SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

An administrative correction is a change to temporary items on an approved record schedule to address errors or oversights when the records were originally scheduled. This notice applies only to the change described, and not to other portions of the schedule. The submitting agency cannot implement the administrative correction until the comment period ends and NARA approves the change.

This administrative correction should be read in conjunction with the previously approved records schedule DAA-0237-2019-0002, Federal Aviation Administration, Traffic Flow Management System. You can find the schedule on the Records Control Schedule page at https://www.archives.gov/​records-mgmt/​rcs/​schedules/​departments/​department-of-transportation/​rg-0237/​daa-0237-2019-0002_​sf115.pdf.

We are making an administrative correction to the schedule to expand the retention period and to revise cutoff instructions to be clearer and more implementable. The recommended retention period will be changed from “Destroy 3 years after cutoff” to “Destroy 3 years after cutoff but longer retention is authorized if required for business use.” The updated retention period covers situations where the outside agencies/entities (NASA, NWS, etc.) that have agreements for obtaining TFM-I/TFMS data would renegotiate agreements if they needed data that went further back than the 3 year retention period. In addition, the cutoff will be changed from “After case is closed” to “Cutoff at the end of the calendar year the data is generated.”

This schedule was inadvertently approved before the following changes were made. We reviewed the administrative record and concluded that the agency did agree to these changes. Therefore, we are modifying the schedule for clarity and to make the implementation process as accurate and efficient as possible. We will make a modified approved version in ERA to the schedule to revise the retention period and cutoff instructions.
