Chapter 6. NRRS 6

Transportation

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 this schedule pertain to the movement of goods and persons under Government orders. The records include bills of lading, transportation requests, vouchers, and similar records, including those prescribed by Title 5 of the General Accounting Office Policy and Procedures Manual. Copies of some of these records used to support payments become a part of the accountable officers' accounts, or are accounting posting media. Their disposition and description may be covered by NASA Records Retention Schedule 9.

Movement of Goods

The key record is the bill of lading, of which there are copies for consignors, consignees, and the carriers themselves. The documents related to and normally filed with the bill of lading are varied and often voluminous. These may consist of shortage and demurrage reports, invoices, and other information which documents the transaction. Included are records relating to the shipment of household effects, authorized by law and regulations for military personnel and for civilian employees of the Government. Agencies shipping certain valuables under the Government Losses in Shipment Act, which insures against loss, retain copies of schedules of material shipped, documents relating to claims which may ensue, and other pertinent records.

Movement of Personnel

These records include copies of travel orders, authorizing travel and s ubsequent payment, and standard form vouchers showing payment for official travel. These records are covered under Schedule 9.

All records described in this schedule are authorized for disposal in both hard copy and electronic forms, as provided for under NASA Schedule 2 and NASA Schedule 10, Records Common to Most Offices.
