# §1238.30. What must agencies do when transferring permanent microform records to the National Archives of the United States?


Agencies must:

- (a) **Follow the procedures in part 1235 of this subchapter and the additional requirements in this section.**
- (b) If the records are not in a NARA Federal Records Center, submit the information specified in [§ 1232.14(c)](/cfr/36/1232.14.md?p=c) of this subchapter.
- (c) Transfer the silver gelatin original (or duplicate silver gelatin microform created in accordance with [§ 1238.14](/cfr/36/1238.14.md)) plus one microform copy.
- (d) **Ensure that the inspections of the microforms are up-to-date.** NARA will not accession permanent microform records until the first inspection has been performed (when the microforms are 2 years old).
- (e) Package non-silver copies separately from the silver gelatin original or silver duplicate microform copy and clearly label them as non-silver copies.
