Memorandum to Senior Agency Officials for Records Management: Semi-Annual Report of Records Management Oversight Activities

Dear Senior Agency Official for Records Management,

We have released our latest semi-annual report on records management: Semi-Annual Report of Records Management Oversight Activities: January 1 - June 30, 2024. This report, and all of our previous semi-annual reports, are available on the Records Management Oversight and Reporting page on our website. 

This report summarizes NARA’s records management oversight activities completed from January 1 through June 30, 2024. It identifies trends from two agency inspections reports, one records management assessment, and data gathered from the annual reports required from federal agencies. It also highlights oversight activities currently in progress including inspections and assessments to be covered in future semi-annual reports. The report also includes recommendations for SAORMs to consider based on the trends that were identified.

We look forward to sharing future semi-annual reports with you that will include additional recommendations for action by SAORMs, agency records officers, and other records management staff.

Please contact me if you have any questions or wish to discuss further.

WILLIAM FISCHER
Chief Records Officer
for the U.S. Government (Acting)
