Designation of Permanent (Historical) Cases

Review each closed case to determine if it meets any of the following criteria for permanent retention:

  1. The case had an impact on a statute, rule, regulation, or law enforcement policy, e.g., set a precedent.

  2. The case received local, regional or national media attention, or the interest of a Congressional committee or the Executive Office of the President, or widespread public interest.

When a closed case is designated as permanent, Section II, Item 1 of Form USA-207 shall be completed, and the case transferred under a separate accession to the Federal Records Center (FRC).
