< There may not be many facilities that meet the 36CFR requirement in the Gulf Coast area, but there are some...and if that's true... then the records shouldn't be stored locally. There are NO exceptions given in 36CFR for geographic locations.  ....  As in all cases, the FRCs offer storage for Federal Records.

And YES... it *IS* the Agency's responsibility to ensure records are properly stored and protected, ... ... and NARA and the IG are responsible for grading these and performing at least "cursory" inspections to ensure they are accurate.  And where shortfalls are identified, request remediation plans.>

And if local storage firms can still get federal business without meeting the 36CFR requirements, they will continue to not meet them.  Until the federal business is taken away because the RC does not meet the requirements, there will continue to be few choices in the area.
