SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Comment Procedures 

We are publishing notice of records 

schedules in which agencies propose to 

dispose of records they no longer need 

to conduct agency business. We invite 

public comments on these records 

schedules, as required by 44 U.S.C. 

3303a(a), and list the schedules at the 

end of this notice by agency and 

subdivision requesting disposition 

authority. 

In addition, this notice lists the 

organizational unit(s) accumulating the 

records or states that the schedule has 

agency-wide applicability. It also 

provides the control number assigned to 

each schedule, which you will need if 

you submit comments on that schedule. 

We have uploaded the records 

schedules and accompanying appraisal 

memoranda to the regulations.gov 

docket for this notice as ‘‘other’’ 

documents. Each records schedule 

contains a full description of the records 

at the file unit level as well as their 

proposed disposition. The appraisal 

memorandum for the schedule includes 

information about the records. 

We will post comments, including 

any personal information and 

attachments, to the public docket 

unchanged. Because comments are 

public, you are responsible for ensuring 

that you do not include any confidential 

or other information that you or a third 

party may not wish to be publicly 

posted. If you want to submit a 

comment with confidential information 

or cannot otherwise use the 

regulations.gov portal, you may contact 

request.schedule@nara.gov for 

instructions on submitting your 

comment. 

We will consider all comments 

submitted by the posted deadline and 

consult as needed with the Federal 

agency seeking the disposition 

authority. After considering comments, 

we may or may not make changes to the 

proposed records schedule. The 

schedule is then sent for final approval 

by the Archivist of the United States. 

After the schedule is approved, we will 

post on regulations.gov a ‘‘Consolidated 

Reply’’ summarizing the comments, 

responding to them, and noting any 

changes we made to the proposed 

schedule. You may elect at 

regulations.gov to receive updates on 

the docket, including an alert when we 

post the Consolidated Reply, whether or 

not you submit a comment. If you have 

a question, you can submit it as a 

comment, and can also submit any 

concerns or comments you would have 

to a possible response to the question. 

We will address these items in 

consolidated replies along with any 

other comments submitted on that 

schedule. 

We will post schedules on our 

website in the Records Control Schedule 

(RCS) Repository, at https://

www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/rcs, 

after the Archivist approves them. The 

RCS contains all schedules approved 

since 1973. 

Background 

Each year, Federal agencies create 

billions of records. To control this 

accumulation, agency records managers 

prepare schedules proposing retention 

periods for records and submit these 

schedules for NARA’s approval. Once 

approved by NARA, records schedules 

provide mandatory instructions on what 

happens to records when no longer 

needed for current Government 

business. The records schedules 

authorize agencies to preserve records of 

continuing value in the National 

Archives or to destroy, after a specified 

period, records lacking continuing 

administrative, legal, research, or other 

value. 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. 

Agencies may not destroy Federal 

records without the approval of the 

Archivist of the United States. The 

Archivist grants this approval only after 

thorough consideration of the records’ 

administrative use by the agency of 

origin, the rights of the Government and 

of private people directly affected by the 

Government’s activities, and whether or 

not the records have historical or other 

value. Public review and comment on 

these records schedules is part of the 

Archivist’s consideration process.
