§ 101-41.006 - Electronic data interchange (EDI) records.

(a) For the purposes of EDI only, a paper or microform record need not be created to satisfy the requiements of this part if the record is initially prepared in a coordinated electronic exchange medium. Each record kept in such a coordinated medium shall be accompanied by a statement clearly indicating the type of data included in the record and certifying that the information contained in it has been accurately duplicated. This statement shall be executed by the person duplicating the records. The records shall be indexed and retained in such a manner that they are easily accessible and the carrier or the agency shall have the facilities available to locate, identify, and reproduce the records in readable form without loss of clarity.

(b) The transmission of records between the agency, the carrier, and the General Services Administration may be in an electronic media.
