A regulation is superseded and the related authority document must leave active use. What lifecycle practice is appropriate?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When the law book changes editions, you don’t shred history and pretend the old book still rules. Retire or supersede the authority document so new obligations stop flowing from the obsolete source. Keep lineage so auditors can still see what used to apply.
Full Explanation
Authority documents follow lifecycle states including retirement or supersession when regulations change. Proper handling stops new active obligations from obsolete authorities while retaining historical lineage for auditability. Deleting history without a trail, leaving obsolete authorities active, or moving content only outside IRM creates compliance continuity gaps.
