NARA publishes proposed rule - Records management; Electronic records...



The National Archives and Records Administration proposes to amend its regulations for the transfer of permanent records to NARA by permitting two additional electronic records transfer methods, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and Digital Linear Tape IV (DLTtape IV).  NARA is introducing these transfer methods to reduce the media and shipping costs of electronic records transferred from Government agencies, improve record and file integrity, and expand the options for transfer methods.  This rule will affect Government agencies transferring permanent electronic records to the National Archives of the United States.

The proposed rule is in the June 26 2002 Federal Register at page 43069.  Comments are due on August 26, 2002.

A link to the proposed rule is available at http://www.archives.gov/about_us/opportunities_for_comment/opportunities_for_comment.html
