FORTY-SECOND QUARTERLY REPORT ON ACTIONS TAKEN 
BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY TO RETAIN 
IIM-RELATED DOCUMENTS NECESSARY FOR AN ACCOUNTING 


Cobell v. Salazar 

June 1, 2010 

This is the Forty-Second Quarterly Report filed by the Department of the 
Treasury (‘Treasury”) pursuant to the Court’s December 21, 1999 Order (“Order”) in the 
above-captioned case. It covers activities occurring over a three-month period from 
March 1, 2010 through May 31, 2010. The Order requires Treasury to report on the steps 
it has taken since the last quarterly report to preserve IIM-related documents. 

Treasury continues to preserve IIM-related documentation pursuant to the Court’s 
August 12, 1999 Order, which defines the trust records that Treasury must retain. During 
the past quarter, the Records and Information Management Branch at the Financial 
Management Service (FMS) provided training to FMS employees through two briefings 
to new employees during Entrance on Duty sessions and two training sessions for 
managers and for staff employees at the FMS Regional Financial Center in Austin, 
Texas. The records management briefings and training include reiteration of FMS 
employees’ obligation to retain materials due to on-going litigation at FMS.
