the lack of a federal citations does not mean that an item is not a record.
Many RMs and others have becoming entirely too dependent upon
legal/regulatory citations to determine whether or not an item is a record.
Ask yourself these questions
Is there a business process that produces this item?
Does this support a business process or decision?
If not associated with a business process what purpose does this item serve.
If no statutory/regulatory citation exists saying how long to retain this
item ask yourself these questions
Is there an operational reason for retaining the record?
Is there an administrative reason?
Is there a financial reason?
Is there a legal reason eg contract based
Is there a historical/archival reason.
answer those questions and you'll be able to determine how long to keep the
item
