What are records retention and disposition schedules?
Records retention and disposition schedules are documents that contain descriptions of the record series, or kinds of records produced in your office, and how long those records must be kept in your office or kept in the records center, before they can be legally destroyed or transferred to the National Archives. Records retention and disposition schedules serve as the official authorization to destroy or transfer records. Records retention and disposition schedules may be revised and updated as necessary but each revision must be approved by the REE Records Management Officer and the National Archives before they can be used to authorize destruction or transfer of records.
