How Federal Agencies Are Approaching Email Disposition

  Download NARA's Email Disposition Spreadsheet for more information about specific approaches and disposition authorities that agencies are using.  Please note this is not a comprehensive list of agencies.  Details of the spreadsheet are in the table below.

 

Agencies have several options to approach email disposition and may use a combination of any of the following:

  • Implement the General Records Schedule (GRS) 6.1 disposition authority, otherwise known as the Capstone GRS. Agencies must request to use this GRS authority with a NARA form 1005, Verification for Implementing GRS 6.1.  
  • Request disposition authority through the submission and approval of an agency-specific schedule.
  • The traditional approach to records management which requires individuals to make a records disposition decision on every email they send or receive based on its content.  Users determine if the email is permanent or temporary; and if temporary, how long the records schedule requires it be kept.
  • Combination of the above

The information in the spreadsheet is derived from several NARA data collection sources.  They show:

  • An agency has submitted a NA-1005 for NARA’s review (form is approved or pending approval); 
  • An agency has a NARA- approved records schedule for their email;
  •  An agency reported via the annual Records Management Self-Assessment (RMSA) that they use  traditional records management to manage their email;
  • An agency reported via the RMSA that it has not decided which approach it will use to manage its email; or 
  • We have no information from the agency.

More information about the RMSA may be found here.  A list of approved Capstone forms can be found on the Records Control Schedule here.
