Training Policy Handbook
Records of Plans, Activities, and Expenditures
Training law and regulations require agencies to maintain information
concerning the general conduct of agency training activities for internal
management purposes and for the President and Congress to discharge effectively
their respective responsibilities for supervision, control, and review
of these training activities.
Agencies should maintain, in the form and manner that the agency head
considers appropriate, records of the following:
agency training plans (Title 5 CFR §410.302(d));
training activities funded and individual employees trained (including training of Presidential appointees, academic degree training to relieve
retention and recruitment problems, training to place an employee
in another agency, and employees subject to continued service agreements)
(Title 5 CFR §410.701);
payments made for travel, tuition, fees and other necessary training
expenses (Title 5 CFR §410.701);
each contribution, award, or payment made and accepted by a Federal
employee from a non-government source (Title 5 CFR §410.701);
evaluations of the results of training and how well agency training
activities met short and long-range program needs by occupations,
organizations, or other appropriate groups (Title 5 CFR §410.701); and
effectiveness of training assignments made through academic degree training programs (Interim regulations,
68 FR 35265, 6-13-2003).
