System Description: The "BLUREC" database maintains up-to-date records on individual boxes stored in the Records Center. Data provided for each box includes the Martin Marietta Energy Systems (MMES) schedule number, the numerical designation for the originating department, the name of the individual transferring the boxes to the Records Center, the date the box was received, a brief description of the records, the quantity, the Records Center box number, the Federal Records Center (FRC) box number (used only after records have been sent to the Atlanta FRC), the date of transfers to Atlanta, the scheduled disposition date, the actual disposition date, the review date, and the approval status. Records are not erased when boxes are transferred, destroyed, or returned to the originating office. Box numbers are reused when a box is transferred to the FRC, destroyed, or returned to the originating office. Records Center staff do not usually maintain a hard copy of information contained in this data base. "BLUREC" generates a variety of reports, can be searched on all fields, and is updated as needed.
