Deletions:

WUSU 06, USUHS Family Practice Medical Records (February 22, 1993, 58 FR 10920).

Reason

Based on the review of WUSU 06, and discussion with the system manager and HA Privacy POC, it has been concluded that the USUHS Family Practice Medical Records are covered under the umbrella SORN, DHA 07 (Military Health Information System). HA/GC supports the determination to delete WUSU 06.

DWHS P20, Report of Personnel Assigned Outside of Department of Defense (February 22, 1993, 58 FR 10227).

Reason

Review of DWHS P20, and a discussion with the program manager, revealed that no PII is solicited in the process and that records are not retrieved by name. This collection of information is not a Privacy Act system of records and does not require a system of records notice; therefore, DWHS P20 can be deleted.
