materials to change the time period researcher identification cards are valid. NARA proposes to 
reduce the valid time period to increase NARA's ability to obtain accurate address and telephone information. This will allow NARA to contact researchers if necessary and will ensure better protection of NARA's holdings, buildings, personnel, and the public. This proposed rule will affect individuals who do research in archival materials at NARA facilities.

The proposed rule is in the July 10, 2002 Federal Register at page 45683.  Comments are due on September 9, 2002.
