MEMORANDUM TO FEDERAL AGENCY CONTACTS: Release of NARA Bulletin 2020-02, Guidance on Scheduling the Early and Late Transfer of Permanent Records

I am pleased to announce that NARA has released new guidance: NARA Bulletin 2020-02, Guidance on Scheduling the Early and Late Transfer of Permanent Records. The bulletin is available at https://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/bulletins/2020/2020-02. 

This Bulletin supersedes NARA Bulletin 2015-01. In 2015, NARA issued guidance for scheduling permanent records with retention periods less than 15 years. This updated Bulletin covers those records and adds guidance on scheduling permanent records with retention periods more than 30 years. 

If you have questions about this bulletin, please contact your NARA appraisal archivist.
