ACTION: Notice of new General Records
Schedule (GRS) Transmittal 29.
AGENCY:
NARA is issuing a new set of
General Records Schedules (GRS) via
GRS Transmittal 29. The GRS provides
mandatory disposition instructions for
administrative records common to
several or all Federal agencies.
Transmittal 29 announces changes we
have made to the GRS since we
published Transmittal 28 in July. We are
concurrently disseminating Transmittal
29 (the memo and the accompanying
records schedules and documents)
directly to each agency’s records
management official and have also
posted it on NARA’s website.
DATES: This transmittal is effective
December 21, 2017.
ADDRESSES: You can find this
transmittal on NARA’s website at https://
www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/grs/
grs-trs29.pdf. You can download the
complete current GRS, in PDF format,
from NARA’s website at https://
www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/grs/
trs29-sch-only.pdf.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
more information about this notice or to
obtain paper copies of the GRS, contact
Kimberly Keravuori, External Policy
Program Manager, by email at
regulation_comments@nara.gov or by
telephone at 301–837–3151.
SUMMARY:
Writing and maintaining the GRS is
the GRS Team’s responsibility. This
team is part of Records Management
Services in the National Records
Management Program, Office of the
Chief Records Officer at NARA. You
may contact NARA’s GRS Team with
general questions about the GRS at
GRS_Team@nara.gov.
Your agency’s records officer may
contact the NARA appraiser or records
analyst with whom your agency
normally works for support in carrying
out this transmittal and the revised
portions of the GRS. You may access a
list of the appraisal and scheduling
work group and regional contacts on our
website at https://www.archives.gov/

GRS
Transmittal 29 announces changes to
the General Records Schedules (GRS)
made since NARA published GRS
Transmittal 28 in July 2017. The GRS
provide mandatory disposition
instructions for records common to
several or all Federal agencies. With
Transmittal 29, we come to the end of
our five-year plan to completely rewrite
the GRS dating from the 1940s and
updated piecemeal over the succeeding
decades. All the old items are now
superseded or, in some case, rescinded.
Transmittal 29 includes only
schedules newly issued or updated
since the last transmittal and those
schedules’ associated new-to-old
crosswalks and FAQs. This means that
many current GRS schedules are not
included in this Transmittal.
You can find all schedules (in Word,
PDF, and CSV formats), crosswalks and
FAQs for all schedules, and FAQs about
the whole GRS at https://
www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/
grs.html. At the same location, you can
also find the entire GRS (just
schedules—no crosswalks or FAQs) in a
single document.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
What changes does this transmittal
make to the GRS?
GRS Transmittal 29 publishes five
new schedules:
Budgeting Records ............................................................................................................................................
Employee Health and Safety Records ..............................................................................................................

ACTION:
How do I cite new GRS items?
When you send records to an FRC for
storage, you should cite the records’
legal authority—the ‘‘DAA’’ number—in
the ‘‘Disposition Authority’’ column of
the table. For informational purposes,
please include schedule and item
number. For example, ‘‘DAA–GRS–
2013–0001–0004 (GRS 4.3, item 020).’’

Rescinded items are shown in context

Whom do I contact for further
information?
SUMMARY:
Do I have to take any action to
implement these GRS changes?
NARA regulations (36 CFR
1226.12(a)) require agencies to
disseminate GRS changes within six
months of receipt.
Per 36 CFR 1227.12(a)(1), you must
follow GRS dispositions that state they
must be followed without exception.
Per 36 CFR 1227.12(a)(3), if you have
an existing schedule that differs from a
new GRS item that does not require
being followed without exception, and
you wish to continue using your agencyspecific authority rather than the GRS
authority, you must notify NARA within
120 days of the date of this transmittal.
If you do not have an already existing
agency-specific authority but wish to
apply a retention period that differs
from that specified in the GRS, you
must submit a records schedule to
NARA for approval via the Electronic
Records Archives.
