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.
