Eligibility Requirements

To be eligible to apply for an LGRMIF grant, most local governments in New York State are required to have the following in place by the application deadline:

• Records Management Officer (RMO) appointed
• Appropriate State Archives records retention and disposition schedule adopted 

The only exceptions to this are the City of New York and its five county clerks and five district attorneys, community school districts in New York City, and housing authorities, none of which are required to have RMOs or to adopt State Archives records retention and disposition schedules.
