Cost of Military Records Going Up (NARA Statement)
By Jack Brissee Chair, NGS/FGS Records Preservation and Access Committee
There have been postings on a number ofmail 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 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.
