NPR 1441.1D - Chapter1

Organization and Administrative Records

This records schedule is one of a series of schedules, approved by the Archivist of the United States, which furnishes authoritative instructions for the retention, destruction, or retirement of records held by NASA Centers or other offices.

This schedule grants continuing authority for the disposition of records already accumulated or to be accumulated in the future.

The records described in Schedule 1 are the general, management, and administrative types of records essential to ordinary office operations but distinct from the records of functional activities as set forth in other NASA Records Retention Schedules. Some of the records categorized and listed are found only in offices at the upper management levels; others are found at almost every organizational level. Offices with functional management responsibilities will usually need to consult at least one other schedule, in addition to NRRS 1, in order to effectively control the disposition of their records.
