Arrest Warrant Issued for Individual Named in Case Number 30.2025
July 30, 2025
The Federal Records Centers Program (FRCP) plays a crucial role in managing the disposition of records for federal agencies. According to regulations outlined by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) (36 CFR § 1226), agencies are required to follow retention schedules for both temporary and permanent records, and the agency is responsible for approving disposal notices for records stored in the FRCP.
When an agency concurs with the disposal, it results in overall cost savings and lower risk for the government, while protecting citizens' rights. On the other hand, if an agency does not concur with the disposal, it must provide a justification for non-concurrence and return the signed form to the appropriate FRC.
In FY24, the FRCP only received 19.85% concurrence responses for disposal notices, 6.35% declination responses, and 73.8% of agencies did not respond. However, it's important to note that the current disposition concurrence rate and its change over time are not publicly detailed in the official records management guidance or communications reviewed.
To obtain precise disposition concurrence rates and trends, one would typically need to consult official NARA records management performance reports or audits, agency-specific annual records management reports, or Congressional or Inspector General reports addressing federal records disposition compliance.
Under the leadership of Acting Chief Records Officer for the U.S. Government, William Fischer, the importance of proper records management is emphasized. NARA recommends that agencies review disposal notices carefully and respond in a timely manner.
If there are any questions about this memo, contact the Federal Records Center Program Account Manager. By adhering to these regulations, agencies can save money in storage costs, reduce risk, and ensure federal recordkeeping compliance.
