    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Background

    The final regulations that are the subject of this correction made new Federal records schedules media neutral unless otherwise specified and allowed schedules previously approved for hard copy records to be applied to electronic versions of the files if certain conditions are met. The regulation applies to all Federal agencies, including the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

    Need for Correction

    As published, the final regulations contain an error in § 1228.24(b)(3); the paragraph requires an effective date and not the instruction to use the effective date of the rule.
