SUMMARY:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, DOI is rescinding the INTERIOR/SOL-4, Workload Analysis, SORN from its inventory because it is no longer needed as the records are covered under INTERIOR/DOI-85, Payroll, Attendance, Retirement, and Leave Records, 83 FR 34156 (July 19, 2018). The Workload Analysis system was used to provide information concerning the time spent on assigned work and manage the workload of attorneys employed within the Office of the Solicitor. The Workload Analysis system has been retired and is no longer used to maintain data on attorney workload. Upon review, DOI determined that the INTERIOR/SOL-4, Workload Analysis, SORN is no longer necessary as it was superseded by the Department-wide INTERIOR/DOI-85, Payroll, Attendance, Retirement, and Leave Records, SORN which covers the attorney workload, and time and attendance records. This rescindment will eliminate an unnecessary duplicate notice and is in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-108, Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act.

Rescinding the INTERIOR/SOL-4, Workload Analysis, SORN will have no adverse impacts on individuals as the records are covered under the INTERIOR/DOI-85, Payroll, Attendance, Retirement, and Leave Records, SORN. This rescindment will also promote the overall streamlining and management of DOI Privacy Act systems of records.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:

Workload Analysis—Interior, Office of the Solicitor-4.
