SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year 

Federal agencies create billions of 

records on paper, film, magnetic tape, 

and other media. To control this 

accumulation, agency records managers 

prepare schedules proposing retention 

periods for records and submit these 

schedules for NARA’s approval, using 

the Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for 

Records Disposition Authority. These 

schedules provide for the timely transfer 

into the National Archives of 

historically valuable records and 

authorize the disposal of all other 

records after the agency no longer needs 

them to conduct its business. Some 

schedules are comprehensive and cover 

all the records of an agency or one of its 

major subdivisions. Most schedules, 

however, cover records of only one 

office or program or a few series of 

records. Many of these update 

previously approved schedules, and 

some include records proposed as 

permanent. 

No Federal records are authorized for 

destruction without the approval of the 

Archivist of the United States. This 

approval is granted only after a 

thorough consideration of their 

administrative use by the agency of 

origin, the rights of the Government and 

of private persons directly affected by 

the Government’s activities, and 

whether or not they have historical or 

other value.

Besides identifying the Federal 

agencies and any subdivisions 

requesting disposition authority, this 

public notice lists the organizational 

unit(s) accumulating the records or 

indicates agency-wide applicability in 

the case of schedules that cover records 

that may be accumulated throughout an 

agency. This notice provides the control 

number assigned to each schedule, the 

total number of schedule items, and the 

number of temporary items (the records 

proposed for destruction). It also 

includes a brief description of the 

temporary records. The records 

schedule itself contains a full 

description of the records at the file unit 

level as well as their disposition. If 

NARA staff has prepared an appraisal 

memorandum for the schedule, it too 

includes information about the records. 

Further information about the 

disposition process is available on 

request. 

Schedules Pending 

1. National Archives and Records 

Administration, Government-wide (N1–

GRS–05–1, 16 items, 15 temporary 

items). Revision to General Records 

Schedule 20, Items 2, 3, and 11. This 

revision expands the coverage of Item 2, 

input/source records, so it includes hard 

copy documents, such as 

correspondence, memorandums, and 

reports, that have been scanned into an 

electronic recordkeeping system. Item 3, 

electronic versions of previously 

scheduled records, has been expanded 

to provide disposal authority for the 

electronic versions of most temporary 

records that have NARA-approved 

retention periods that are less than 

twenty years. (Agencies must submit 

schedules to NARA for electronic 

versions of most records with NARAapproved retention periods of twenty 

years or more.) This schedule also 

revises Item 11, documentation, so that 

it provides for the permanent retention 

of the documentation associated with 

electronic records that are approved for 

permanent retention.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS 

ADMINISTRATION 

Records Schedules; Availability and 

Request for Comments

AGENCY: National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice of availability of 

proposed records schedules; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: The National Archives and 

Records Administration (NARA) 

publishes notice at least once monthly 

of certain Federal agency requests for 

records disposition authority (records 

schedules). Once approved by NARA, 

records schedules provide mandatory 

instructions on what happens to records 

when no longer needed for current 

Government business. They authorize 

the preservation of records of 

continuing value in the National 

Archives of the United States and the 

destruction, after a specified period, of 

records lacking administrative, legal, 

research, or other value. Notice is 

published for records schedules in 

which agencies propose to destroy 

records not previously authorized for 

disposal or reduce the retention period 

of records already authorized for 

disposal. NARA invites public 

comments on such records schedules, as 

required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).

DATES: Requests for copies must be 

received in writing on or before January 

3, 2005. Once the appraisal of the 

records is completed, NARA will send 

a copy of the schedule. NARA staff 

usually prepare appraisal 

memorandums that contain additional 

information concerning the records 

covered by a proposed schedule. These, 

too, may be requested and will be 

provided once the appraisal is 

completed. Requesters will be given 30 

days to submit comments.

ADDRESSES: You may request a copy of 

any records schedule identified in this 

notice by contacting the Life Cycle 

Management Division (NWML) using 

one of the following means: 

Mail: NARA (NWML), 8601 Adelphi 

Road, College Park, MD 20740–6001. 

E-mail: records.mgt@nara.gov.

FAX: 301–837–3698. 

Requesters must cite the control 

number, which appears in parentheses 

after the name of the agency which 

submitted the schedule, and must 

provide a mailing address. Those who 

desire appraisal reports should so 

indicate in their request.
