I was able to find the National Institute of Standards and Technology Guidelines for Medial Standardization (9/2006) at: http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-88/NISTSP800-88_rev1.pdf# search=%22standards%20erasure%20magnetic%20media%22 This appears to be interesting. I see roles and responsibilities for Records Managers contained within the document. Looks like fun reading.
