Our agency has records it would like dispose, but we have discovered records that are not listed on the records retention schedule(s). What is the procedure for disposal?
The first step is to contact the Bureau of Records Management and speak with at Records Analyst (visit our Staff Webpage to find a particular Records Analyst to speak with). The solution may be as simple as matching up your records with those on your agency’s schedule that may have different titles, but serve the same function. Another option the Analyst might suggest is to identify a record series for another agency that serves the same function and incorporating that series into your current schedule. If either of these do not solve the problem, your agency may end up wholly creating a new records series for your agency’s records retention schedule.
