Hi Christopher,
I agree that reducing the number of agency-specific records schedules is a worthy goal, and this is spelled out in the first sentence of that section.
However, I read the second sentence "These significant changes will include, combining the records series into more appropriate aggregations for easier disposition action by agencies, AND [my emphasis] expanding the number of permanent records series in the GRS to reduce the scheduling and appraisal burden on agencies" as an intent to increase the number of records series that are permanent, hence my comment.
I do hope your interpretation is correct, though!

Fred,
"And I wonder about the wisdom of Part II, Section C2 "... expanding the number of permanent record series in the GRS [General Records Schedules] to reduce the scheduling and appraisal burden on agencies." It seems to me this trades off an old problem (the scheduling and appraisal burden) for a new one: more permanent records to preserve.
And they will be digital, worse yet."
I read this as expanding the General Records Schedules and therefore reducing the agency-specific records schedules. Creating more GRS will not be creating more permanent records. It would just combine all the various agency permanent schedules for say press releases into a single government-wide permananet press release GRS.
I welcome other interpretations.
