The Official Personnel Folder (Standard Form 66) is a file containing records that cover an individuals employment history. It covers Executive Branch service under Title 5, United States Code (http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/get-cfr.cgi?TITLE=5&PART=293&SECTION=302&TYPE=TEXT). The long-term records included in the file are chosen to protect the legal and financial rights of the Government and the employee. The Official Personnel Folder is part of the Government-wide system of records, OPM/GOVT-1. While a person is employed at a Federal agency, the agency becomes the custodian of the OPF. The OPF is ultimately the property of the Office of Personnel Management. The Guide to Personnel Recordkeeping, published by the OPM, contains the rules for creating, maintaining, using and disposing of the OPF.
