I thought every organization already did that; the retention policies
are for the information; regardless of media.

The National Archives and Records Administration published a proposed
rule today relating to scheduling Federal records.  This proposal would
make existing approved records schedules and future records schedules
applicable to bodies of records regardless of the medium in which the
records are created and maintained. Both the Federal agency (in
submitting the schedule) and NARA (in approving the schedule) would be
able to specify that certain disposition authorities are valid only for
the current media/format of the records.  The proposed rule is intended
to reduce the records scheduling workload for both agencies and NARA,
allowing both to focus resources on other critical records management
needs.

Comments are due by January 18, 2005 and can be sent to regulations.gov
