Records Schedules

* Please see the DOE Records Schedules website for the most current information.*

Disposal of records needs to be coordinated with the Records Manager to verify no legal holds apply.

Epidemiological (EPI) Moratorium    
The Secretary of Energy placed a moratorium on records destruction of epidemiological records on March 15, 1989 which is still in effect. These records cover environmental monitoring; health and safety; administrative organization and management; process and material controls; as well as work history, assignments and locations. These records may *not* be destroyed, even if past the retention period outlined in the records schedules, until the moratorium is officially lifted.  

Digitization Projects    
Staff who undertake digitization of paper records need to be aware that their project(s) must meet U.S. federal government digitization requirements as specified in 36 CFR Chapter XII, Subchapter B, Part 1236, Subpart D.
