If you require an accommodation, contact the Secretary of State no later than 5:00 p.m. on July 30, 2015, to advise us of the nature of the accommodation that you need. Please contact Jorge Quintana, Secretary of State's Office, P.O.

3. The rule as proposed to be amended provides as follows, new matter underlined, deleted matter interlined:
44.14.202 STORAGE REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRONICALLY STORED DOCUMENTS WITH GREATER THAN TEN YEAR RECORD RETENTION (2) ARMA's Generally Accepted Recordkeeping Principles® can be accessed on the ARMA web site at the following link: http://www.arma.org/docs/sharepoint-roadshow/the-principles_executive-summaries_final.doc.
AUTH: 2-6-404, MCA
REASON: The Local Government Advisory Committee met on May 20, 2014, and agreed to amend ARM 44.14.202 to state that ARMA International's Generally Accepted Recordkeeping Principles® be utilized to manage the storage requirements for electronically stored long-term documents regardless of format or media. The rule is amended to implement that recommendation. The Principles are being adopted by reference because the publication of the Principles would be unduly cumbersome and inexpedient as they are 10 pages in length. The Principles are the sole property of ARMA International and because they are a copyrighted trademark, ARMA International's web site is referenced in the rule to adopt the Principles by reference. The Principles will be posted to the Secretary of State's web site at http://sos.mt.gov/ARM/notices during the rulemaking process. The following boilerplate information regarding the Principles is required to be cited:

In addition, although the Secretary of State works to keep its web site accessible at all times, concerned persons should be aware that the web site may be unavailable during some periods, due to system maintenance or technical problems.
