If the Administrator determines that any of the records listed in a list or schedule submitted to him do not, or will not after the lapse of the period specified, have sufficient administrative, legal, research, or other value to warrant their continued preservation by the Government, he may (1) notify the agency to that effect; and (2) empower the agency to dispose of those records in accordance with regulations promulgated under section 3302 of this title.

A Federal agency may request changes in such schedules for its records pursuant to section 2009 of this title.

(f) The Administrator shall make an annual report to the Congress concerning the disposal of records under this chapter, including general descriptions of the types of records disposed of and such other information as he considers appropriate to keep the Congress fully informed regarding the disposal of records under this chapter.
