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

Dear Senior Agency Official for Records Management,

My office has released our latest semi-annual report on records management: Semi-Annual Report of Records Management Oversight Activities: January-June 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 January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023. It identifies trends from one inspection and data gathered by the annual reports we require from federal agencies. More details from annual reporting can be found in the recently published Federal Agency Records Management Report, 2022. It also highlights oversight activities currently in progress including several assessments, inspections and systems audits to be covered in future semi-annual reports.

Our goal is to continue to share the best practices and lessons learned we identify through our oversight work with the broader federal records management community. 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
