RECORD RETENTION Regulations require that project records be maintained for a period of five years from the date of submission of the final project report. If any actions such as litigation, claim, audit or other action occur before the five year period is over, records must be retained until completion of the action and resolution of all issues that arise from the action, or, until the end of the regular five year period whichever is later.
