3.2.7: Launch a Records Management Profile
Information and records management is an integral part of the government’s operations. It permeates all government business
processes and crosses all lines of business. Documenting citizen-government interactions, decisions for which government officials
are accountable, and the government’s role in the nation’s history is a statutory mandate as well as a necessity for maintaining
public confidence in e-governmenttransactions.OMB and The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) have issued
guidance to agencies on how best to manage their e-records efforts so records information can be effectively used to support
timely and effective decision-making, enhance service delivery, and ensure accountability. Currently, agency systems managers
lack a tool by which they may synthesize the guidance and ease the compliance process. The FEA PMO will work with NARA and
the AIC to complete and launch a Records Management Profile in the FEA. The Records Management Profile would provide a methodology
using relevant FEA reference model information (i.e., context and conditions) to help business owners accurately determine
information and records categorization and establish an appropriate set of information and records management controls resulting
in seamless and transparent use of information. This profile supports the goals of E-Records Management, one of the President’s
EGovernment Initiative’s, including optimizing e-records management expenditures, eliminating duplicative electronic records
efforts and enhancing service delivery to citizens.
