NASA Records Retention Schedules (w/Change 5, 6/26/09)

Chapter 2. NRRS 2

Legal and Technical 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.

LEGAL

The records described in Schedule 2 pertain to the management and operation of NASA's legal and patent functions. They are created and accumulated by organizations that have management control or formulate and prescribe legal or patent policies and procedures and by activities and offices applying these procedures. This schedule describes the pertinent categories and specifies the retention period and dispositions for each.

TECHNICAL

In addition, Schedule 2 also includes records that pertain to the management and operation of NASA's scientific and technical information programs, including the technology utilization offices. These records include the published formal series of scientific and technical information, the routine operating procedures which include sending the contracting officer a copy of all correspondence with the contractor pertaining to contract administration, and the patent counsel copies of reportable items and data, and all correspondence relevant to innovations and potentially patentable inventions.
