SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the Department of Transportation (DOT)/Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to rescind DOT system of records titled, “Department of Transportation/Federal Aviation Administration (DOT/FAA) 851 Administration and Compliance Tracking in an Integrated Office Network System of Records,” 65 FR 19529 (April 11, 2000). This system of records was established to support the information resource, reporting and archival needs of the Drug Abatement Division. The categories of records included name, company and phone numbers of program managers in the daily operation of drug and alcohol testing programs for aviation companies. The authority for maintenance of the system was the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991 (49 U.S.C. 45101-45106), 14 CFR part 61, et al. A biennial review of FAA systems of records determined that DOT/FAA 851 records and routine uses were subsumed into the DOT/FAA 847 Aviation Records on Individuals, 75 FR 68849 November 9, 2010). Consequently, rescinding SORN 851 will have no adverse impact on individuals. Rescindment will promote the overall streamlining and management of DOT Privacy Act systems of records.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:

Department of Transportation/Federal Aviation Administration (DOT/FAA) 851 Administration and Compliance Tracking in an Integrated Office Network.

HISTORY:

A full notice of this system of records, DOT/FAA 851 Administration and Compliance Tracking in an Integrated Office Network was published in the Federal Register on April 11, 2000, at 65 FR 19529.
