? 101-11.000 Scope of part.
This part prescribes policies and pro-
mulgates standards, procedures, and
techniques for the economical and effi-
cient management of records of Federal
agencies.
Subpart 101-11.1-Federal Records;
General
? 101-11.101 General provisions.
? 101-11.101-1 Authority.
The regulations in this subpart are is-
sued pursuant to the authority contained
in the Act of July 7, 1943, as amended (44
U.S.C. 366-376, 378-380), hereinafter re-
ferred to as the Records Disposal Act,
and the records provisions of the Federal
Property and Administrative Services Act
of 1949, as amended (44 U.S.C. 391-396,
397-401).
? 101-11.101-2 Applicability.
The regulations in this subpart apply
to all Federal agencies to the extent pro-
vided in the Acts cited in ? 101-11.101-1,
except that the disposal of court records
shall be in accordance with the provi-
sions of 28 U.S.C. 457. Section 3 of the
Federal Property and Administrative
Services Act (40 U.S.C. 472) defines "Fed-
eral agency" as "any executive agency or
any establishment in the legislative or
Judicial branch of the Government (ex-
cept the Senate, House of Representa-
tives, and the Architect of the Capitol and
any activities under his direction)." The
same section defines "executive agency"
as "any executive department or inde-
pendent establishment in the executive
branch of the Government, including
any wholly owned Government corpora-
tion."
? 101-11.101-3 Records defined.
(a) Section 1 of the Records Disposal
Act (44 U.S.C. 366) defines the term
"records," as applied to the disposition
of records, to include "all books, papers,
maps, photographs, or other documen-
tary materials, regardless of physical
form or characteristics, made or received
by any agency of the United States Gov-
ernment in pursuance of Federal law or
in connection with the transaction of
public business and preserved or appro-
priate for preservation by that agency
or its legitimate successor as evidence
of the organization, functions, policies,
decisions, procedures, operations, or
other activities of the Government or
because of the informational value of
data contained therein. Library and
museum material made or acquired and
preserved solely for reference or exhibi-
tion purposes, extra copies of documents
preserved only for convenience of refer-
ence, and stocks of publications and of
processed documents are not included
within the definition of the word 'rec-
ords' * * ?."
(b) This definition also applies to the
term "records" when used in the Federal
Records Act of 1950, by virtue of section
511(a) thereof (44 U.S.C. 41(a)). The
Federal Records Act of 1950 was enacted
as Title V (sections 501-511) of the Fed-
eral Property and Administrative Serv-
ices Act of 1949, as amended (44 U.S.C.
391-396,397-401).
? 101-11.101-4 Reports to the Presi-
dent and the Congress.
Section 508(b) of the Federal Records
Act of 1950 (44 U.S.C. 398(b)) provides:
"The Administrator shall, whenever he
finds that any provisions of this title
have been or are being violated, inform
in writing the head of the agency con-
cerned of such violations and make rec-
ommendations regarding means of cor-
recting them. Unless corrective meas-
ures satisfactory to the Administrator are
inaugurated within a reasonable time,
the Administrator shall submit a written
report thereon to the President and the
Congress."
? 101-11.102 Agency records manage.
ment programs.
? 101-11.102-1 Authority.

tablish and maintain an active, continu-
ing program for the economical and
efficient management of the records of
the agency.

things, provide for:

Subpart 101-11.2--Creation of
Records
? 101-11.200 Scope of subpart.
(a) Sections 505 and 506 of the Fed-
eral Records Act of 1950 (44 U.S.C. 395,
396) place upon the Administrator of
General Services and the heads of Fed-
eral agencies responsibility for the de-
velopment and implementation of stand-
ards and programs for the economical
and efficient management of Federal rec-
ords. Specifically, the Act requires that
.each Federal agency provide for effective
controls over the creation of records, in-
cluding the making of records contain-
ing adequate and proper documentation
of agency administration and operations.
(b) Effective controls over records cre-
ation must encompass all types of records
at all levels of organization, central office
and field. Specifically, there are four
types of records which require continu-
ing attention. These types-correspond-
ence, reports, forms, and directives-are
common to all agencies. Generally these
records are created on sheets of paper,
but they may also appear on punch cards.
film, tape, and other media.
? 101-11.201 General provisions.
? 101-11.201-1 Agency action.
(a) The head of each Federal agency,
in meeting the requirements of section
506 of the Federal Records Act of 1950
for controlling the creation of records, is
expected to observe the program respon-
sibilities and standards set forth in this
Subpart 101-11.2. These responsibilities
and standards are basic to the Govern-
ment-wide control of records creation;
however, the application of the program
responsibilities by individual agencies
may be influenced by factors such as
agency size, organization, mission, and
paperwork activity.
(b) Each Federal agency is expected
to:
(1) Assign to an office(s) of the
agency the responsibility for the de-
velopment and implementation of
agencywide management programs for
correspondence, reports, forms, ADP,
records, and directives and for adequate
and proper documentation. When or-
ganization arrangement, size, or com-
plexity requires, actual control may be
established at bureau, service, or office
level. Programs at these control points
will operate within the framework of the
overall agency plan.
(2) Issue a directive(s) establishing
program objectives, responsibilities, and
authorities. A copy of each directive
issued (and subsequent amendments or
supplements) should be readily avail-
able for inspection by the National Ar-
chives and Records Service, GSA.

ords Act of 1950 (44 U.S.C. 395(a)) vests
in the Administrator of General Services
responsibility for developing and issuing
standards to improve the management
of records.
(b) Section 506(a) of the Federal Rec-
ords Act of 1950 (44 U.S.C. 396(a)) re-,
quires that the head of each Federal
agency "shall cause to be made and pre-
served records containing adequate and
proper documentation of the organiza-
tion, functions, policies, decisions, pro-
cedures, and essential transactions of the
agency and designed to furnish the in-
formation necessary to protect the legal
and financial rights of the Government
and of persons directly affected by the
agency's activities."
? 101-11.202-2 Documentation stand-
ards.
To insure that adequate and proper
records are made and preserved in the
Federal Government, the following docu-
mentation standards will apply in each
Federal agency:
(a) The record of the transaction of
public business by any Federal official
or employee is to be complete to the ex-
tent required (1) to facilitate informed
action by the incumbents and their suc-
cessors in office; (2) to make possible a
proper scrutiny by the Congress, other
duly authorized agencies of the Govern-
ment, and other persons properly and
directly concerned, of the manner in
which; public business has been dis-;

legal, and other rights of the Govern-
ment and of persons affected by the
Government's actions.
(b) With particular regard to the for-
mulation and execution of basic Govern-
ment policy, Federal officials are respon-
sible for incorporating in the records of
their agencies all essential information
on their major actions. Significant de-
cisions and commitments reached orally
(person to.person, by telephone, or in
conference) should be reduced to writing
and included in the record. Minutes
should be taken at important board, com-
mittee, and staff meetings, and these,
together with a copy of the agenda and
all documents considered at or resulting
from such meetings, should be made a
part of the record.
(c) The programs, policies, and pro-
cedures of Federal agencies are to be
adequately documented in appropriate
directives. A record copy of each such
directive (including those superseded)
will be maintained as a part of the of-
ficial files.
(d) Papers of a private or nonofficial
character which pertain only to an indi-
vidual's personal affairs that are kept in
the office of a Federal official will be
clearly designated by him as nonofficial
and will at all times be filed separately
from the official records of his office. In
cases where matters requiring the trans-
action of official business are received in
private personal correspondence, the
portion of such correspondence that per-
tains to official business will be extracted
and made a part of the official files (see

The primary objectives of reports
management are to provide agency man-
agement officials with needed informa-
tion at times and places, and in the for-
mat most useful to them, and to furnish
this information as economically and
efficiently as possible. The reports man-
agement function is also concerned with
the review, approval, and clearance with
the Bureau of the Budget of reporting
plans and forms, as required by the Fed-
eral Reports Act (Bureau of the Budget
Circular No. A-40, Revised, May 25,
1962).
? 101-11.207-2 Reports defined.
(a) A report is data or information,
generally summarized, transmitted for
use in determining policy; planning, con-
trolling, and evaluating operations and
performance; and preparing other re-
ports. The data or information may be
in narrative, statistical, graphic, or other
form.
(b) Most reports of an agency can be
classified as belonging to one of several
well defined families or groups of re-
ports. Each group of related reports is
generally the product of an Informa-
tion system serving a specific adminis-
trative or operational area, such as
personnel, budget, or procurement.
Consequently, the analysis of reports on
a systems basis provides the best means
of establishing reports relationships and
evaluating information need and
adequacy.
(c) Certain categories of reports nor-
mally are exempted from review and
clearance in an agency reports manage-
ment program. These usually include:
inspection and audit reports; security
classified documents; copies of operat-
ing documents such as Individual supply
and procurement transactions; and in-
formation presentations such as research
findings, technical summaries, special
studies, and surveys. Reports to be ex-
empted should be determined by an anal-
ysis of agency information requirements.
(d) Reports to and from other agen-
cies, as well as those for internal man-
agement, are included in agency review
and clearance procedures.

The objectives of forms management
are to increase the usefulness of forms
through proper design and accurate us-
ing procedures; to reduce costs incident
to filling in, using, and filing forms; and
to achieve savings in designing, printing,
storing, and distributing forms.
? 101-11.208-2 Forms defined.
A form is any document, including let-
ters, post cards, and memorandums,
printed or otherwise reproduced with
space for filling in information, descrip-
tive material, or addresses. Certain
printed items without fill-in space, such
as contract provisions, instruction sheets,
notices, tags, labels, and posters, may be
considered as forms when it is advan-
tageous to identify and control them as
forms for purposes of reference, printing,
stocking, distribution, and use with other
forms.

The objective of mail management is
to provide rapid handling and accurate
delivery of mail throughout the agency
at minimum cost. To do this processing
steps are kept to a necessary minimum;
sound principles of work flow are ap-
plied; modern equipment, supplies, and
devices are used; and, in general, opera-
tions are kept as simple as possible, so
as to increase efficiency.
? 101-11.304-2 Mail defined.
Mail consists of letters, telecommuni-
cations, memorandums, post cards, doc-
uments, packages, publications, and
other communications received for dis-
tribution or dispatch.
? 101-11.304-3 Program regiurements.
(a) Each Federal agency, in provid-
ing for effective controls over the crea-
tion of records, is expected to establish
an appropriate program for the manage-
ment of agency mail (1101-X11.301-2).
The program will:
(1) Establish and implement stand-
ards and procedures for the receipt, de-
livery, collection, and dispatch of mail.
(2) Implement the mail management
standards set forth in the GSA Records
Management Handbook, Agency Mail
Operations.

(b) The formulation of policy as to
the disposition of each type or series of
records and its statement in the form of
a records control schedule.
(c) The application of the records
control schedule to effect the elimination
or removal of records.
? 101-11.401-3 Formulation of records
control schedules.
The following steps shall be taken in
the development of records control
schedules:
. (a) Each Federal agency shall com-
pile a records control schedule for all
major groups of records in its custody
having importance in terms of content,
bulk, or space and equipment occupied.
For all Federal agencies in existence on
June 30, 1964 (other than'the judiciary,
for which special arrangements will be
made), such records control schedules
shall be completed by June 30, 1965. For
all Federal agencies created after June
30, 1964, such schedules shall be com-
pleted within one year after the creation
of the agency.
(b) Schedules shall clearly identify
and describe the series of records cov-
ered, and shall contain instructions that,
when approved, can be readily applied.
Schedules must be readily adaptable to
use along organizational lines, so that
each office will have standing instruc-
tions for the disposition of records in its
custody.
(c) All schedules shall take into ac-
count the actual filing arrangements in
existence, so that disposition of records
can be physically accomplished in the
largest blocks possible.
(d) Nonrecord materials, such as ex-
tra copies of documents preserved for,
convenience of reference, stocks of proc-
essed documents, preliminary work-
sheets, and similar papers that need not
be made a matter of record, shall not be
incorporated in the official files of the
agency. To the maximum extent pos-
sible, material not required for record
purposes shall be disposed of; it should
not be sent to file. In cases where tran-
sitory files of such materials are estab-
lished and maintained in filing equip-
ment, such files shall be controlled by
means of instructions in the records
control schedule.
(e) Schedules shall be reviewed at
least once annually to effect changes
necessary to maintain their current
status.
? 101-11.401-4 Provisions of records
control schedules.
Records control schedules shall pro-
vide for:
(a) The disposal after minimum re-
tention periods of those records not hav-
ing sufficient value to justify their fur-
ther retention. Procedures for obtaining
disposal authorization are prescribed in
? ? 101-11.404 and 101-11.406.
(b) The removal to a Federal Records
Center (or to an agency records center
approved under the provisions of ? 101-
11.412) of those records which cannot be
disposed of immediately but which need
not be maintained in office space and
equipment. Such records will be main-
tained by the records center pending
their transfer or disposal.
(c) The retention as current records
in office space. and equipment of the min-
imum volume of records consistent with
efficient operation.
? 101-11.401-5 Application of records
control schedules.
The head of each Federal agency shall
take necessary action to obtain the ap-
plication of records control schedules to
provide for the maximum economy of
space, equipment, and personnel. Two
copies of each directive or other issu-
ance (including the text of schedules as
issued) affecting the agency's records
disposition program at the division or
higher organizational level shall be
transmitted to the National Archives and
Records Service upon its promulgation.

(c) Section 4 of the Records Disposal
Act (44 U.S.C. 369) authorizes the Ad-
ministrator of General Services to sub-
mit to the Congress schedules proposing
the disposal, after the lapse of specified
periods of time, of records of a specified
form or character common to several or
all agencies that either have accumulated
or may accumulate In such agencies and
that apparently will not, after the lapse
of the periods specified, have sufficient
administrative, legal, research, or other
value to warrant their further preserva-
tion by the United States Government.
(For other schedules for submission to
the Congress, see ? 101-11.406.)
(d) These General Records Schedules,
when reported upon favorably by the
Joint Committee on Disposition of Ex-
ecutive Papers, constitute authority to

eral Records Act of 1950 (44 U.S.C. 395
M), in cases of emergency or when it is
in the interest of economy, the head of
a Federal agency may retain records au-
thorized by Congress for disposal after
the specified retention period. When
records are so retained, a copy of the di-
rective directing such retention shall
be furnished to the Administrator and
such records shall be disposed of as soon
as is administratively practicable.
? 101-11.406-8 Withdrawal of disposal
authority.
In cases of emergency or when it is
in the interest of efficiency of Govern-
ment operations, GSA pursuant to sec-
tion 505(f) of the Federal Records Act of
1950 (44 U.S.C. 395(f)), will withdraw
disposal authorizations contained in dis-
posal schedules approved by the Con-
gress. Such withdrawal may apply to
particular items on schedules submitted
by agencies, or may apply to all existing
authorizations for the disposal of a spec-
ified type of record obtained by any or
all agencies of the Government. If the
withdrawal is applicable to only one
agency, that agency will be notified of
such action by letter signed by the Ar-
chivist of the United States; if applicable
to more than one agency, notification
may be by GSA Bulletin issued and signed
by the Archivist of the United States.
? 101-11.406-9 Supersession of dis-
posal authority.
Disposal authorizations contained in
disposal schedules approved by the Con-
gress are automatically superseded by
Congressional approval of a later sched-
ule applicable to the same records, unless
the later schedule specifically provides
that both the earlier and later schedules
shall be applicable, at the agency's dis-
cretion.

101-11.407-2 Menaces to human
health or life or to property.
(a) Section 10 of the Records Dis-
posal Act (44 U.S.C. 375) author-
izes disposal whenever it is determined
that records constitute a continuing
menace to human health or life or to
property. Whenever the head of an
agency has determined that records
constitute such a menace, he shall notify
the National Archives and Records Serv-
ice, specifying the nature of the records,
their location and quantity, and the na-
ture of the menace. If the National
Archives and Records Service concurs in
the determination, the immediate re-
moval of the menace by the destruction
of the records or by other appropriate
means will be directed. However, if
the determination is with respect to still
or motion-picture film on nitrocellulose
base that has deteriorated to the extent
described in paragraph (b) of this sec-
tion, the head of the agency may follow
the procedures therein provided.
(b) Whenever any radar scope, aerial,
or other still or motion picture film on
nitrocellulose base has deteriorated to
the extent that it is soft, is emitting a
noxious odor,. contains gas bubbles, or
has retrograded into ' an acrid powder,
and the head of the agency having cus-
tody of it determines that it constitutes
a menace to human health or life or to
property, he may cause such menace to
be eliminated immediately by-
(1) Arranging for its destruction in a
manner that will salvage its silver con-
tent;
(2) Burning, in the event the quan-
tity is not sufficiently large to justify the
salvaging of its silver content; or
(3) Other appropriate methods in
the event that the methods provided in
subparagraph (1) or (2) of this para-
graph are not feasible.
(c) Such films should be removed from
inhabited buildings as soon as possible..
(d) Those to be burned should be sub-
merged in water-filled drums and con-
veyed to a remote spot, approved by fire
authorities, for burning. Preferably,
only one reel should be burned at a time,
but in no event should more than 25
pounds be burned at the same time. The
rapid production of gases by burning
film makes it extremely dangerous, par-
ticularly if burned in a furnace or other
confined space. Within thirty days after
the destruction of the film as provided in
this section, the head of the agency who
directed its destruction shall submit a
written statement to the National
Archives and Records Service describing
the film and showing when, where, and
in what manner the destruction was ac-
complished.
? 101-11.407-3 State of war or threat.
ened war.
(a) Section 11 of the Records Dis-
posal Act (44 U.S.C. 376) authorizes the
destruction of records outside the ter-
ritorial limits of the continental United
States whenever, during the existence of
a state of war between the United States
and any other nation or when hostile ac-
tion by a foreign power appears immi-
nent, the head of the agency that has
custody of the records determines that
their retention would be prejudicial to
the interests of the United States, or that
they occupy space urgently needed for
military purposes and are without suffici-
ent value to warrant continued preserva-
tion.
(b) Within 6 months after the dis-
posal of any records under this authori-
zation, a written statement describing
the character of the records and show-
ing when and where the disposal was
accomplished shall be submitted to the
National Archives and Records Service
by the agency official who directed the
disposal.
? 101-11.408 Methods of disposal.
? 101-11.408-1 Authority.
Under the provisions of section 15 of
the Records Disposal Act (44 U.S.C.
380), Federal agencies are required to
follow regulations issued by the Adminis-
trator of General Services governing the
methods for use in disposing of records.
Only the methods set forth in this ? 101-
11.408 shall be used.

normally be sold as wastepaper. If the
records are security classified, their dis-
posal is governed by the provisions of
Executive Order 10501 of November 5,
1953 (3 CFR) as amended. If the
records are privileged, that is, if laws or
regulations forbid their use by the pub-
lic, the wastepaper contractor shall be
required to pulp, macerate, or shred
them. The contracting offier shall name
a Federal employee to witness the dis-

lished procedures for the sale of surplus
personal property.
? 101-11.408-3 Donation for preserva-
tion and use.

be served thereby, a Federal agency may,
at its discretion, transfer records author-
ized for disposal to an eligible govern-
ment (including a foreign government),
organization, institution, corporation, or
person that has made application for
them, provided, (1) the applicant agrees
not to sell the records as records or docu-

motion pictures, deemed to have suffi-
cient value to warrant transfer to the
National Archives for permanent preser-
vation, will obtain from the National
Archives and Records Service agreement
to accession the motion pictures prior to
converting the nitrate film to safety ace-
tate film. Normally, the following shall
be considered the minimum number of
copies of motion picture film necessary
for security, duplication, and use by the
National Archives: The negative (origi-
nal or duplicate) that most nearly rep-
resents the action originally photo-
graphed in pictures of actual events, or
that best represents the edited produc-
tion of a picture for which action is
staged, with a master positive print and
one "use" or projection print. In most
cases these will be the negative after lab-
oratory cutting is done, or the composite
negative of sound film, the master fine-
grain positive print, and one other print.
(b) Still photographs. A negative
and a captioned print (whether on film,
glass, paper, or other medium) of each
still photographic image are necessary
for security, duplication, and use by the
National Archives, and such copies,
when available, shall be included in col-
lections of still photographs offered for
transfer.
(c) Sound recordings. The following
copies, when available, shall be included
in collections of sound recordings offered
for transfer to the National Archives:
(1) For conventional disc recordings,
the matrix or stamper of each sound re-
records when no longer needed for pur-
poses of current administration will be
offered for appraisal and, if accepted, for
direct transfer to the National Archives.
(a) Manuscript maps; printed and
processed maps on which manuscript
changes, additions, or annotations have
been made for record purposes, or which
bear manuscript signatures to indicate
official approval; single printed or proc-
essed maps that have been attached to
or interfiled with other documents of a
record character or in any way made an
integral part of a record.
(b) Master sets of printed or proc-
essed maps in the custody of the agency
by which they were issued. Such master
sets should be kept segregated from the
stock of maps held for distribution and
from maps received from other agencies.
A master set should include one copy of
each edition of a printed or processed
map issued.
(c) Index maps, card indexes, lists,
catalogs, or other finding aids that may
be helpful in using the cartographic rec-
ords transferred.
(d) Preliminary or intermediate ma-
terials such as manuscript field note-
books of surveys, triangulation and other
computations, "fair drawings" for indi-
vidual color plates, and aerial photo-
graphs for mapping purposes.
