Thanks for reaching out to clarify.
I'm aware of the general schedules. Regardless of the schedules, records are still generated as part of the transfer and documenting the transfer of records to NARA. That is what I am asking for - those specific records for the files listed.

RE: Freedom of Information Act Request NGC24-323
Dear Ms. North-Best:
On May 17, 2024, we received your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request
that was assigned tracking number NGC24-323. Your request falls within one
of the “unusual circumstances” categories contemplated by the FOIA, 5
U.S.C. §552(a)(6)(B)(iii) (I), (II) and (III), and we need additional time
to respond to your request beyond the twenty business days provided by the
FOIA statute. Specifically, we need to search for and collect potentially
responsive records from an office separate from our office which is
processing the request. To enable us to respond more quickly to you, you
may wish to reformulate your request to narrow the scope of the request or
to arrange an alternative time frame for the processing of this request.
We regret the necessity of this delay but assure you that your request will
be processed as soon as possible. In accordance with 5 U.S.C.
§552(a)(6)(B)(i) the request will take an additional 10 working days from
the date of this letter. Please feel free to contact our office if you
have any questions. You may also contact our FOIA Public Liaison, Gary M.
Stern for assistance at 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, MD 20740-6002,
301-837-1750, ngc.foia.liaison@nara.gov.
You are also free to seek the assistance of the Office of Government
Information Services (OGIS), the Federal FOIA Ombudsman’s office that
