Comment on Records Schedule Notices
NARA publishes notices in the Federal Register of proposed Federal agency records schedules that are available for public comment before NARA approves the schedule.
Once approved by NARA, records schedules provide mandatory instructions on what happens to records when they are no longer needed for current Government business.
The schedules 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.
NARA invites the public to request copies of the schedules and NARA appraisal
memorandums on those schedules, and to submit comments on them.
