8 Sec. 7. Disposition rules. Except as otherwise provided

13 binding on all such officers. Such regulations shall
14 establish procedures for compiling and submitting to the
15 Commission lists and schedules of public records proposed for
16 disposal; procedures for the physical destruction or other
17 disposition of such public records; and standards for the
18 reproduction of such public records by photography or,
19 microphotographic processes; and standards for the

21 electronic format. Such standards shall relate to the quality
22 of the film to be used, preparation of the public records for

27 contain all significant record detail, to the end that the
28 copies will be adequate. The standards relating to digitized
