SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, Reclamation is rescinding the system of records notice, INTERIOR/WBR-45, Equipment, Supply, and Service Contracts, from its inventory. This system was used for the administration of contracts for equipment, supplies, materials, and services. During a review of Reclamation's system of records notices, it was determined that this system is no longer needed since the records are covered by published Department-wide system of records notices, INTERIOR/DOI-86, Accounts Receivable: FBMS, 73 FR 43772 (July 28, 2008), and INTERIOR/DOI-87, Acquisition of Goods and Services: FBMS, 73 FR 43766 (July 28, 2008). Therefore, Reclamation is rescinding this system of records notice to avoid duplication of existing system 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.

Rescinding the INTERIOR/WBR-45 notice will have no adverse impacts on individuals as the records are covered by and maintained under existing published DOI system of records notices. This rescindment will promote the overall streamlining and management of DOI Privacy Act systems of records. This notice hereby rescinds the INTERIOR/WBR-45, Equipment, Supply, and Service Contracts, system of records notice as identified below.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:

INTERIOR/WBR-45, Equipment, Supply, and Service Contracts.

HISTORY:

INTERIOR/WBR-45, Equipment, Supply, and Service Contracts, 64 FR 43714 (August 11, 1999); modification published at 73 FR 20949 (April 17, 2008).

Departmental Privacy Officer, Department of the Interior.
