The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) announced a request for public comments on certain federal agency records schedules. These schedules propose how long records should be kept before they can be disposed of if they are no longer needed for government operations. Anyone interested can view these schedules and submit comments through regulations.gov or by email until March 17, 2025. After reviewing the comments, any changes to the proposed schedules will be made before final approval by the Archivist of the United States.
Simple Explanation
The National Archives is asking people what they think about how long they should keep certain government papers before throwing them out if they're not needed anymore. People can say what they think by sending comments online until March 17, 2025.
