Memorandum To Senior Agency Officials For Records Management: Semi-Annual Report of Records Management Oversight Activities

Dear Senior Agency Official for Records Management,

We have released our latest semi-annual report on records management: Semi-Annual Report of Records Management Oversight Activities: July-December 2023. This report, and all of our previous semi-annual reports, is available on the Records Management Oversight and Reporting page on our website. 

This report summarizes NARA’s records management oversight activities completed from July 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. It identifies trends from two agency inspections, two records management assessments, and data gathered from the annual reports required from federal agencies. It also highlights oversight activities currently in progress including several assessments, inspections and systems audits to be covered in future semi-annual reports. More details from annual reporting can be found in the recently published Federal Agency Records Management Report, 2022.

We look forward to sharing future semi-annual reports with you that will include additional recommendations for action by SAORMs, agency records officers, and other records management staff.

Please contact me if you have any questions or wish to discuss further.

LAURENCE BREWER
Chief Records Officer
for the U.S. Government
