lIf any of the 5 retention policy factors change, an org should look at
all the policies and see which ones will be affected.  In this case, it
is very likely that many retentions can be shortened based on not having
the regulations.  Others can always say this or that, traditionally,
whatever, big deal.  Follow the retention policy matrix and document the
change in policy and why, and the org is covered.

Of course, in the retention process one will ask, what is the standard
business practice for most utilities when it comes to these record
types -
and someone will pull out that dog-eared copy of the 1972 version of
Title
18 and say, "well traditionally..."

The regs may be gone, but the expectation will still be there and the
opposing side will claim any changes you made, were to ditch your
smoking
guns.
