Records Transmittal and Receipt, SF-135
Reminder: Customer agencies without an approved exception to the OMB M-23-07 June 30th, 2024 deadline should ensure that all transfer requests are submitted prior to COB June 30th, 2024.
Per OMB M-23-07, after June 30, 2024, NARA will no longer be permitted to accept new transfers of permanent or temporary analog records unless the agency has been granted a limited exception. Please see OMB M-23-07 and/or your agency Records Officer for additional information. If you have questions or require clarification about the requirements of OMB/NARA M-19-21 or the exception process, please contact rmstandards@nara.gov.
- Agencies can store records that are covered by a NARA-approved records disposition schedule or the General Records Schedule on a reimbursable basis.
- Consistent with 36 CFR 1228.154(c)(vii), NARA records center facilities can accept unscheduled record series that have a SF 115, Request for Records Disposition Authority, logged and pending with NARA's Records Management Services (ACNR). Please insert "pending" in block 6h on the SF 135 and cite the schedule, the item number, and the date it submitted to NARA with a copy of the schedule.
- No original signature is required.
- One SF 135 is suggested for each transfer of temporary records. A separate SF 135 is required for each series of permanent or unscheduled records.
The NARA records center receiving an e-mail request to transfer records will complete the SF-135 and reply back via e-mail to the original e-mail address. Approved forms returned as "undeliverable" will be mailed. Please be certain that the transferring agency's mailing and e-mail address is included on the SF 135.
