TRANSITORY DOCUMENTS

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-028557

Transitory documents are documents of short-term interest which have no documentary or evidential value. They are disposable because they clearly do not pertain to the official activities of the Agency. The most common types are: (1) Routine requests for information or publications. An example would be an electronic mail message requesting nominations for a workgroup, and the replies to the request. (2) Letters of transmittal that do not add information to the transmitted materials. An example would be a message transmitting a copy of a document to a requestor. (3) Quasi-official notices that do not act as the basis for official actions. Examples include notices of holidays, bond campaigns, etc.
