The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is proposing a
revision to the current NARA regulations on Researcher Identification
Cards.  The proposed rule will require researchers using original
records, NARA microfilm, and public use computers at the National
Archives Building in Washington, DC, to obtain a researcher
identification card. Researchers at regional archives are also required
to obtain a researcher identification card when there is no separate
research room for the use of microfilm and public access computers. The
proposed rule also updates our regulations to reflect changes in
available technology and research room practices, such as abolishing the
three-hour time limit for using microfilm readers.

The proposed rule is available at
http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/E9-23225.htm 

Comments are due:  November 24, 2009
