AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice of administrative correction to records schedules.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are making the following administrative corrections to 
several

[[Page 71100]]

schedules of the Department of Treasury's Bureau of Fiscal Service. 
These cover its schedules for Support Records for Public Debt, Retail 
Securities Services, Summary Debt Accounting, Wholesale Security 
Services, and Government Agency Investment Services. An administrative 
correction addresses errors or oversights to temporary items in an 
approved records schedule. We are correcting errors and oversights in 
these schedules to make clear they are media-neutral.

DATES: Submit any comments by January 28, 2022.

ADDRESSES: You can find the records schedules subject to this proposed 
administrative correction on our website's Records Control Schedule 
page at https://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/rcs/schedules/index.html?dir=/departments/department-of-the-treasury/rg-0053. You may 
submit comments by either of the following methods.
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov.
     Due to COVID-19 building closures, we are currently 
temporarily not accepting comments by mail. However, if you are unable 
to comment via regulations.gov, you may contact 
[email protected] for instructions on submitting your comment. 
You must cite the control number of the schedule you wish to comment 
on.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kimberly Keravuori, Regulatory and 
External Policy Program Manager, by email at 
[email protected], or by phone at 301.837.3151. For 
information about records schedules, contact Records Management 
Operations by email at [email protected] or by phone at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Administrative corrections are changes to 
temporary items on approved records schedules to address errors or 
oversights when the records were originally scheduled. The notice 
applies only to the changes described; not to other portions of a 
schedule. Submitting agencies cannot implement administrative 
corrections until the comment period ends and NARA approves the 
changes.
    This administrative correction should be read in conjunction with 
the previously approved records schedules N1-053-06-04, Bureau of 
Fiscal Service, Support Records for Public Debt; N1-053-06-05, Bureau 
of Fiscal Service, Retail Securities Services; N1-053-06-06, Bureau of 
Fiscal Service, Summary Debt Accounting; N1-053-06-07, Bureau of Fiscal 
Service, Wholesale Security Services; and N1-053-06-08, Bureau of 
Fiscal Service, Government Agency Investment Services. You can find 
these schedules on the Records Control Schedule page at https://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/rcs/schedules/index.html?dir=/departments/department-of-the-treasury/rg-0053.
    We are making an administrative correction to the schedules to 
clearly indicate that all temporary items on the schedules are media-
neutral items. These schedules were prepared and approved at a time of 
transition when media-neutral status was not as clearly noted on 
records schedules as it later came to be. We have reviewed the 
administrative record and concluded that these schedules were intended 
to be media-neutral, and that when they were received and evaluated by 
NARA they were understood to be media-neutral. Therefore, we are 
modifying the schedules to make this status clear in the body of the 
schedules.
    Making these schedule items media-neutral means the schedule 
instructions and retention periods can be applied to the described 
kinds of records regardless of an individual record's medium (for 
example, hard-copy, analog, or digital). We will line out all 
references to ``hard copy'' that were erroneously included in the 
temporary item descriptions, and add a statement on the schedule that 
it is a media-neutral schedule. See https://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/faqs/media-neutral.html for more information on media-neutral 
schedules.

Chief Records Officer for the U.S. Government.
