R17-6-3. Records Storage and Disposal -- Archives Responsibility

  (1) The State Archives stores semi-active records at the State Records Center in accordance with the approved retention schedule. The State Records Center may accept records for which a proposed retention has been presented to the State Records Committee with the provision that if the committee does not approve the retention, the records will be returned to the agency.

  (2) The State Archives destroys records stored at the Records Center in accordance with the approved retention schedule and upon authorization from the creating agency. If the creating agency does not respond to the second request for authorized destruction within ninety (90) days, the records may be returned to the agency.

  (3) In the event that a record has met its scheduled retention requirements and the Records Center is unable to locate an authorized agency to provide destruction approval or the agency is obsolete, the records will become the official custody of the Utah State Archives and the State Archivist will determine the disposition of the records.
