Withdrawal of Records Schedules-Bureau of Counterterrorism 1 message

Lisa Clavelli ltlisaclavellinaragovgt Tue Nov 8 2016 at 613 PM To Timothy J Kootz ltKootzT Jstategovgt Cc Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt Sean Curry ltseancurrynaragovgt Meredith Scheiber ltmeredithscheibernaragovgt Shelia Prince ltprincesastategovgt

Mr Kootz

Please accept this email as notice the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) will be withdrawingreturning without action the following proposed records schedules for the Bureau of Counterterrorism These schedules will be returned to the Department of State in ERA shortly

DAA-0059-2014-0009 Office of Operations DAA-0059-2014-0010 Office of Multilateral Affairs DM-0059-2014-0011 Office of Designations and Sanctions DAA-0059-2014-0012 Office of Homeland Security DAA-0059-2014-0013 Office of Terrorist Screening and Interdiction Programs DAA-0059-2014-0014 Office of Regional Affairs and Programs

As discussed since the appraisal of these schedules in the summer and fall of 2014 the Bureau has undergone extensive restructuring as well as an expansion in its mission to now include international engagement and assistance efforts to counter violent extremism

Since these changes NARA has tried to determine with the Department whether we could proceed with processing the schedules We have encountered difficulty receiving responses to questions relating to schedules andor revisions to schedules--which we believe originates from CT program offices Given the amount of time which has passed since the appraisal visits in conjunction with the reorganization that has occurred and the larger scheduling initiative the Department is pursuing to meet the requirements of the Managing Government Records Directive (M-12-18) we feel it is appropriate to withdraw these schedules at this time

Please let me remind the Department in the withdrawal of these schedules any records within the Bureau of Counterterrorism which currently do not have an approved disposition authority from NARA are unscheduled and must be treated as permanent until there is an NARA approved authority for those records

We look forward to working with the Department in the future on this and other scheduling efforts Please let me know if you have any questions

Thank you Lisa R Clavelli

Thank you for providing this additional information

We appreciate that ACRA agrees that this is an important Bureau and that records will be recommended for permanent retention as appropriate

Our understanding of historic Department of State record-keeping practices is that as bureaus and offices grow larger sub-components begin to maintain their own records As you note the office responsible for countershy terrorism issues has been growing in size and prominence for the past several years and stood up as a Bureau in 2012 I In your correspondence you note that the Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent i records Are the remaining permanent records created or maintained in the Office of Regional Affairs and Programs Or are the remaining permanent files created and maintained at other lower level offices

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

Withdrawal of Records Schedules-Bureau of Counterterrorism 1 message

Lisa Clavelli ltlisaclavellinaragovgt Tue Nov 8 2016 at 613 PM To Timothy J Kootz ltKootzT Jstategovgt Cc Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt Sean Curry ltseancurrynaragovgt Meredith Scheiber ltmeredithscheibernaragovgt Shelia Prince ltprincesastategovgt

Mr Kootz

Please accept this email as notice the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) will be withdrawingreturning without action the following proposed records schedules for the Bureau of Counterterrorism These schedules will be returned to the Department of State in ERA shortly

DAA-0059-2014-0009 Office of Operations DAA-0059-2014-0010 Office of Multilateral Affairs DM-0059-2014-0011 Office of Designations and Sanctions DAA-0059-2014-0012 Office of Homeland Security DAA-0059-2014-0013 Office of Terrorist Screening and Interdiction Programs DAA-0059-2014-0014 Office of Regional Affairs and Programs

As discussed since the appraisal of these schedules in the summer and fall of 2014 the Bureau has undergone extensive restructuring as well as an expansion in its mission to now include international engagement and assistance efforts to counter violent extremism

Since these changes NARA has tried to determine with the Department whether we could proceed with processing the schedules We have encountered difficulty receiving responses to questions relating to schedules andor revisions to schedules--which we believe originates from CT program offices Given the amount of time which has passed since the appraisal visits in conjunction with the reorganization that has occurred and the larger scheduling initiative the Department is pursuing to meet the requirements of the Managing Government Records Directive (M-12-18) we feel it is appropriate to withdraw these schedules at this time

Please let me remind the Department in the withdrawal of these schedules any records within the Bureau of Counterterrorism which currently do not have an approved disposition authority from NARA are unscheduled and must be treated as permanent until there is an NARA approved authority for those records

We look forward to working with the Department in the future on this and other scheduling efforts Please let me know if you have any questions

Thank you Lisa R Clavelli

Hi Meghan middot During the appraisal Regional Affairs Programs (RAP) program staff conveyed established business process requires substantive infonnation flows up to the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of i Counterterrorism as one example As noted before we rely on the representations made by the agency

the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs in job number N1-59-95-17

ACRA feels the mission and activities of this office are well documented and designated for preservation by the middot National Archives in other Department records schedules I

Lastly as no records were bein6mmended for permanent retention is it n9quired for volume to be noted in the appraisal report

Our understanding of historic Department of State record-keeping practices is that as bureaus and offices grow larger sub-components begin to maintain their own records As you note the office responsible for countershy terrorism issues has been growing in size and prominence for the past several years and stood up as a Bureau in 2012 I In your correspondence you note that the Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent i records Are the remaining permanent records created or maintained in the Office of Regional Affairs and Programs Or are the remaining permanent files created and maintained at other lower level offices

i In your the course of your appraisal did you note the volume and estimated annual accumulation for the Program Files

INTRODUCTION

Schedule Overview Bureau of Counterterrorism Office of Regional Affairs and Programs

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation ofa special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau ofCounterterrorism in 2012

The Office of Regional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional policy issues

Good afternoon

Thank you for providing the additional information

In light of this summary and the information provided in the accessioning report RDT suggests that the Department of State be required to update the description of item 1 to more explicitly state that these records are duplicate copies only

In the change memo the language suggested is and update to These files include but are not limited to copies of ROT suggests this be altered to These files are copies of to more clearly state that this schedule item only applies to copies of material transmitted to the Front Office

On Mon Sep 26 2016 at 158 PM Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt wrote Hi Meghan During the appraisal Regional Affairs Programs (RAP) program staff conveyed established business process requires substantive information flows up to the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism as one example As noted before we rely on the representations made by the agency

Our appraisal has determined records that warrant permanent retention include those signed by the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism Documents formally signed middotandor approved by these two positions include but are not limited to policy strategic planning correspondence position papers briefing materials and formal agreements These records are found in the Front Office appraised as permanent in job number DAA-0059-2014-0024 item 0001 Front Office Program Files

RAP works closely with the geographicregional bureaus to develop country-specific policies position papers and other products Those items prepared for geographic offices are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for those bureaus For example products associated with Iraq Egypt Syria are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs in job number N1-59-95-17

ACRA feels the mission and activities of this office are well documented and designated for preservation by the National Archives in other Department records schedules

Lastly as no records were being recommended for permanent retention is it not required for volume to be noted in the appraisal report

Please let me know if this answers RDTs questions concerning schedule DAA-0059-2014-00014 If you could please respond by COB on 10102016

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

Withdrawal of Records Schedules-Bureau of Counterterrorism 1 message

Lisa Clavelli ltlisaclavellinaragovgt Tue Nov 8 2016 at 613 PM To Timothy J Kootz ltKootzT Jstategovgt Cc Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt Sean Curry ltseancurrynaragovgt Meredith Scheiber ltmeredithscheibernaragovgt Shelia Prince ltprincesastategovgt

Mr Kootz

Please accept this email as notice the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) will be withdrawingreturning without action the following proposed records schedules for the Bureau of Counterterrorism These schedules will be returned to the Department of State in ERA shortly

DAA-0059-2014-0009 Office of Operations DAA-0059-2014-0010 Office of Multilateral Affairs DM-0059-2014-0011 Office of Designations and Sanctions DAA-0059-2014-0012 Office of Homeland Security DAA-0059-2014-0013 Office of Terrorist Screening and Interdiction Programs DAA-0059-2014-0014 Office of Regional Affairs and Programs

As discussed since the appraisal of these schedules in the summer and fall of 2014 the Bureau has undergone extensive restructuring as well as an expansion in its mission to now include international engagement and assistance efforts to counter violent extremism

Since these changes NARA has tried to determine with the Department whether we could proceed with processing the schedules We have encountered difficulty receiving responses to questions relating to schedules andor revisions to schedules--which we believe originates from CT program offices Given the amount of time which has passed since the appraisal visits in conjunction with the reorganization that has occurred and the larger scheduling initiative the Department is pursuing to meet the requirements of the Managing Government Records Directive (M-12-18) we feel it is appropriate to withdraw these schedules at this time

Please let me remind the Department in the withdrawal of these schedules any records within the Bureau of Counterterrorism which currently do not have an approved disposition authority from NARA are unscheduled and must be treated as permanent until there is an NARA approved authority for those records

We look forward to working with the Department in the future on this and other scheduling efforts Please let me know if you have any questions

Thank you Lisa R Clavelli

Schedule Overview Bureau of Counterterrorism Office of Regional Affairs and Programs

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation ofa special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau ofCounterterrorism in 2012

The Office of Regional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional policy issues

INTRODUCTION

Schedule Overview Bureau ofCounterterrorism Office ofRegional Affairs and Programs

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation of a special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau of Counterterrorism in 2012

The Office ofRegional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional polic~ issues

RAP supervises the geographic offices and manages their production of counterterrorism-related assessments analyses briefing papers and other products regarding counterterrorism policy across all regions

RAP coordinates with the other Department of States geopolitical regional and functional bureaus as well as other US Government agencies to develop and implement country-specific counterterrorism outreach training and bilateral policies and programs NOTE Since the appraisal visit this office has changed its name to Regional and Multilateral Affairs DOS will be required to update the office information in ERA before the schedule goes forward for approval

Overall Recommendation I recommend approval with proposed changes to one or more items as provided below

Item 0001 Program Files Examples of records in this office include position papers policy statements and policy guidance During the appraisal visit and through follow-up discussion it was determined that the record copy of items created in this office are sent to and retained in the Front Office NOTE The item description will need to be edited to reflect the nature of the records of this level of the Bureau NARA recommends adding the word copies to the second sentence of the item description as follows These files include copies of all Proposed Disposition Permanent Appropriateness of Proposed Disposition Requires change Recommended Disposition Temporary Appraisal Justification

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

Withdrawal of Records Schedules-Bureau of Counterterrorism 1 message

Lisa Clavelli ltlisaclavellinaragovgt Tue Nov 8 2016 at 613 PM To Timothy J Kootz ltKootzT Jstategovgt Cc Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt Sean Curry ltseancurrynaragovgt Meredith Scheiber ltmeredithscheibernaragovgt Shelia Prince ltprincesastategovgt

Mr Kootz

Please accept this email as notice the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) will be withdrawingreturning without action the following proposed records schedules for the Bureau of Counterterrorism These schedules will be returned to the Department of State in ERA shortly

DAA-0059-2014-0009 Office of Operations DAA-0059-2014-0010 Office of Multilateral Affairs DM-0059-2014-0011 Office of Designations and Sanctions DAA-0059-2014-0012 Office of Homeland Security DAA-0059-2014-0013 Office of Terrorist Screening and Interdiction Programs DAA-0059-2014-0014 Office of Regional Affairs and Programs

As discussed since the appraisal of these schedules in the summer and fall of 2014 the Bureau has undergone extensive restructuring as well as an expansion in its mission to now include international engagement and assistance efforts to counter violent extremism

Since these changes NARA has tried to determine with the Department whether we could proceed with processing the schedules We have encountered difficulty receiving responses to questions relating to schedules andor revisions to schedules--which we believe originates from CT program offices Given the amount of time which has passed since the appraisal visits in conjunction with the reorganization that has occurred and the larger scheduling initiative the Department is pursuing to meet the requirements of the Managing Government Records Directive (M-12-18) we feel it is appropriate to withdraw these schedules at this time

Please let me remind the Department in the withdrawal of these schedules any records within the Bureau of Counterterrorism which currently do not have an approved disposition authority from NARA are unscheduled and must be treated as permanent until there is an NARA approved authority for those records

We look forward to working with the Department in the future on this and other scheduling efforts Please let me know if you have any questions

Thank you Lisa R Clavelli

Thank you for providing this additional information

We appreciate that ACRA agrees that this is an important Bureau and that records will be recommended for permanent retention as appropriate

Our understanding of historic Department of State record-keeping practices is that as bureaus and offices grow larger sub-components begin to maintain their own records As you note the office responsible for countershy terrorism issues has been growing in size and prominence for the past several years and stood up as a Bureau in 2012 I In your correspondence you note that the Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent i records Are the remaining permanent records created or maintained in the Office of Regional Affairs and Programs Or are the remaining permanent files created and maintained at other lower level offices

INTRODUCTION

Schedule Overview Bureau of Counterterrorism Office of Regional Affairs and Programs

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation ofa special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau ofCounterterrorism in 2012

The Office of Regional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional policy issues

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

Withdrawal of Records Schedules-Bureau of Counterterrorism 1 message

Lisa Clavelli ltlisaclavellinaragovgt Tue Nov 8 2016 at 613 PM To Timothy J Kootz ltKootzT Jstategovgt Cc Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt Sean Curry ltseancurrynaragovgt Meredith Scheiber ltmeredithscheibernaragovgt Shelia Prince ltprincesastategovgt

Mr Kootz

Please accept this email as notice the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) will be withdrawingreturning without action the following proposed records schedules for the Bureau of Counterterrorism These schedules will be returned to the Department of State in ERA shortly

DAA-0059-2014-0009 Office of Operations DAA-0059-2014-0010 Office of Multilateral Affairs DM-0059-2014-0011 Office of Designations and Sanctions DAA-0059-2014-0012 Office of Homeland Security DAA-0059-2014-0013 Office of Terrorist Screening and Interdiction Programs DAA-0059-2014-0014 Office of Regional Affairs and Programs

As discussed since the appraisal of these schedules in the summer and fall of 2014 the Bureau has undergone extensive restructuring as well as an expansion in its mission to now include international engagement and assistance efforts to counter violent extremism

Since these changes NARA has tried to determine with the Department whether we could proceed with processing the schedules We have encountered difficulty receiving responses to questions relating to schedules andor revisions to schedules--which we believe originates from CT program offices Given the amount of time which has passed since the appraisal visits in conjunction with the reorganization that has occurred and the larger scheduling initiative the Department is pursuing to meet the requirements of the Managing Government Records Directive (M-12-18) we feel it is appropriate to withdraw these schedules at this time

Please let me remind the Department in the withdrawal of these schedules any records within the Bureau of Counterterrorism which currently do not have an approved disposition authority from NARA are unscheduled and must be treated as permanent until there is an NARA approved authority for those records

We look forward to working with the Department in the future on this and other scheduling efforts Please let me know if you have any questions

Thank you Lisa R Clavelli

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation ofa special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau ofCounterterrorism in 2012

INTRODUCTION

Schedule Overview Bureau ofCounterterrorism Office ofRegional Affairs and Programs

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation of a special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau of Counterterrorism in 2012

The Office ofRegional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional polic~ issues

RAP supervises the geographic offices and manages their production of counterterrorism-related assessments analyses briefing papers and other products regarding counterterrorism policy across all regions

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

Withdrawal of Records Schedules-Bureau of Counterterrorism 1 message

Lisa Clavelli ltlisaclavellinaragovgt Tue Nov 8 2016 at 613 PM To Timothy J Kootz ltKootzT Jstategovgt Cc Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt Sean Curry ltseancurrynaragovgt Meredith Scheiber ltmeredithscheibernaragovgt Shelia Prince ltprincesastategovgt

Mr Kootz

Please accept this email as notice the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) will be withdrawingreturning without action the following proposed records schedules for the Bureau of Counterterrorism These schedules will be returned to the Department of State in ERA shortly

DAA-0059-2014-0009 Office of Operations DAA-0059-2014-0010 Office of Multilateral Affairs DM-0059-2014-0011 Office of Designations and Sanctions DAA-0059-2014-0012 Office of Homeland Security DAA-0059-2014-0013 Office of Terrorist Screening and Interdiction Programs DAA-0059-2014-0014 Office of Regional Affairs and Programs

As discussed since the appraisal of these schedules in the summer and fall of 2014 the Bureau has undergone extensive restructuring as well as an expansion in its mission to now include international engagement and assistance efforts to counter violent extremism

Since these changes NARA has tried to determine with the Department whether we could proceed with processing the schedules We have encountered difficulty receiving responses to questions relating to schedules andor revisions to schedules--which we believe originates from CT program offices Given the amount of time which has passed since the appraisal visits in conjunction with the reorganization that has occurred and the larger scheduling initiative the Department is pursuing to meet the requirements of the Managing Government Records Directive (M-12-18) we feel it is appropriate to withdraw these schedules at this time

Please let me remind the Department in the withdrawal of these schedules any records within the Bureau of Counterterrorism which currently do not have an approved disposition authority from NARA are unscheduled and must be treated as permanent until there is an NARA approved authority for those records

We look forward to working with the Department in the future on this and other scheduling efforts Please let me know if you have any questions

Thank you Lisa R Clavelli

Hi Meghan middot During the appraisal Regional Affairs Programs (RAP) program staff conveyed established business process requires substantive infonnation flows up to the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of i Counterterrorism as one example As noted before we rely on the representations made by the agency

Lastly as no records were bein6mmended for permanent retention is it n9quired for volume to be noted in the appraisal report

Thank you for providing this additional information

We appreciate that ACRA agrees that this is an important Bureau and that records will be recommended for permanent retention as appropriate

Our understanding of historic Department of State record-keeping practices is that as bureaus and offices grow larger sub-components begin to maintain their own records As you note the office responsible for countershy terrorism issues has been growing in size and prominence for the past several years and stood up as a Bureau in 2012 I In your correspondence you note that the Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent i records Are the remaining permanent records created or maintained in the Office of Regional Affairs and Programs Or are the remaining permanent files created and maintained at other lower level offices

INTRODUCTION

Schedule Overview Bureau of Counterterrorism Office of Regional Affairs and Programs

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation ofa special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau ofCounterterrorism in 2012

The Office of Regional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional policy issues

Good afternoon

Thank you for providing the additional information

In light of this summary and the information provided in the accessioning report RDT suggests that the Department of State be required to update the description of item 1 to more explicitly state that these records are duplicate copies only

In the change memo the language suggested is and update to These files include but are not limited to copies of ROT suggests this be altered to These files are copies of to more clearly state that this schedule item only applies to copies of material transmitted to the Front Office

On Mon Sep 26 2016 at 158 PM Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt wrote Hi Meghan During the appraisal Regional Affairs Programs (RAP) program staff conveyed established business process requires substantive information flows up to the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism as one example As noted before we rely on the representations made by the agency

Our appraisal has determined records that warrant permanent retention include those signed by the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism Documents formally signed middotandor approved by these two positions include but are not limited to policy strategic planning correspondence position papers briefing materials and formal agreements These records are found in the Front Office appraised as permanent in job number DAA-0059-2014-0024 item 0001 Front Office Program Files

RAP works closely with the geographicregional bureaus to develop country-specific policies position papers and other products Those items prepared for geographic offices are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for those bureaus For example products associated with Iraq Egypt Syria are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs in job number N1-59-95-17

ACRA feels the mission and activities of this office are well documented and designated for preservation by the National Archives in other Department records schedules

Lastly as no records were being recommended for permanent retention is it not required for volume to be noted in the appraisal report

Please let me know if this answers RDTs questions concerning schedule DAA-0059-2014-00014 If you could please respond by COB on 10102016

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

Mr Kootz

Please accept this email as notice the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) will be withdrawingreturning without action the following proposed records schedules for the Bureau of Counterterrorism These schedules will be returned to the Department of State in ERA shortly

DAA-0059-2014-0009 Office of Operations DAA-0059-2014-0010 Office of Multilateral Affairs DM-0059-2014-0011 Office of Designations and Sanctions DAA-0059-2014-0012 Office of Homeland Security DAA-0059-2014-0013 Office of Terrorist Screening and Interdiction Programs DAA-0059-2014-0014 Office of Regional Affairs and Programs

As discussed since the appraisal of these schedules in the summer and fall of 2014 the Bureau has undergone extensive restructuring as well as an expansion in its mission to now include international engagement and assistance efforts to counter violent extremism

Since these changes NARA has tried to determine with the Department whether we could proceed with processing the schedules We have encountered difficulty receiving responses to questions relating to schedules andor revisions to schedules--which we believe originates from CT program offices Given the amount of time which has passed since the appraisal visits in conjunction with the reorganization that has occurred and the larger scheduling initiative the Department is pursuing to meet the requirements of the Managing Government Records Directive (M-12-18) we feel it is appropriate to withdraw these schedules at this time

Please let me remind the Department in the withdrawal of these schedules any records within the Bureau of Counterterrorism which currently do not have an approved disposition authority from NARA are unscheduled and must be treated as permanent until there is an NARA approved authority for those records

We look forward to working with the Department in the future on this and other scheduling efforts Please let me know if you have any questions

Thank you Lisa R Clavelli

We appreciate that ACRA agrees that this is an important Bureau and that records will be recommended for permanent retention as appropriate

Schedule Overview Bureau of Counterterrorism Office of Regional Affairs and Programs

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation ofa special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau ofCounterterrorism in 2012

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation of a special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau of Counterterrorism in 2012

The Office ofRegional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional polic~ issues

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

Thank you for providing this additional information

We appreciate that ACRA agrees that this is an important Bureau and that records will be recommended for permanent retention as appropriate

Our understanding of historic Department of State record-keeping practices is that as bureaus and offices grow larger sub-components begin to maintain their own records As you note the office responsible for countershy terrorism issues has been growing in size and prominence for the past several years and stood up as a Bureau in 2012 I In your correspondence you note that the Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent i records Are the remaining permanent records created or maintained in the Office of Regional Affairs and Programs Or are the remaining permanent files created and maintained at other lower level offices

i In your the course of your appraisal did you note the volume and estimated annual accumulation for the Program Files

I I recommended for permanent retention by ACRA if appropriate We are not recommending permanent retention for item 1 as the item is a mixture of copies of guidance reference material and duplicative information sent to the Front Office Business process in CT are no different than other bureaus despite the subject matter The Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent records while the lower level offices maintain working files and copies of records sent to the Front Office for retention

During the appraisal visit as well as in follow up emails to the Department it was confirmed by the program middot office information and product that is of research value is sent to the Front Office The recordkeeping copy is maintained by the Front Office (appraised in job number DM-0059-2014-0024)

INTRODUCTION

Schedule Overview Bureau of Counterterrorism Office of Regional Affairs and Programs

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation ofa special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau ofCounterterrorism in 2012

The Office of Regional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional policy issues

RAP coordinates with the other Department of States geopolitical regional and functional bureaus as well as other US Government agencies to develop and implement country-specific counterterrorism outreach training and bilateral policies and programs NOTE Since the appraisal visit this office has changed its name to Regional and Multilateral Affairs DOS will be required to update the office information in ERA before the schedule goes forward for approval

Overall Recommendation I recommend approval with proposed changes to one or more items as provided below

APPRAISAL

Item 0001 Program Files Examples of records in this office include position papers policy statements and policy guidance During the appraisal visit and through follow-up discussion it was determined that the record copy of items created in this office are sent to and retained in the Front Office NOTE The item description will need to be edited to reflect the nature or the records of this level of the Bureau NARA recommends adding editing the second sentence of the item description to read These files are copies of policy plans and strategic plans Proposed Disposition Permanent Appropriateness of Proposed Disposition Requires change Recommended Disposition Temporary Appraisal Justification

Good afternoon

Thank you for providing the additional information

In light of this summary and the information provided in the accessioning report RDT suggests that the Department of State be required to update the description of item 1 to more explicitly state that these records are duplicate copies only

In the change memo the language suggested is and update to These files include but are not limited to copies of ROT suggests this be altered to These files are copies of to more clearly state that this schedule item only applies to copies of material transmitted to the Front Office

On Mon Sep 26 2016 at 158 PM Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt wrote Hi Meghan During the appraisal Regional Affairs Programs (RAP) program staff conveyed established business process requires substantive information flows up to the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism as one example As noted before we rely on the representations made by the agency

Our appraisal has determined records that warrant permanent retention include those signed by the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism Documents formally signed middotandor approved by these two positions include but are not limited to policy strategic planning correspondence position papers briefing materials and formal agreements These records are found in the Front Office appraised as permanent in job number DAA-0059-2014-0024 item 0001 Front Office Program Files

RAP works closely with the geographicregional bureaus to develop country-specific policies position papers and other products Those items prepared for geographic offices are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for those bureaus For example products associated with Iraq Egypt Syria are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs in job number N1-59-95-17

ACRA feels the mission and activities of this office are well documented and designated for preservation by the National Archives in other Department records schedules

Lastly as no records were being recommended for permanent retention is it not required for volume to be noted in the appraisal report

Please let me know if this answers RDTs questions concerning schedule DAA-0059-2014-00014 If you could please respond by COB on 10102016

We appreciate that ACRA agrmhat this is an important Bureau and that rec9 will be recommended for permanent retention as appropriate

Our understanding of historic Department of State record-keeping practices is that as bureaus and offices grow larger sub-components begin to maintain their own records As you note the office responsible for counter-terrorism issues has been growing in size and prominence for the past several years and stood up as a Bureau in 2012

In your correspondence you note that the Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent records Are the remaining permanent records created or maintained in the Office of Regional Affairs and Programs Or are the remaining permanent files created and maintained at other lower level offices

In your the course of your appraisal did you note the volume and estimated annual accumulation for the Program Files

On Wed Aug 10 2016 at 244 PM Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt wrote Hi Meghan

In discussions related to the CTFront Office schedule as well as the larger group of CT schedules we made no explicit promise there would be permanent records on each and all of the lower level offices What was conveyed in these discussions was that ACRA agrees this is an important Bureau and records will be recommended for permanent retention by ACRA if appropriate We are not recommending permanent retention for item 1 as the item is a mixture of copies of guidance reference material and duplicative information sent to the Front Office Business process in CT are no different than other bureaus despite the subject matter The Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent records while the lower level offices maintain working files and copies of records sent to the Front Office for retention

During the appraisal visit as well as in follow up emails to the Department it was confirmed by the program office information and product that is of research value is sent to the Front Office The recordkeeping copy is maintained by the Front Office (appraised in job number DM-0059-2014-0024)

Please let me know if you have further questions about this schedule

I was surprised to see the change proposed for Item 1 In the discussions surrounding the schedule for the Front Office files it was made clear that there would be additional permanent records scheduled out of this Bureau

I know structured SHU meetings are fading away and we have a delivery Wednesday morning anyway Do you have time at another point to discuss this schedule next week

Thanks

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

Thank you for providing this additional information

We appreciate that ACRA agrees that this is an important Bureau and that records will be recommended for permanent retention as appropriate

Our understanding of historic Department of State record-keeping practices is that as bureaus and offices grow larger sub-components begin to maintain their own records As you note the office responsible for countershy terrorism issues has been growing in size and prominence for the past several years and stood up as a Bureau in 2012 I In your correspondence you note that the Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent i records Are the remaining permanent records created or maintained in the Office of Regional Affairs and Programs Or are the remaining permanent files created and maintained at other lower level offices

INTRODUCTION

Schedule Overview Bureau of Counterterrorism Office of Regional Affairs and Programs

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation ofa special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau ofCounterterrorism in 2012

The Office of Regional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional policy issues

RAP supervises the geographic offices and manages their production of counterterrorism-related assessments analyses briefing papers and other products regarding counterterrorism policy across all regions

Good afternoon

Thank you for providing the additional information

In light of this summary and the information provided in the accessioning report RDT suggests that the Department of State be required to update the description of item 1 to more explicitly state that these records are duplicate copies only

In the change memo the language suggested is and update to These files include but are not limited to copies of ROT suggests this be altered to These files are copies of to more clearly state that this schedule item only applies to copies of material transmitted to the Front Office

On Mon Sep 26 2016 at 158 PM Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt wrote Hi Meghan During the appraisal Regional Affairs Programs (RAP) program staff conveyed established business process requires substantive information flows up to the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism as one example As noted before we rely on the representations made by the agency

Our appraisal has determined records that warrant permanent retention include those signed by the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism Documents formally signed middotandor approved by these two positions include but are not limited to policy strategic planning correspondence position papers briefing materials and formal agreements These records are found in the Front Office appraised as permanent in job number DAA-0059-2014-0024 item 0001 Front Office Program Files

RAP works closely with the geographicregional bureaus to develop country-specific policies position papers and other products Those items prepared for geographic offices are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for those bureaus For example products associated with Iraq Egypt Syria are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs in job number N1-59-95-17

ACRA feels the mission and activities of this office are well documented and designated for preservation by the National Archives in other Department records schedules

Lastly as no records were being recommended for permanent retention is it not required for volume to be noted in the appraisal report

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

INTRODUCTION

Schedule Overview Bureau of Counterterrorism Office of Regional Affairs and Programs

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation ofa special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau ofCounterterrorism in 2012

The Office of Regional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional policy issues

RAP supervises the geographic offices and manages their production of counterterrorism-related assessments analyses briefing papers and other products regarding counterterrorism policy across all regions

Good afternoon

Thank you for providing the additional information

In light of this summary and the information provided in the accessioning report RDT suggests that the Department of State be required to update the description of item 1 to more explicitly state that these records are duplicate copies only

In the change memo the language suggested is and update to These files include but are not limited to copies of ROT suggests this be altered to These files are copies of to more clearly state that this schedule item only applies to copies of material transmitted to the Front Office

Meg

On Mon Sep 26 2016 at 158 PM Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt wrote Hi Meghan During the appraisal Regional Affairs Programs (RAP) program staff conveyed established business process requires substantive information flows up to the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism as one example As noted before we rely on the representations made by the agency

Our appraisal has determined records that warrant permanent retention include those signed by the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism Documents formally signed middotandor approved by these two positions include but are not limited to policy strategic planning correspondence position papers briefing materials and formal agreements These records are found in the Front Office appraised as permanent in job number DAA-0059-2014-0024 item 0001 Front Office Program Files

RAP works closely with the geographicregional bureaus to develop country-specific policies position papers and other products Those items prepared for geographic offices are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for those bureaus For example products associated with Iraq Egypt Syria are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs in job number N1-59-95-17

ACRA feels the mission and activities of this office are well documented and designated for preservation by the National Archives in other Department records schedules

Lastly as no records were being recommended for permanent retention is it not required for volume to be noted in the appraisal report

Please let me know if this answers RDTs questions concerning schedule DAA-0059-2014-00014 If you could please respond by COB on 10102016

We appreciate that ACRA agrmhat this is an important Bureau and that rec9 will be recommended for permanent retention as appropriate

Our understanding of historic Department of State record-keeping practices is that as bureaus and offices grow larger sub-components begin to maintain their own records As you note the office responsible for counter-terrorism issues has been growing in size and prominence for the past several years and stood up as a Bureau in 2012

In your correspondence you note that the Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent records Are the remaining permanent records created or maintained in the Office of Regional Affairs and Programs Or are the remaining permanent files created and maintained at other lower level offices

In your the course of your appraisal did you note the volume and estimated annual accumulation for the Program Files

On Wed Aug 10 2016 at 244 PM Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt wrote Hi Meghan

In discussions related to the CTFront Office schedule as well as the larger group of CT schedules we made no explicit promise there would be permanent records on each and all of the lower level offices What was conveyed in these discussions was that ACRA agrees this is an important Bureau and records will be recommended for permanent retention by ACRA if appropriate We are not recommending permanent retention for item 1 as the item is a mixture of copies of guidance reference material and duplicative information sent to the Front Office Business process in CT are no different than other bureaus despite the subject matter The Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent records while the lower level offices maintain working files and copies of records sent to the Front Office for retention

During the appraisal visit as well as in follow up emails to the Department it was confirmed by the program office information and product that is of research value is sent to the Front Office The recordkeeping copy is maintained by the Front Office (appraised in job number DM-0059-2014-0024)

Please let me know if you have further questions about this schedule

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

INTRODUCTION

Schedule Overview Bureau of Counterterrorism Office of Regional Affairs and Programs

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation ofa special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau ofCounterterrorism in 2012

The Office of Regional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional policy issues

Good afternoon

Thank you for providing the additional information

In light of this summary and the information provided in the accessioning report RDT suggests that the Department of State be required to update the description of item 1 to more explicitly state that these records are duplicate copies only

In the change memo the language suggested is and update to These files include but are not limited to copies of ROT suggests this be altered to These files are copies of to more clearly state that this schedule item only applies to copies of material transmitted to the Front Office

On Mon Sep 26 2016 at 158 PM Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt wrote Hi Meghan During the appraisal Regional Affairs Programs (RAP) program staff conveyed established business process requires substantive information flows up to the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism as one example As noted before we rely on the representations made by the agency

Our appraisal has determined records that warrant permanent retention include those signed by the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism Documents formally signed middotandor approved by these two positions include but are not limited to policy strategic planning correspondence position papers briefing materials and formal agreements These records are found in the Front Office appraised as permanent in job number DAA-0059-2014-0024 item 0001 Front Office Program Files

RAP works closely with the geographicregional bureaus to develop country-specific policies position papers and other products Those items prepared for geographic offices are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for those bureaus For example products associated with Iraq Egypt Syria are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs in job number N1-59-95-17

ACRA feels the mission and activities of this office are well documented and designated for preservation by the National Archives in other Department records schedules

Lastly as no records were being recommended for permanent retention is it not required for volume to be noted in the appraisal report

Please let me know if this answers RDTs questions concerning schedule DAA-0059-2014-00014 If you could please respond by COB on 10102016

We appreciate that ACRA agrmhat this is an important Bureau and that rec9 will be recommended for permanent retention as appropriate

Our understanding of historic Department of State record-keeping practices is that as bureaus and offices grow larger sub-components begin to maintain their own records As you note the office responsible for counter-terrorism issues has been growing in size and prominence for the past several years and stood up as a Bureau in 2012

In your correspondence you note that the Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent records Are the remaining permanent records created or maintained in the Office of Regional Affairs and Programs Or are the remaining permanent files created and maintained at other lower level offices

In your the course of your appraisal did you note the volume and estimated annual accumulation for the Program Files

On Wed Aug 10 2016 at 244 PM Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt wrote Hi Meghan

In discussions related to the CTFront Office schedule as well as the larger group of CT schedules we made no explicit promise there would be permanent records on each and all of the lower level offices What was conveyed in these discussions was that ACRA agrees this is an important Bureau and records will be recommended for permanent retention by ACRA if appropriate We are not recommending permanent retention for item 1 as the item is a mixture of copies of guidance reference material and duplicative information sent to the Front Office Business process in CT are no different than other bureaus despite the subject matter The Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent records while the lower level offices maintain working files and copies of records sent to the Front Office for retention

During the appraisal visit as well as in follow up emails to the Department it was confirmed by the program office information and product that is of research value is sent to the Front Office The recordkeeping copy is maintained by the Front Office (appraised in job number DM-0059-2014-0024)

Please let me know if you have further questions about this schedule

I was surprised to see the change proposed for Item 1 In the discussions surrounding the schedule for the Front Office files it was made clear that there would be additional permanent records scheduled out of this Bureau

I know structured SHU meetings are fading away and we have a delivery Wednesday morning anyway Do you have time at another point to discuss this schedule next week

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

Good afternoon

Thank you for providing the additional information

In light of this summary and the information provided in the accessioning report RDT suggests that the Department of State be required to update the description of item 1 to more explicitly state that these records are duplicate copies only

In the change memo the language suggested is and update to These files include but are not limited to copies of ROT suggests this be altered to These files are copies of to more clearly state that this schedule item only applies to copies of material transmitted to the Front Office

On Mon Sep 26 2016 at 158 PM Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt wrote Hi Meghan During the appraisal Regional Affairs Programs (RAP) program staff conveyed established business process requires substantive information flows up to the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism as one example As noted before we rely on the representations made by the agency

Our appraisal has determined records that warrant permanent retention include those signed by the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism Documents formally signed middotandor approved by these two positions include but are not limited to policy strategic planning correspondence position papers briefing materials and formal agreements These records are found in the Front Office appraised as permanent in job number DAA-0059-2014-0024 item 0001 Front Office Program Files

RAP works closely with the geographicregional bureaus to develop country-specific policies position papers and other products Those items prepared for geographic offices are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for those bureaus For example products associated with Iraq Egypt Syria are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs in job number N1-59-95-17

ACRA feels the mission and activities of this office are well documented and designated for preservation by the National Archives in other Department records schedules

Lastly as no records were being recommended for permanent retention is it not required for volume to be noted in the appraisal report

Please let me know if this answers RDTs questions concerning schedule DAA-0059-2014-00014 If you could please respond by COB on 10102016

We appreciate that ACRA agrmhat this is an important Bureau and that rec9 will be recommended for permanent retention as appropriate

Our understanding of historic Department of State record-keeping practices is that as bureaus and offices grow larger sub-components begin to maintain their own records As you note the office responsible for counter-terrorism issues has been growing in size and prominence for the past several years and stood up as a Bureau in 2012

In your correspondence you note that the Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent records Are the remaining permanent records created or maintained in the Office of Regional Affairs and Programs Or are the remaining permanent files created and maintained at other lower level offices

In your the course of your appraisal did you note the volume and estimated annual accumulation for the Program Files

On Wed Aug 10 2016 at 244 PM Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt wrote Hi Meghan

In discussions related to the CTFront Office schedule as well as the larger group of CT schedules we made no explicit promise there would be permanent records on each and all of the lower level offices What was conveyed in these discussions was that ACRA agrees this is an important Bureau and records will be recommended for permanent retention by ACRA if appropriate We are not recommending permanent retention for item 1 as the item is a mixture of copies of guidance reference material and duplicative information sent to the Front Office Business process in CT are no different than other bureaus despite the subject matter The Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent records while the lower level offices maintain working files and copies of records sent to the Front Office for retention

During the appraisal visit as well as in follow up emails to the Department it was confirmed by the program office information and product that is of research value is sent to the Front Office The recordkeeping copy is maintained by the Front Office (appraised in job number DM-0059-2014-0024)

Please let me know if you have further questions about this schedule

I was surprised to see the change proposed for Item 1 In the discussions surrounding the schedule for the Front Office files it was made clear that there would be additional permanent records scheduled out of this Bureau

I know structured SHU meetings are fading away and we have a delivery Wednesday morning anyway Do you have time at another point to discuss this schedule next week

INTRODUCTION

Schedule Overview Bureau ofCounterterrorism Office ofRegional Affairs and Programs

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation of a special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau of Counterterrorism in 2012

The Office ofRegional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional polic~ issues

RAP supervises the geographic offices and manages their production of counterterrorism-related assessments analyses briefing papers and other products regarding counterterrorism policy across all regions

RAP coordinates with the other Department of States geopolitical regional and functional bureaus as well as other US Government agencies to develop and implement country-specific counterterrorism outreach training and bilateral policies and programs NOTE Since the appraisal visit this office has changed its name to Regional and Multilateral Affairs DOS will be required to update the office information in ERA before the schedule goes forward for approval

Overall Recommendation I recommend approval with proposed changes to one or more items as provided below

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

Good afternoon

Thank you for providing the additional information

In light of this summary and the information provided in the accessioning report RDT suggests that the Department of State be required to update the description of item 1 to more explicitly state that these records are duplicate copies only

In the change memo the language suggested is and update to These files include but are not limited to copies of ROT suggests this be altered to These files are copies of to more clearly state that this schedule item only applies to copies of material transmitted to the Front Office

On Mon Sep 26 2016 at 158 PM Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt wrote Hi Meghan During the appraisal Regional Affairs Programs (RAP) program staff conveyed established business process requires substantive information flows up to the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism as one example As noted before we rely on the representations made by the agency

Our appraisal has determined records that warrant permanent retention include those signed by the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism Documents formally signed middotandor approved by these two positions include but are not limited to policy strategic planning correspondence position papers briefing materials and formal agreements These records are found in the Front Office appraised as permanent in job number DAA-0059-2014-0024 item 0001 Front Office Program Files

RAP works closely with the geographicregional bureaus to develop country-specific policies position papers and other products Those items prepared for geographic offices are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for those bureaus For example products associated with Iraq Egypt Syria are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs in job number N1-59-95-17

ACRA feels the mission and activities of this office are well documented and designated for preservation by the National Archives in other Department records schedules

Lastly as no records were being recommended for permanent retention is it not required for volume to be noted in the appraisal report

Please let me know if this answers RDTs questions concerning schedule DAA-0059-2014-00014 If you could please respond by COB on 10102016

We appreciate that ACRA agrmhat this is an important Bureau and that rec9 will be recommended for permanent retention as appropriate

Our understanding of historic Department of State record-keeping practices is that as bureaus and offices grow larger sub-components begin to maintain their own records As you note the office responsible for counter-terrorism issues has been growing in size and prominence for the past several years and stood up as a Bureau in 2012

In your correspondence you note that the Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent records Are the remaining permanent records created or maintained in the Office of Regional Affairs and Programs Or are the remaining permanent files created and maintained at other lower level offices

In your the course of your appraisal did you note the volume and estimated annual accumulation for the Program Files

On Wed Aug 10 2016 at 244 PM Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt wrote Hi Meghan

In discussions related to the CTFront Office schedule as well as the larger group of CT schedules we made no explicit promise there would be permanent records on each and all of the lower level offices What was conveyed in these discussions was that ACRA agrees this is an important Bureau and records will be recommended for permanent retention by ACRA if appropriate We are not recommending permanent retention for item 1 as the item is a mixture of copies of guidance reference material and duplicative information sent to the Front Office Business process in CT are no different than other bureaus despite the subject matter The Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent records while the lower level offices maintain working files and copies of records sent to the Front Office for retention

During the appraisal visit as well as in follow up emails to the Department it was confirmed by the program office information and product that is of research value is sent to the Front Office The recordkeeping copy is maintained by the Front Office (appraised in job number DM-0059-2014-0024)

Please let me know if you have further questions about this schedule

I was surprised to see the change proposed for Item 1 In the discussions surrounding the schedule for the Front Office files it was made clear that there would be additional permanent records scheduled out of this Bureau

I know structured SHU meetings are fading away and we have a delivery Wednesday morning anyway Do you have time at another point to discuss this schedule next week

INTRODUCTION

Schedule Overview Bureau ofCounterterrorism Office ofRegional Affairs and Programs

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation of a special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau of Counterterrorism in 2012

The Office ofRegional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional polic~ issues

RAP supervises the geographic offices and manages their production of counterterrorism-related assessments analyses briefing papers and other products regarding counterterrorism policy across all regions

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

Good afternoon

Thank you for providing the additional information

In light of this summary and the information provided in the accessioning report RDT suggests that the Department of State be required to update the description of item 1 to more explicitly state that these records are duplicate copies only

In the change memo the language suggested is and update to These files include but are not limited to copies of ROT suggests this be altered to These files are copies of to more clearly state that this schedule item only applies to copies of material transmitted to the Front Office

On Mon Sep 26 2016 at 158 PM Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt wrote Hi Meghan During the appraisal Regional Affairs Programs (RAP) program staff conveyed established business process requires substantive information flows up to the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism as one example As noted before we rely on the representations made by the agency

Our appraisal has determined records that warrant permanent retention include those signed by the Deputy Secretary andor the Deputy Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Counterterrorism Documents formally signed middotandor approved by these two positions include but are not limited to policy strategic planning correspondence position papers briefing materials and formal agreements These records are found in the Front Office appraised as permanent in job number DAA-0059-2014-0024 item 0001 Front Office Program Files

RAP works closely with the geographicregional bureaus to develop country-specific policies position papers and other products Those items prepared for geographic offices are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for those bureaus For example products associated with Iraq Egypt Syria are captured in the records of the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs in job number N1-59-95-17

ACRA feels the mission and activities of this office are well documented and designated for preservation by the National Archives in other Department records schedules

Lastly as no records were being recommended for permanent retention is it not required for volume to be noted in the appraisal report

Please let me know if this answers RDTs questions concerning schedule DAA-0059-2014-00014 If you could please respond by COB on 10102016

We appreciate that ACRA agrmhat this is an important Bureau and that rec9 will be recommended for permanent retention as appropriate

Our understanding of historic Department of State record-keeping practices is that as bureaus and offices grow larger sub-components begin to maintain their own records As you note the office responsible for counter-terrorism issues has been growing in size and prominence for the past several years and stood up as a Bureau in 2012

In your correspondence you note that the Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent records Are the remaining permanent records created or maintained in the Office of Regional Affairs and Programs Or are the remaining permanent files created and maintained at other lower level offices

In your the course of your appraisal did you note the volume and estimated annual accumulation for the Program Files

On Wed Aug 10 2016 at 244 PM Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt wrote Hi Meghan

In discussions related to the CTFront Office schedule as well as the larger group of CT schedules we made no explicit promise there would be permanent records on each and all of the lower level offices What was conveyed in these discussions was that ACRA agrees this is an important Bureau and records will be recommended for permanent retention by ACRA if appropriate We are not recommending permanent retention for item 1 as the item is a mixture of copies of guidance reference material and duplicative information sent to the Front Office Business process in CT are no different than other bureaus despite the subject matter The Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent records while the lower level offices maintain working files and copies of records sent to the Front Office for retention

During the appraisal visit as well as in follow up emails to the Department it was confirmed by the program office information and product that is of research value is sent to the Front Office The recordkeeping copy is maintained by the Front Office (appraised in job number DM-0059-2014-0024)

Please let me know if you have further questions about this schedule

I was surprised to see the change proposed for Item 1 In the discussions surrounding the schedule for the Front Office files it was made clear that there would be additional permanent records scheduled out of this Bureau

I know structured SHU meetings are fading away and we have a delivery Wednesday morning anyway Do you have time at another point to discuss this schedule next week

INTRODUCTION

Schedule Overview Bureau ofCounterterrorism Office ofRegional Affairs and Programs

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation of a special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau of Counterterrorism in 2012

The Office ofRegional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional polic~ issues

RAP supervises the geographic offices and manages their production of counterterrorism-related assessments analyses briefing papers and other products regarding counterterrorism policy across all regions

RAP coordinates with the other Department of States geopolitical regional and functional bureaus as well as other US Government agencies to develop and implement country-specific counterterrorism outreach training and bilateral policies and programs NOTE Since the appraisal visit this office has changed its name to Regional and Multilateral Affairs DOS will be required to update the office information in ERA before the schedule goes forward for approval

Overall Recommendation I recommend approval with proposed changes to one or more items as provided below

Item 0001 Program Files Examples of records in this office include position papers policy statements and policy guidance During the appraisal visit and through follow-up discussion it was determined that the record copy of items created in this office are sent to and retained in the Front Office NOTE The item description will need to be edited to reflect the nature of the records of this level of the Bureau NARA recommends adding the word copies to the second sentence of the item description as follows These files include copies of all Proposed Disposition Permanent Appropriateness of Proposed Disposition Requires change Recommended Disposition Temporary Appraisal Justification

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

We appreciate that ACRA agrmhat this is an important Bureau and that rec9 will be recommended for permanent retention as appropriate

Our understanding of historic Department of State record-keeping practices is that as bureaus and offices grow larger sub-components begin to maintain their own records As you note the office responsible for counter-terrorism issues has been growing in size and prominence for the past several years and stood up as a Bureau in 2012

In your correspondence you note that the Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent records Are the remaining permanent records created or maintained in the Office of Regional Affairs and Programs Or are the remaining permanent files created and maintained at other lower level offices

In your the course of your appraisal did you note the volume and estimated annual accumulation for the Program Files

On Wed Aug 10 2016 at 244 PM Darryl Byrd ltdarrylbyrdnaragovgt wrote Hi Meghan

In discussions related to the CTFront Office schedule as well as the larger group of CT schedules we made no explicit promise there would be permanent records on each and all of the lower level offices What was conveyed in these discussions was that ACRA agrees this is an important Bureau and records will be recommended for permanent retention by ACRA if appropriate We are not recommending permanent retention for item 1 as the item is a mixture of copies of guidance reference material and duplicative information sent to the Front Office Business process in CT are no different than other bureaus despite the subject matter The Front Office receives and maintains a high percentage of permanent records while the lower level offices maintain working files and copies of records sent to the Front Office for retention

During the appraisal visit as well as in follow up emails to the Department it was confirmed by the program office information and product that is of research value is sent to the Front Office The recordkeeping copy is maintained by the Front Office (appraised in job number DM-0059-2014-0024)

Please let me know if you have further questions about this schedule

I was surprised to see the change proposed for Item 1 In the discussions surrounding the schedule for the Front Office files it was made clear that there would be additional permanent records scheduled out of this Bureau

I know structured SHU meetings are fading away and we have a delivery Wednesday morning anyway Do you have time at another point to discuss this schedule next week

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

INTRODUCTION

Schedule Overview Bureau ofCounterterrorism Office ofRegional Affairs and Programs

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation of a special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau of Counterterrorism in 2012

The Office ofRegional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional polic~ issues

RAP supervises the geographic offices and manages their production of counterterrorism-related assessments analyses briefing papers and other products regarding counterterrorism policy across all regions

RAP coordinates with the other Department of States geopolitical regional and functional bureaus as well as other US Government agencies to develop and implement country-specific counterterrorism outreach training and bilateral policies and programs NOTE Since the appraisal visit this office has changed its name to Regional and Multilateral Affairs DOS will be required to update the office information in ERA before the schedule goes forward for approval

Overall Recommendation I recommend approval with proposed changes to one or more items as provided below

INTRODUCTION

Schedule Overview Bureau ofCounterterrorism Office ofRegional Affairs and Programs

Additional Background Information The Bureau of Counterterrorism leads the Department of State in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the United States against foreign terrorist threats The predecessor organization to the Bureau of Counterterrorism was the Office for Combating Terrorism created in 1972 upon the recommendation of a special committee appointed by President Richard Nixon following the terrorist attack at the Munich Olympics The committee determined that an office was needed within the Department of State to provide day-to-day counterterrorism coordination and to develop policy initiatives and responses for the US government The Office for Combating Terrorism became the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism in 1985 and the Bureau of Counterterrorism in 2012

The Office ofRegional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional polic~ issues

RAP supervises the geographic offices and manages their production of counterterrorism-related assessments analyses briefing papers and other products regarding counterterrorism policy across all regions

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

The Office ofRegional Affairs and Programs (RAP) participates in the development of counterterrorism policy This office also oversees the production of counterterrorism policy discussion papers for States participation in internal and interagency meetings as well as bilateral regional and multilateral meetings with foreign government counterparts and briefs the Coordinator on regional polic~ issues

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me

Hi Darryl

I am going to ask to see the final on this one Im uncertain if there will be other access issues than classification since State often has b3 or other issues

Also do you think that the average records manager would be able to distinguish between the policy files and working files The item descriptions seem very similar to me
