RMD Director Recomendations: 09-23-2015 RDA 1678 is a request to revise an RDA. The retention period will remain permanent. The format will change from paper/film to electronic/film. The record will now be maintained permanently in agency electronically rather than transferring film to TSLA. Recommend approval of request to revise RDA 1678.
