Memorandum to Federal Records Management Contacts: Request for Comments on Draft NARA Bulletin for Metadata for Classified Records

We are requesting comments on a draft NARA Bulletin: Metadata Guidance for the Transfer of Classified Electronic Records

Please send comments or questions to rmstandards@nara.gov by August 16, 2024.

This bulletin provides guidance on security classification metadata that must accompany transfers of permanent classified electronic records to the U.S. National Archives. This metadata documents the access restrictions, review and declassification, and other metadata elements.

This bulletin builds on the guidance in NARA Bulletin 2015:04: Metadata Guidance for the Transfer of Permanent Electronic Records. 

We appreciate you taking the time to review this draft bulletin and provide comments.
