Abstract: Rule 17f-2(d)(1) requires covered entities to keep the processed fingerprint card or any appropriate substitute record together with any information received from the Attorney General for the duration of that person's employment or relationship with the organization and for a period of not less than three years after termination of that person's employment or relationship with the organization. However, subparagraph (2) of the rule permits a self-regulatory organization that is also the covered entities' designated examining authority to store and maintain the records required to be kept by this rule. Subparagraph (3) permits the required records to be maintained on microfilm.
