OIRM RECORDS MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES MANUAL               12/13/85
                        I.   INTRODUCTION
1.  PURPOSE OF THE OIRM RECORDS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

    The Office of Information Resources Management (OIRM)  has
implemented an office-wide records management system to
standardize recordkeeping and management of its administrative
and program records.  The system is designed to address several
problem areas identified in an FY 86 in-house study of OIRM
records management practices.  The primary deficiencies
identified during that study fall into the three following
categories:

         File Systems

              Division and branch-specific file systems had
              developed within OIRM, with little attention
              given to a uniform classification of records
              either within organizations or across
              organizations

              File categories for administrative records which
              all offices must maintain were inconsistently
              arranged from office to office

              There were no coherent file categories for
              program records.

         Procedures

              Compliance with standard Agency records
              management procedures was inconsistent, e.g.,
              lack of compliance with records retention
              schedules

              No office-wide records management procedures
              existed regarding capture, file control, and
              maintenance of records.

         Control and Maintenance of Records

              There was no clear designation of staff and
              records management responsibilities  leading to
              noncompliance with standard Agency records
              management procedures and haphazard  maintenance
              of records.
                              -1-

-------
01RM RECORDS MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES MANUAL               12/13/85
              Official program records were often maintained by
              staff responsible for that program area.

    To address these problems the present records management
system was developed and consists of four primary components:

         A uniform file classification system to provide easy
         and consistent filing of all records throughout OIRM.

         Each division and branch will keep its own active
         records and retain full control over them to allow for
         easy access by program personnel who normally use the
         records.

         Systematic assignment of responsibility for the
         control and maintenance of administrative and program
         records to a designated records coordinator who is
         responsible for classifying, filing, maintaining, and
         retiring records.  Records are managed in accordance
         with the standards and procedures presented in
         Chapters III-VIII.

         Standard OIRM records management procedures to form
         the basis for general records management activities
         and practices.

2.  ORGANIZATION OF THIS MANUAL

    The OIRM Records Management Procedures Manual establishes
uniform records management procedures and practices for OIRM
divisions and branches.  The Manual describes the components of
the OIRM records management system in the next chapter and
presents procedures to govern the following activities:

         Recordkeeping                 Chapter III

         File classification           Chapter IV

         Filing                        Chapter V

OIRM RECORDS MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES MANUAL               12/13/85
                 II.  COMPONENTS OF THE SYSTEM
1.  SUBJECT-NUMERIC UNIFORM FILE CLASSIFICATION

    A uniform file classification based on standard subject
headings superimposes one "master" filing system for all
records.  It groups related records together by a unifying
subject category and provides a logical "hook" for all types of
records — administrative, program records and reference
materials.  These categories can be as general or specific as
necessary.

    The OIRM subject-numeric file classification scheme
consists of three tiers.  The first tier is the primary subject
heading for a group of records.  The second and third tiers are
sub-headings within the primary subject heading.  This system
is similar to the organization of goods in a supermarket.  For
example:

    CANNED GOODS                  (Primary Subject)
     Canned Vegetables            (Secondary Subject)
      Canned Beans                (Tertiary Subject)

    For each heading and sub-heading there is assigned an
appropriate subject-numeric code.  Each code consists of three
letters and a series of numbers.  The three letters indicate
the name of the primary subject such as "AMP" for
"Administrative and Management Programs".  These codes remind
the user of what subject they represent.  Each code contains
the three-letter prefix followed by a number.  The alphabetic
prefix identifies the subject and the number identifies each
sub-heading.  For example:

AMP ADMINISTRATIVE AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS (Primary Subject)
AMP 4    Property Management               (Secondary Subject)
AMP 4-1       Office Equipment             (Tertiary Subject)

    Typically OIRM files are divided into several main groups
as described below:

    a.   Administrative Files.  These are administrative, or
         non-program records.  They are often called house
         keeping records because they are generated by support
         functions such as personnel management, finance or
                              -3-

-------
OIRM RECORDS MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES MANUAL               12/13/85



         office services.  Together with program records,
         administrative records comprise over 95% of all
         records.

    b.   Program Files.  These records relate directly to the
         mission of the Environmental Protection Agency.  They
         include subject files and case files.  Program files
         compose by far the greater share of the records of
         most offices.

    c.   Transitory Files.  These files contain material
         valuable only for a short time (several weeks to
         several months).  A prime example of a transitory file
         is the "reading" (chronological) file.  The reading
         file is composed of duplicate copies of outgoing
         correspondence or documents arranged chronologically.
         After circulation, file these copies in monthly
         folders, keep one year and destroy.  Keep other
         transitory material 90 days and destroy.

    d.   Convenience or Personal Files.  These files answer
         personal and operational needs not provided for by
         official administrative or program files.  These files
         include an individual staff member's working files and
         personal files.  Keep these files and records to an
         absolute minimum consistent with operational
         requirements.

    The file system contained in Appendix A is structured to
correspond to only two of the above types of records.  Part A
of the file classification deals with administrative records
and Part B deals with program records.  Together, these  records
comprise the overwhelming majority  (95%) of all OIRM records.
Transitory and personal files are usually set up and used
solely by one person.  These files are classified and
maintained in a logical framework tailored by the user.  For
this reason, this Manual does not apply to these files.
Administrative records include those "house-keeping" records
that are fairly uniform for all organizational units and do not
directly relate to the program activities of any specific
office.  Some typical administrative categories include:

    AMP                 Administrative and Management Programs

    BUA                 Budget Administration

    CON                 Contracts
                              -4-

-------
01RM RECORDS MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES MANUAL               12/13/85
Program records consist of records directly related to the
mission and program activities of each division within OIRM.
For example, the following program record categories have been
developed for the Information Management and Services Division
(IMSD):

    IMS       INFORMATION MANAGEMENT AND SERVICES DIVISION
              PROGRAM RECORDS

    IMS 1     DATA MANAGEMENT
    IMS 1-1        Assessing EPA's Long Range Information
                     Systems Needs
    IMS 1-2        Data Standards
    IMS 1-3        Systems Inventory
    IMS 1-4        Data Element Dictionary
    IMS 1-5        Information Systems - Integration &
                     Standards

    IMS 2     REQUIREMENT SYSTEMS ANALYSIS
    IMS 2-1        Enforcement Study
    IMS 2-1-1        Enforcement Study Horkplan
    IMS 2-1-2        Enforcement Strategy
    IMS 2-1-3        Enforcement Data Systems Planning
    IMS 2-1-4        Enforcement Data Systems
    IMS 2-2        Groundwater
    IMS 2-3        Risk Assessment
    IMS 2-4        ERB Data Systems Study
    IMS 2-5        PCS Study

    A uniform system eliminates problems in locating
administrative records within sub-units because records are
grouped similarly office-wide.  All records must be classified
using the categories listed in Appendix A.  Study the
categories and become familiar with both general administrative
categories and the subject headings and sub-headings for your
office.

2.  LOCATION AND CONTROL OF RECORDS

    OIRM has a controlled-decentralized records management
system which implies that each organizational unit within OIRM
should maintain its own records.  Each branch, division, and
the immediate office of the Director should maintain its
records in a location central to all unit staff to ensure easy
access.  For each OIRM division and branch, a records
coordinator  (usually the branch and/or division secretary)  is
assigned the responsibility for maintaining and managing the
respective organizational unit's administrative and program
files.

-------
OIRM RECORDS MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES MANUAL               12/13/85
Responsibilities include:
         Incorporating records provided by the responsible
         program staff member into the appropriate files

         Updating the files

         Maintaining a charge-out system, as necessary

         Adhering to Agency records retention schedules, and
         archiving/disposing of records when necessary.

All OIRM staff play a key role in managing OIRM records.  These
responsibilities, and those of the records coordinators are
detailed in Chapters III-VIII.

    In addition, the Agency has developed a set of policy
directives for the organization and maintenance of all EPA
records (e.g., the EPA Records Management Manual, 1984).  All
staff should become familiar with these general policies and
procedures and ensure they are followed to provide for the
safekeeping and efficient management of OIRM records.

    The Information Management and Services Division has been
designated overall responsibility for the coordination and
oversight of OIRM's records management activities.  As part of
this responsibility, IMSD will be responsible for updating the
OIRM file classification provided in Appendix A.  Formal
requests to revise Appendix A should be submitted to the Chief,
Information Management Branch.  Other questions regarding the
OIRM records management system and this Manual should be
directed to IMSD staff.

1.  GENERAL

    Records created or acquired by an official or employee of
the Agency in the course of conducting Government business are
the 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.
Agency personnel must comply with Agency policy to make and
preserve records and documentation of the organization,
functions, policy decisions, procedures and essential
transactions of the Agency and its component organizations.
Within OIRM, official records (those generated or acquired by
OIRM in order to administer or perform its program mission)
shall be maintained centrally in each division or branch by the
designated records coordinator (usually the branch and/or
division secretary).

              IV.  CLASSIFYING RECORDS FOR FILING
1.  GENERAL

    Prior to filing in the OIRM uniform file system, staff who
generate or acquire new records or revisions to records must
classify the record and assign an appropriate subject-numeric
file code.  Classification is the process of determining the
correct file in which a record should be placed.  The ability
to locate papers promptly after they have been filed depends
largely on the care and skill used to determine where to file
them.  Be consistent in classifying material for filing.

Note:  Any document that does not contain a file code will be
returned.to the originator so that they can assign a file code
to the document.
2.  PROCEDURES

    Responsibility

    All Staff
         Action

1. Classify document using the OIRM
   File Classification System in
   Appendix A.

2. Read and analyze the document.
   Search for key words or phrases.

3. Determine the most outstanding or
   prominent subject, that is, the
   subject by which it would be
   requested.

4. Determine if the record is
   administrative or if it is a
   program record.

5. Match the subject with the primary
   subject heading in the Uniform File
   Classification in Appendix A.

6. Match the secondary or tertiary
   sub-headings.

                         7.  Keep the files neat.

                            a. Loose Filing.  We recommend
                               loose filing of papers in
                               subject file folders.  Do not
                               fasten papers to the folder.
                               Loose filing permits you to
                               remove one or more pieces of
                               paper without removing the
                               entire folder from the file.
                               For case files, staple or fasten
                               related case materials together
                               and place in the folder.

                            b. Keep Papers Straight.  When
                               placing material in file folder,
                               do not let the papers extend
                               beyond the edges of the folders.

                            c. Avoid Overloading File
                               Folders.  When a file gets full
                               (about 3/4" thick), prepare a
                               new one and indicate the dates
                               covered on both the old and the
                               new folders.  Place the new
                               folder in front of the old
                               folder in the file.

             VI.  RETRIEVAL AND CONTROL OF RECORDS
1.  GENERAL

    The records coordinator is responsible for the retrieval
and control of records from the official files.  A charge-out
system for official file material is essential to preserve the
integrity of the files.  When a record is required from the
official files, staff should follow these steps.
2.  PROCEDURES

    Responsibility

    All Staff
          Action

1.  Request that the records
    coordinator:

    a.  Locate a particular record from
       file or

    b.  Permit the requestor to locate
       the record in the file.
                        2.
    Records Coordinator 3.
                        4.
                        5.
                        6.
    When requesting file material the
    requestor shall provide as much
    information as possible to identify
    the file, i.e., the name of the
    author,  the date and the subject of
    the material or the file code,  etc.

    If given the subject of the file or
    the file code, go directly to that
    file.

    If uncertain of the exact subject,
    consult  the OIRM File
    Classification (see Appendix A).

    If the material cannot be located
    in the files and is of recent date,
    check  the unfiled material.

    Once the material has been located,
    furnish  it to the requestor.

    All Staff
    Records Coordinator 8,
Complete a charge-out card,
Optional Form 23 (see Appendix B)
for any official file material to
be removed from a file station.

Place the completed charge-out card
in the file at the exact position
of the material it replaces.
Position the charge-out card in the
file in a vertical position so that
it extends above the guide cards
and folders.  This arrangement will
make the charge-out cards
conspicuous and provide for rapid
refiling of loaned material.  Use
of the charge-out card will
preserve the integrity of the files
by showing who is responsible for
the missing material.

When loaned material is returned,
replace the appropriate charge-out
card with the returned material.
Then, strike out the "charge-out"
information on the card.

            VII.  RECORDS RETENTION AND DISPOSITION


1.  GENERAL

    OIRM records generally fall into two categories:

         Permanent Records.  Records which are considered to be
         so valuable or unique in documenting the history of
         the Agency or for informational content that they
         should be preserved "forever" as part of the National
         Archives of the United States.

         Temporary Records.  Records created incidental to
         performance of the mission.  They are "operational",
         "support", and "service" type records which are
         considered to be of temporary value to the Agency and
         will be destroyed at some time.

    Only a very small percentage of government records are
permanent.  Most records are temporary and, by definition, have
a life cycle.  They are created, used, maintained, and
destroyed.  If records are not systematically disposed of/
there would not be sufficient office space to house them.  Many
EPA records become inactive or semi-inactive, yet we must
maintain them for operational or legal reasons.  Since we
cannot presently destroy these records, we must remove them
from active office space.  The solution is to box them and ship
them to a Federal Records Center.  These procedures are
described in Chapter 3 of the EPA Records Management Manual.

    The EPA Records Management Manual specifies official time
schedules for disposing of records or transferring them to a
Federal Records Center.  Retention schedules for administrative
records are contained in Appendix B and schedules for official
program-related records are contained in Appendix C of the EPA
Records Management Manual.

2.  PROCEDURES

    Responsibility                Action

    Records Coordinator 1.  Classify records, with assistance
                            from the professional staff, as
                            temporary or permanent records.

                            administrative and program subject
                            files annually.

                        3.  At the beginning of each calendar
                            year create new folders.  File all
                            documents in the new folders.   This
                            results in annual "blocks" of  files.

                        4.  As a general rule, keep most
                            subject files two or three years,
                            then send to the Federal Records
                            Center.

                        5.  For reading or "chron" files,  keep
                            in monthly folders.  Maintain  one
                            year and destroy.

                        6.  For reference materials,
                            periodically review to determine
                            usefulness of documents.  Consult
                            professional staff.  Destroy
                            outdated or extraneous materials.

    All 'Staff           7.  Personal or Convenience
                            Files - These files are not
                            official EPA records and are
                            maintained for the convenience of
                            the using office.  Destroy them
                            when no longer needed.  Be sure no
                            official documents are contained by
                            mistake.

Files Maintenance Plans

     The OIRM File system consists of two parts.  Part A deals
with "Administrative Records" and Part B deals with "Program
Records."

     This files system is a subject-numeric system.  It contains
an alphabetic three-letter prefix followed by a number.  The
alphabetic prefix identifies the primary subject heading and the
number identifies each sub-heading under the primary subject
heading.

A.   Subject Classification of Administrative Records

     The following is a list of subject headings used in
classifying administrative records for filing.  These records
include "house-keeping" or facilitative records that do not
relate directly to the programs or mission of your office.
