While NARA is considering a change to the fee structure for these documents, the information that has been posted is both premature and somewhat inaccurate. The Records Preservation and Access Committee, a joint endeavor of the National Genealogical Society and the Federation of Genealogical Societies, has contacted NARA officials for clarification. The following is the "official NARA statement" issued in response to our inquiry: *Begin NARA Statement: The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) will be issuing a proposed rule within the next few weeks that will revise fees for reproduction, including the "fixed-fee" orders in the NATF 80 series. The proposed rule will have a 60-day public comment period, during which time we will actively seek the comments of the user commwnity. The proposed rule is presently undergoing internal government review. When it is released for publication in the Federal Register, NARA will notify the national genealogical organizations and post a copy of the proposed rule on its web site. The message will include the exact URL and the address for sending comments. End NARA Statement* The Records Preservation and Access Committee will continue to monitor this proposal, and will post relevant information on the News and Events page on the NGS web site (www.ngsgenealogy.org) and Records Preservation and Access pages of the Federation of Genealogical Societies' Web site (http:www.fgs.org) when it is available. Please feel free to foward this posting to other mail lists on which the original posting may have appeared. ==== OHMUSKIN Mailing List ==== Having a problem changing your email address?
