Obtaining government officials’ business emails should be easier

[PeterK]

in a survey of 412 high-level government employees conducted by Atlantic Media’s Government Executive Media Group, one-third of the employees admitted they use their private email account for government business at least sometimes.

At the federal level, relatively recent regulations and legislation control government employees’ obligations to preserve email in personal accounts. In 2009, the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) issued revised regulations on records management, requiring that agencies make sure federal records sent or received on an employee’s personal email account are preserved.

They have occurred under the guidance of federal agencies, and under the umbrella of federal regulations."
