I have embarked on the daunting task of reviewing all the citations that back up our retention schedule. Since we operate in all 50 states there is a boatload -- some 6900. The original list was compiled by the consultants that helped develop the plan. What I am noticing is that there are a whole bunch of citations included for reports or filings we must submit to this or that government agency, that just say we have to do it but do not say anything about having to retain anything. 

While it is interesting knowing the sheer volume of government mandated reporting, do you think these should be included as part of the retention schedule? I'm guessing that the data for these reports/filings are gathered from other documents that do have a stated retention -- either by statute/reg or just operationally. 

If these should be included I fear I'll have to go through each state's regs with a fine tooth comb. It seems that if one state requires something, other states might have a similar requirement and I'm not seeing that in this list.
