4.2.12: Records Management
Determine the most appropriate methods to capture and retain records on both government servers and technologies hosted on
non-Federal hosts
Other Information:
While following a policy of openness and transparency, the Federal Records Act, regulations, and Departmental policy and guidance
govern the proper management and archiving of records throughout the records life cycle. DOI users, working with the Departmental
Records Manager and bureau Records Officers, will determine the most appropriate methods to capture and retain records on
both government servers and technologies hosted on non-Federal hosts. The NARA offers resources and guidance to Agencies to
ensure proper records management. Additionally, records retention policies must be followed regarding any records released
from DOI. The Departmental Records Office within the OCIO has contracted for development of an enterprise-wide electronic
Records Management process. In addition, the Departmental Records Office is exploring ways to simplify the overall taxonomy
of records schedules at the Department, with the goal of making it much easier to understand the organization of records systems
at DOI. These two initiatives are expected to greatly facilitate and support openness, transparency, and the ability to collaborate
with regard to DOI information.
