All,

This question is specifically for federal records managers or those 
familiar with the GRS.  I need some assistance from the knowledgeable 
folks on the list!

I am looking for a GRS retention for government volunteer files.  We have 
several field stations that use volunteers and I'd like to know a 
retention period.  I do know that volunteer paperwork (it's the government 
so of course they fill out paperwork) is processed at our servicing office 
but is not entered into the NFC database.  Some of these employees also 
end up with medical monitoring files.  I can't find anything under medical 
monitoring for this.  I've advised that the volunteer be given their 
medical records once they finish their work.

So, I've looked in the APHIS records management manual, that governs my 
agency which is Wildlife Services, and come up with nothing.  I've tried 
our servicing office personnel and again, nothing.  I then went to the GRS 
fully expecting to get an answer and didn't find anything.  I can't help 
but think I'm missing something.  Surely we're not the only government 
agency with volunteers.  I also checked the OPM Guide to Personnel 
Recordkeeping. 

Many thanks,
