Just a thought: Depending on what kind of an agency you work for, Office of Record may also be important, and the record series (meaning functional type of record or its important attachment), might be more important than a "subject" in order to discriminate retention periods. Records generally fall into four major categories, those that are routine to every department (sometimes called housekeeping files), those that are mission- related to any given department or office based on their functional responsibilities and relationship to the agency as a whole, those that obligate the agency or department (Law and legal or rights and interest files), and those that are "subject oriented" reference files.
