NARA Stops Publishing Records Schedule Updates in the Federal Register

## Summary

Starting November 12, 2026, NARA will stop announcing new General Records Schedule (GRS) updates in the Federal Register. Instead, agencies will get direct emails, and all updates will be posted instantly on NARA’s website. This change makes record-keeping smoother and faster for all federal agencies, with no extra costs or delays.

## Abstract

NARA is discontinuing the practice of publishing a separate notice in the Federal Register to announce the issuance of a new General Records Schedule (GRS) Transmittal. New GRS Transmittals, which provide mandatory disposition instructions for records common to several or all Federal agencies, will continue to be issued and made immediately available on NARA's website. Agencies will be notified of new Transmittals directly via email and other established communication channels.
