The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is announcing that certain federal agencies are requesting permission to dispose of records that they no longer need, and they are inviting the public to comment on these proposals. These records schedules are published in the Federal Register and on regulations.gov, where the public can view each schedule and submit comments. The list includes schedules from agencies such as the Department of Defense and the Department of Energy. All comments submitted will be publicly available, and after reviewing them, NARA may adjust the schedules before approving them for implementation.
