another Action Memorandum, ROD, or DD at the FUDS property. These documents should be
included in the permanent Project File at the district.
9. RD and RA documents are usually excluded from the Administrative Record. However, if
there are multiple RDs and RAs, documents from previous RDs and RAs may be included in the
Administrative Record to support follow-up response actions. In addition, if there is an
amendment to a ROD, a DD, or an Action Memorandum, additional RD and RA documents may
be added to the Administrative Record. These documents should be included in the permanent
Project File at the district.
10. Title search records may be excluded from the Administrative Record if they do not contain
information relevant to selection of a response action. Since title search records may be
considered confidential, they may be cited in the Index and excluded from the physical
Administrative Record, i.e., inclusion by reference only.
11. USACE press releases are included in the Administrative Record. General newspaper
clippings are excluded from the Administrative Record (unless they served as the basis for a
response action).
12. Comments received from members of Congress on draft documents that were relied upon in
selection of a response action (e.g., EE/CA, RI, FS, Proposed Plan, ROD, Public Involvement
Plam) must be included in the Administrative Record.
13. Site descriptions and chronologies may be included in the Administrative Record if they
reflect official agency positions. They are not to be included if they were prepared as the FUDS
project team's working papers.
14. The final scopes of work, including any modifications, should be included. Most other
contract file documents are not relevant. Official contract documents and financial records will
be maintained IAW AR 25-400-2.
15. Include recommendations or significant information provided by any RAB or TRC which
relates to a response action decision. Also include the documents that were developed to
establish the RAB or TRC, correspondence reflecting any changes in the RAB or TRC
membership, and the minutes of any meeting between the RAB or TRC and the agency decision-
making official.
16. Postdecision information, including LTM documents, is generally excluded from the
Administrative Record. See paragraph 4-12 of this pamphlet for a discussion of when it may be
appropriate to include such information in the Administrative Record.
