PART 5: ELECTRONIC DATA PROCESSING RECORDS

 

 

 I.              This plan establishes retention periods for records essential to the creation, maintenance and use of electronic records (information recorded in a form for computer processing including data, graphics, digital images. multi-media records, etc.) and records related to computer operations/technical support not covered elsewhere in this schedule.  Records in this plan may be maintained on whatever medium is appropriate including electronic (on-line, magnetic tape, optical disk, CD-ROM, etc.), paper, and microfilm.

 

 

IV.            Other types of records may be maintained electronically that are listed elsewhere in this schedule, such as administrative, fiscal, personnel, and support services records, or in other specialized schedules adopted by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission such as Local Schedule SD (Records of School Districts), etc. The retention period for those electronic records will be as specified under the appropriate records series item number according to the function of the information. For example, if an electronic system is used to maintain encumbrance and expenditure reports, the retention period for these electronic records would be 2 years as specified in item number 1025-04(d). Retention requirements apply to records maintained on all types of electronic systems including mainframe. minicomputer, microcomputer, local-area-network based systems. etc.

Administrative rules of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission (13 TAC 7.71-779) require that retention procedures for electronic records with an approved retention of 10 years or more must include provisions for scheduling the disposition of the electronic records as well as related software. documentation, and indexes, and for regular recopying, reformatting. and other necessary maintenance or conversion activities to ensure the retention and stability of electronic records until the expiration of their retention periods.

If automated information is copied to paper or microfilm to create the official record, the electronic files do not have to be maintained for the full retention period of the record. The added value of electronic files for facilitating retrieval, making queries, providing for automated audit trails, etc., should be carefully reviewed prior to destruction of the electronic files even though there is an official record in another medium.
