SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Strategic Plan of the National Archives 
and Records Administration (NARA) states that NARA will ensure ready 
access to essential evidence that documents the rights of American 
citizens, the actions of Federal officials, and the national 
experience. In support of the NARA Strategic Plan, this Proposal for a 
Redesign of Federal Records Management lays out a strategy for a 
redesigned records management program at NARA. The strategy calls for 
NARA to partner with stakeholders to ensure that:
     Federal agencies can economically and effectively create 
and manage records necessary to meet business needs,
     Records are kept long enough to protect rights, assure 
accountability, and document the national experience, and
     Records are destroyed when they are no longer needed and 
it is practical to do so.

    Dated: August 2, 2002.

Federal Register Liaison.
