documentation of a Federal agency's policies, decisions, and essential 
transactions, DHS destroys SSI when no longer needed to carry out the 
agency's function.

destroy SSI completely to preclude recognition or reconstruction of the

transportation security measures.
    (2) Exception. Paragraph (b)(1) of this section does not require a 
State or local government agency to destroy information that the agency 
is required to preserve under State or local law.
