SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), the
National Science Foundation (NSF) is providing notice of changes to its
Privacy Act Systems of Records. Eight (8) system notices are being
deleted. The records described there are adequately covered by existing
government-wide systems. Five (5) NSF system notices are being deleted
because the records therein are covered by other, more comprehensive
NSF system notices. Eleven (11) NSF system notices are being deleted
because the records described therein are no longer maintained by NSF.

Systems. The following eight (8) NSF System notices are being deleted.
The records described therein are adequately covered by existing
government-wide systems.
