Summary

Authorizes appropriations for the National Historical Publications and Records Commission for FY2010-FY2014. Amends the Independent Agencies Appropriations Act, 2000 with respect to the Federal National and Regional Records Center Revolving Fund. Authorizes the Archivist of the United States to determine and (as under current law) retain an amount of the Fund's total income as an operating reserve or for the replacement or acquisition of capital equipment and other support systems of the National Archives and Records Administration. (Currently the amount retained for these purposes may not exceed 4%.) Repeals the 4% limitation on the excess of amounts remaining in the Fund at the close of each fiscal year that must be returned to the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts. Requires return to the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts, instead, any unobligated and unexpended balances in the Fund that the Archivist determines to be in excess of those needed for capital equipment or a reasonable operating reserve. Amends the Presidential Historical Records Preservation Act of 2008 to shift from the Commission to the Archivist the authority to make grants for establishment of state and local databases for records of servitude, emancipation, and post-civil war reconstruction. Requires the Archivist to consider Commission advice and recommendations before making such a grant.
