Larry,

I'm very interested (as is my DOE POC) in seeing the changes because of all the issues you listed below.  Do you know where we can see the drafts?

Subject: New Drafts of the six "New" General Records Schedules form NARA

I realize not everyone here works in a US Federal Agency or for Contractors who get their guidance from them, but I am also aware many do.

I'm curious how many of you have been given an opportunity for an early review of the six "new" proposed schedules and if ANY OF YOU are having as difficult time as I am making any sense of:

The format
The lack of a clear crosswalk
The failure to provide citations back to prior Schedule/Series The use of a "sequence number" which ignores the item number in the schedule The failure to provide an ability to expand numbering in the event of new items The reference to past authorization numbers rather than schedule numbers

These are out for a pre-review to gauge the usability prior to their being posted in the Federal Register, but I have to say I SURE HOPE the audience is broad enough to give them a real sense of how horrible these are.

To re-use schedule numbers and have them not relate in any way, shape or form to what has been used in the past is going to cause great confusion for any/all records presently scheduled and in storage at FRCs and within Agencies.

The problem isn't just the changes to retention periods, which will cause problems for existing records until they meet their retention periods, but the manner in which past series have been aggregated across schedules.  And without a crosswalk of series-to-series, there is virtually NO WAY to evaluate the impact on existing populations of records.

I'd REALLY appreciate hearing from others who have been reviewing these, on line or offline.
