SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, Interior is rescinding the INTERIOR/DOI–88, Travel Management: FBMS, SORN and removing it from its inventory. During a routine review, the Department determined that agency travel program records are covered under two government-wide SORNs issued by the GSA: GSA/GOVT–3, Travel Charge Card Program, 78 FR 20108 (April 3, 2013); and GSA/GOVT–4, Contracted Travel Services Program, 74 FR 26700 (June 3, 2009), modification published June 12, 2009 (74 FR 28048). A government-wide system of records is a system of records where one agency has regulatory authority over the records in the custody of multiple agencies and that agency has the responsibility for publishing a SORN that applies to all of the records regardless of their custodial location. The two GSA government-wide SORNs cover all federal travel service programs and apply to the travel records maintained by the Department pursuant to federal travel regulations. Therefore, Interior will manage its travel program records under the GSA government-wide notices and is rescinding the INTERIOR/DOI–88, Travel Management: FBMS, SORN to avoid duplication of the existing government-wide SORNs in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget Circular A–108, Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act.

Rescinding the INTERIOR/DOI–88, Travel Management: FBMS, SORN will have no adverse impacts on individuals as the records are covered under the GSA/GOVT–3, Travel Charge Card Program, and GSA/GOVT–4, Contracted Travel Services Program, SORNs. This rescindment will also promote the overall streamlining and management of Interior's Privacy Act systems of records.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:

Interior, DOI–88, Travel Management: FBMS.

HISTORY:

73 FR 43769 (July 28, 2008), modification published 86 FR 50156 (September 7, 2021).

Teri Barnett,

Departmental Privacy Officer, Department of the Interior.
