Updated 3/28/03 Travel records The Travel Office has just completed an audit conducted by the Inspector General (IG) and some discrepancies in the record-keeping practices for domestic travel records have surfaced. Because of these discrepancies, the process for keeping domestic travel records in the group/division offices has changed. The Travel Office requires that copies of the following be sent to the
Travel Office with the actual travel requests/approvals/receipts, etc.,
to avoid inconsistent record-keeping practices throughout the Laboratory.
1. Copies of justifications for any charges that are above the allowed
government rates, i.e., lodging, etc. If these copies are not sent to the Travel Office, group/division offices are required to schedule these records under ADM 9/1.a., Commercial Freight and Passenger Transportation Files, and must cut off these records at the end of the fiscal year and retain them for six years. These records must be kept as long as the Travel Office is required to keep the official domestic travel records. When retention periods have been met, a request for approval to destroy must be sent to IM-5 on a Certificate of Records Destruction, Form 1704. When group/division offices keep copies of domestic travel records submitted to the Travel Office, these will remain scheduled under the ADM 23/1, Office Administrative Files, and need to be cut off at the end of the fiscal year and retained for two years. When retention periods have been met, a request for approval to destroy must be sent to IM-5 on a Certificate of Records Destruction, Form 1704.
