What is typically reviewed to determine records that are no longer needed?

The SF Form 135, also known as the Records Transmittal and Receipt form, is essential for managing federal records. It serves as a tool to identify and categorize records that are eligible for transfer or disposal based on retention schedules. When determining which records are no longer needed, the information completed on the SF Form 135 provides a clear audit trail of records, indicating when they were created, their purpose, and when they should be destroyed or archived. This form acts as a formal request for the transfer of records to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) or for the destruction of those records that have reached the end of their retention period, making it the most relevant choice for reviewing records that are no longer needed.
