# §1232.10. Where can a Federal agency transfer records for storage?


Federal agencies may store records in the following types of records storage facilities, so long as the facilities meet the facility standards in [36 CFR part 1234](/cfr/36/part1234.md). Records transferred to a records storage facility remain in the legal custody of the agency.

- (a) **NARA Federal Records Centers.** NARA owns or operates records centers for the storage, processing, and servicing of records for Federal agencies under the authority of [44 U.S.C. 2907](/usc/44/2907.md). These NARA records centers include a National Personnel Records Center that contains designated records of the Department of Defense and the Office of Personnel Management and other designated records pertaining to former Federal civilian employees. A list of NARA Federal Records Centers is available from the NARA Web site at http://www.archives.gov/locations/index.html.
- (b) **Records centers operated by or on behalf of one or more Federal agencies other than NARA.**
- (c) **Commercial records storage facilities operated by private entities.**
