SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Administrative corrections are changes to
temporary items on approved records schedules to address errors or
oversights when the records were originally scheduled. The notice
applies only to the changes described; not to other portions of a
schedule. Submitting agencies cannot implement administrative
corrections until the comment period ends and NARA approves the
changes.
This administrative correction should be read in conjunction with
the previously approved records schedules N1-053-06-04, Bureau of
Fiscal Service, Support Records for Public Debt; N1-053-06-05, Bureau
of Fiscal Service, Retail Securities Services; N1-053-06-06, Bureau of
Fiscal Service, Summary Debt Accounting; N1-053-06-07, Bureau of Fiscal
Service, Wholesale Security Services; and N1-053-06-08, Bureau of
Fiscal Service, Government Agency Investment Services. You can find
these schedules on the Records Control Schedule page at <a href="https://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/rcs/schedules/index.html?dir=/departments/department-of-the-treasury/rg-0053">https://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/rcs/schedules/index.html?dir=/departments/department-of-the-treasury/rg-0053</a>.
We are making an administrative correction to the schedules to
clearly indicate that all temporary items on the schedules are media-
neutral items. These schedules were prepared and approved at a time of
transition when media-neutral status was not as clearly noted on
records schedules as it later came to be. We have reviewed the
administrative record and concluded that these schedules were intended
to be media-neutral, and that when they were received and evaluated by
NARA they were understood to be media-neutral. Therefore, we are
modifying the schedules to make this status clear in the body of the
schedules.
Making these schedule items media-neutral means the schedule
instructions and retention periods can be applied to the described
kinds of records regardless of an individual record's medium (for
example, hard-copy, analog, or digital). We will line out all
references to ``hard copy'' that were erroneously included in the
temporary item descriptions, and add a statement on the schedule that
it is a media-neutral schedule. See <a href="https://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/faqs/media-neutral.html">https://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/faqs/media-neutral.html</a> for more information on media-neutral
schedules.
Laurence Brewer,
Chief Records Officer for the U.S. Government.
