Deletion:

F038 AF AFCQMI A

Ideas, Inventions, Scientific Achievements (May 7, 1999, 64 FR 24605).

Reason

The Innovative Development through Employee Awareness (IDEA) Program Data System (IPDS) has been modified to retrieve records based on an assigned Idea number or key word search; data is no longer retrieved by an individual's name, number, personal or unique identifier. IPDS is used as a management tool for statistical and analysis tracking, reporting, and evaluation of program effectiveness. Modules (electronic records) previously used to process IDEA awards by individual have been eliminated from the system. Paper records are maintained in individual military or civilian personnel records covered under System of Records Notices F036 AF PC C and OPM/GOVT-1. Therefore F038 AFCQMI A, Ideas, Inventions, Scientific Achievements (May 7, 1999, 64 FR 24605) can be deleted.
