Record disposition refers to the transfer of records to a records storage facility, transfer of permanent records to the National Archives, the destruction of records, and other appropriate actions to dispose of records. Unless retrieved, records transferred to a storage facility will be destroyed after expiration of their retention requirements. However, the transferring facility will be notified prior the destruction of the records. The transferring facility will be notified by the storage facility that the records will become eligible for destruction in the near future. 4. PERMANENT AND UNSCHEDULED RECORDS: Agent Orange/Desert Storm, Persian Gulf, Radiation Exposure, employee, films labeled Do Not Destroy , etc. designated patient jackets are considered permanent records. Permanent (archival) records are defined as records that have been appraised by NARA to have sufficient historical value or other value to warrant permanent preservation at the National Archives. Unapprised and unscheduled records are records that have not been evaluated to determine their record retention value, i.e., retention and disposition standards. Such records are to be retained until disposition authority is received from the transferring facility or NARA. Location of performance VA Medical Center 921 NE 13th.
