SUMMARY: This document contains a correction to the final regulations, 
which were published in the Federal Register of Thursday, November 15,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The final regulations that are the subject of this correction made 
new Federal records schedules media neutral unless otherwise specified 
and allowed schedules previously approved for hard copy records to be 
applied to electronic versions of the files if certain conditions are 
met. The regulation applies to all Federal agencies, including the 
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations contain an error in Sec.  
1228.24(b)(3); the paragraph requires an effective date and not the 
instruction to use the effective date of the rule.
