What is the Federal Records Center (FRC)?
The National Archives and Records Administration operates a system of Federal records centers (FRCs) for the economical storage of and access to noncurrent records of the Federal Government. This government-wide program is authorized by 44 U.S.C. 2903, 2907, and 3103. Agency Headquarters offices can use the FRC located in Suitland, Maryland (also known as the Washington National Records Center), to store noncurrent, inactive, or permanent records pending their ultimate disposition in accordance with Agency Records Disposition (Control) Schedules.
