SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, the DOI is rescinding the following two FWS system of records notices from its system of records inventory. During a routine review, FWS determined these systems of records notices were superseded by a published Department-wide or FWS system of records notice. Therefore, DOI is rescinding these FWS systems of records notices to avoid duplication of existing systems of records notices in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-108, Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act.

• INTERIOR/FWS-19, Endangered Species Licensee System. This system of records notice was superseded by INTERIOR/FWS-21, Permit Systems, 68 FR 52610 (September 4, 2003); modification published 73 FR 31877 (June 4, 2008). Records in the system were migrated to and are maintained under the INTERIOR/FWS-21, Permit Systems, system of records notice.
• INTERIOR/FWS-34, National Conservation Training Center Training Server System. This system of records notice was superseded by a Department-wide system of records notice, INTERIOR/DOI-16, Learning Management System, 83 FR 50682 (October 9, 2018), which covers bureau and office training program records.

Rescinding these system of records notices will have no adverse impacts on individuals as the records previously maintained under INTERIOR/FWS-19 and INTERIOR/FWS-34 are covered under the published INTERIOR/FWS-21 and INTERIOR/DOI-16 systems of records notices. This rescindment will also promote the overall streamlining and management of DOI Privacy Act systems of records.
