Abstract: NARA will permit the public and other Federal agencies to use its official seal(s) and/or logo(s). The first criterion for approval is that NARA must be participating in the event or activity by providing speakers, space, or other similar services (example: NARA co-sponsoring a symposium or conference). The second criterion is that the seal(s) and/or logo(s) must not be used on any article or in any manner that reflects unfavorably on NARA or endorses, either directly or by implication, commercial products or services, or a requestor’s policies or activities. Individuals and organizations wishing to use NARA’s official seal(s) and/or logo(s) must request, in writing, permission from NARA. The purpose of this information collection is to allow NARA to approve only those requests that comply with NARA regulations and to ensure appropriate use of the official NARA seal(s) and logo(s).
