SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) is rescinding the system of records notice, Animal Damage Control Non-Federal ( print page 92887) Personnel Records, USDA/APHIS-7, and removing it from its inventory. This system was used to provide State supervisors a system for financial and manpower management of Animal Damage Control programs, record disbursement of funds, allow for preparation of various statistical reports, and maintain records related to employees involved in animal damage control.

The Department is rescinding this system of records because the records previously maintained in the system are now maintained within the system of records titled “Wildlife Services Information Management System, USDA/APHIS-9,” which serves as the official record of Wildlife Services' work in wildlife damage management activities related to agriculture, human health and safety, natural resources, and human property.

Rescinding the Animal Damage Control Non-Federal Personnel Records System will have no adverse impacts on individuals as the records are covered by and maintained under the Wildlife Services Information Management System, USDA/APHIS-9. This notice hereby rescinds the Animal Damage Control Non-Federal Personnel Records System of records notice as identified below.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:

Animal Damage Control Non-Federal Personnel Records System, USDA/APHIS-7.
