Introduction
Records Management Programs is designed to allow EPA staff and the public to
identify records management contacts in each facility or program, and to
facilitate communications among records managers Agencywide. It contains
information about the records management programs and the services they offer.
Entries are arranged by EPA.organizational structure. Headquarters records
management programs are listed first, followed by the ten Regions in which the
network is located. Additional records programs, including Laboratories and
Superfund, are listed after the entry for their Regional records management
program. An alphabetical cross-reference to these records programs is included
in Appendix A, "Alphabetical Index."
The National Records Management Program at Headquarters provides the
overall framework to accomplish the mission, issues Agencywide policy and
guidance, and provides client and records network communication. Regions and
Laboratories designate a Records Management Officer to implement records
management programs, and carry out records management responsibilities in
their area. Appendix B, "Agency Records Management Policy," explains the
Agency's records management structure and responsibilities and references the
Federal legislation and supporting regulations which govern the records
management programs of all Federal Agencies.
The mission of the Agency's records management program is to provide records
management leadership and expertise to all Agency programs. The main
objectives of the Agency's records management program are to ensure access to
facilitate environmental decision making, and manage records in the most
efficient and economical manner. These objectives are achieved through a
comprehensive program of policy and guidance development, communication
and outreach initiatives, education and training, and direct services to programs.
Appendix C, "EPA Records Management Tools," provides a list of publications
that form the backbone of a records management program. These tools are
divided into three categories: Essential tools which include regulatory,
standards, and policy publications; Useful tools covering additional sources of
helpful information; and a selected list of National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA) Publications. This Appendix may be reproduced and
used for ordering purposes.

Information Management and Services Division, Office of Information Resources
Management. A copy of the "Records Management Survey" form is located in

property of the United States Government. Persons who create or acquire
custody or possession of official records by virtue of their positions as
officials or employees do not necessarily attain a proprietary interest in
such records. Official records are public records and belong to the
Government rather than to the employee. The penalties for the willful and
unlawful destruction, removal from files and private use of official records
are contained in 18 U.S.C. 2071. All EPA employees are responsible for
reporting any actual or threatened unlawful loss or removal of official
records to the Agency Records Management Officer, Information
Management and Services Division.
Detailed information on records management procedures and guidance are
contained in the EPA Records Management Manual.
