Legal Requirements
All records generated by the Laboratory under terms of its contract with DOE are considered institutional. As such, all Laboratory records are owned by the United States government, with the exception of:
- Employment-related records (excluding records being maintained in Privacy Act systems of records);
- Confidential JSA financial information and correspondence between JSA and other segments of JSA located away from the lab; procurement records (excluding records that are described as the property of the government under 48 CFR (DEAR) 970.5204-9, Accounts, Records and Inspection);
- legal records; and
- certain records maintained pursuant to the technology transfer clause of the contract.
Four primary laws related to federal records management:
- Federal Records Act of 1950, as amended
- Freedom of Information Act
- Privacy Act
- Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980
