Destruction at Federal Records Centers
The Washington
National Records Center (WNRC) will destroy eligible federal records
scheduled for disposal and stored at the facility. Because your agency
has legal custody of the records while they are stored at the federal
records center (FRC), written concurrence of your agency is required.
The WNRC notifies agencies of records pending destruction by sending
the National
Archives and Records Administration Form 13001 (NA Form 13001), Eligibility
for Disposal, to the NIH
Records Management Officer (RMO) within 90 days of the scheduled
disposal date cited on the Standard
Form 135 (SF-135), Records Transmittal and Receipt. The NIH
RMO will send this notice of intent to destroy to your office through
the IC
Records Liaison. The IC Records Liaison is responsible for completing
the form and returning it to the NIH RMO. The NIH RMO will return the
completed form to the WNRC, which will destroy the records on the scheduled
disposal date.
The destruction of records on the authorized disposal date is required
by law unless your office identifies a programmatic or administrative
need for the records, or the records are subject to audits
or records freezes. In either case, the justification for continued
retention and the estimated duration of the continued retention of the
records should be stated on the form and returned to the NIH RMO.
