Unauthorized Disposal of Federal Records NARA does not conduct criminal investigations or inquiries for alleged incidents of unauthorized disposition. Agencies are responsible for investigating the allegations and reporting to NARA.
In certain cases of unauthorized disposition, including the removal of records from government custody and control, the Federal Records Act authorizes referrals to the Department of Justice and the Attorney General.
The Records Management Oversight and Reporting Program handles unauthorized disposition cases. Federal agencies are required to "notify the Archivist of any actual, impending, or threatened unlawful removal, defacing, alteration, corruption, deletion, erasure, or other destruction of records in the custody of the agency" (36 CFR Part 1230). This includes incidents from accidental deletion of electronic records to the loss of paper files or boxes during the course of shipping or relocation. NARA also receives notifications from other sources (i.e. media and citizens).
NARA tracks each allegation and any communications with the agency until the issue is resolved. See Unauthorized Disposition Website—Case correspondence and summaries.
To report unauthorized disposition, email UnauthorizedDisposition@nara.gov.
For information on individual cases, contact the NARA’s FOIA Office and file a FOIA request using the case ID. See also:
previously requested records in the FOIA Electronic Reading Room.
