The National Archives and Records Administration published a proposed rule beginning on page 24164 in the April 25, 2000, Federal Register to revise its fee schedule for reproduction of records in its custody. A copy of the proposed rule will be posted on NARA's web site later today at www.nara.gov/nara/fees-pro.html

The proposed rule includes proposed changes to fees for self-service copying and the "fixed-fee" orders for certain genealogical records, including military service, pension, census, and passenger arrival records. Please read the proposed rule for further details.
