Records & Statistics Management

Agencies are legally required to manage their records. Records are the evidence of the agency's actions and must be managed properly to comply with Federal laws and regulations. Agency heads have specific legal requirements for records management which include:

  • making and preserving records
  • establishing and maintaining an active, continuing program for the economical and efficient management of the records of the agency
  • establishing safeguards against the removal or loss of records and making requirements and penalties known to agency officials and employees
  • notifying the Archivist of any actual, impending, or threatened unlawful destruction of records and assisting in their recovery
