and maintenance methods that will be employed to ensure that the books,
records, and documents are available in a format that makes them readily

methods that will be employed to ensure that the media, when displayed on a
viewing machine or reproduced on paper, exhibit a high degree of legibility and
readability;

location approved by the executive director and the readiness with which the
books, records, or documents being stored on media can be located, read, and
reproduced; and
(4) the
availability of a detailed index of all stored data maintained and arranged in
a manner to permit the location of any particular book, record, or document,

from meeting any obligation to prepare or maintain any book, record, or
document required by any other federal, state, or local governmental body,
authority, or agency.
