SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Four systems were identified for rescindment from the SEC's Privacy Act systems of records inventory. The SORNs were identified for rescindment because they are duplicative, and covered by another SEC system of records. OMB requires that each agency provide assurance that systems of records do not duplicate any existing agency or government-wide systems of records. A description of each rescindment justification, the applicable SORNs, and an account of what happened to the records is as follows:

1. SEC-19: Division of Corporation Finance and Support Office Working Files. The records in SEC-19 are duplicative of and share the same purpose as the records in SEC-68: SEC's Division of Corporation Finance Records, 83 FR 6892 (February 15, 2018).

2. SEC-29: Agency Correspondence Tracking System (ACTS). The records in SEC-29 are duplicative of and share the same purpose as the records in SEC-65: Investor Response Information System (IRIS), 76 FR 30213 (May 24, 2011).

3. SEC-58: System for Enforcement Case Tracking and Routing (SECTR). The records in SEC-58 are duplicative and share the same purpose as the records in SEC-70: SEC's Division of Trading and Market Records, 83 FR 6892 (February 15, 2018).

4. SEC-61: Municipal Advisor Records The records in SEC 61 are duplicative and share the same purpose as the records in SEC-62. Correspondence Files Pertaining to Municipal Advisors; Municipal Advisor Logs.
