The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is changing how it announces General Records Schedule (GRS) Transmittals. - NARA will stop issuing separate Federal Register notices for new GRS Transmittals. - Transmittals will continue to be published on NARA’s website, with agencies notified by email and other established channels. - NARA’s schedule appraisal and approval process, and agencies’ responsibilities for implementing GRS changes, remain unchanged. - This is an administrative notice, not a procurement opportunity; no vendors, products, quantities, or services are requested.
Description
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is discontinuing separate Federal Register notices announcing new General Records Schedule (GRS) Transmittals. The transmittals, which provide mandatory disposition instructions for records common to several or all federal agencies, will continue to be issued and made available on NARA’s website. Agencies will receive notifications by email and other established communication channels. The change does not alter NARA’s GRS appraisal and approval process or agencies’ implementation responsibilities.
