Title 36 - Parks, Forests, and Public Property
This part covers the standards and procedures for using micrographic technology to create, use, store, inspect, retrieve, preserve, and dispose of Federal records. 44 U.S.C. chapters 29 and 33, authorize the Archivist of the United States to: (a) Establish standards for copying records by photographic and microphotographic means; (b) Establish standards for the creation, storage, use, and disposition of microform records in Federal agencies; and (c) Provide centralized microfilming services for Federal agencies. (a) General. The following publications are hereby incorporated by reference into Part 1230. They are available from the issuing organizations at the addresses listed in this section. They may also be examined at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202–741–6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal_regulations/ibr_locations.php. This incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR Part 51. These materials are incorporated as they exist on the date of approval, and a notice of any change in these materials will be published in the (b) American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and International (ISO) standards. ANSI standards cited in this part are available from the American National Standards Institute, 25 West 43rd St., 4th Floor, New York, NY 10036.

A photographic film that meets the standards described in §1230.14 and that is suitable for the preservation of permanent records when stored in accordance with §1230.20(a). Such film must conform to film designated as LE 500 in ANSI/NAPM IT9.1–1996. Background density. The opacity of the area of the microform not containing information. Computer-assisted retrieval (CAR) system. A records storage and retrieval system, normally microfilm-based, that uses a computer for indexing, automatic markings such as blips or bar codes for identification, and automatic devices for reading those markings and, in some applications, for transporting the film for viewing. Computer Output Microfilm (COM). Microfilm containing data converted and recorded from a computer. Facility. An area used exclusively to make or copy microforms. Microfilm. (1)Raw (unexposed and unprocessed) fine-grain, high resolution photographic film with characteristics that make it suitable for use in micrographics; (2) The process of recording microimages on film; or (3) A fine-grain, high resolution photographic film containing microimages. Microform. Any form containing microimages. Microimage. A document such as a page of text or a drawing that is too small to be read without magnification. Permanent record. Permanent record has the meaning specified in §1220.14 of this chapter. Records storage facility. Records storage facility has the meaning specified in §1220.14 of this chapter. Temporary record. Temporary record has the meaning specified in §1220.14 of this chapter. Unscheduled record. Unscheduled record has the meaning specified in §1220.14 of this chapter. Use or work copies. Duplicates of original film made to be used for reference or for duplication on a recurring or large-scale basis. These are not preservation master copies, which must be stored unused as specified in §1230.20.
