Sec. 379.3  Records required to be retained.



    Companies subject to this part shall retain records for the minimum 

retention periods provided in appendix A to this part. After the

discretion of each company's management. It shall be the obligation of 

the subject company to maintain records that adequately support 

financial and operational data required by the Secretary. The company

The provisions of this part shall not be construed as excusing 

compliance with the lawful requirements of any other governmental body 

prescribing longer retention periods for any category of records.
