Hi, Tom,

Here at American Honda Motor Co., Inc, we have an informational use line on
the retention which is usually one year.  We encourage departments to keep
duplicate copies only as long as needed for their purposes, not even the
entire year.  I haven't heard of a department trying to keep their copies
longer than the official record copy.
