COST OF MILITARY
RECORDS GOING UP
(NARA Statement)
By Jack Brissee Chair
NGS/FGS Records Preservation and
Access Comm.(posted on NGS web site)
There have been postings on a number of
mail lists recently about an increase in the fees
the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA) charges for copies of
compiled military service records and pension
records. 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
community.
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.
DGS will also monitor these sites and
publish the latest information for our members.DGS Newsletter
