SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This publication satisfies the requirement of the Privacy Act of 1974 and subsequent guidance from the Office of Management and Budget that agencies publish in the Federal Register, notice of rescission of a System of Records Notice when an agency stops maintaining a previously established system of records. A review of the System of Records Notice, FCA-18—Inspector General Investigative Files—FCA, was conducted in March 2020. The Agency determined the system notice was duplicative of another system, FCA-7—Inspector General Investigative Files—FCA and is no longer necessary. The Agency previously published a notice of rescission for FCA-18 but erroneously maintained the system on its list of active systems of records.

As required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) of the Privacy Act, as amended, the FCA sent notice of this action to the Office of Management and Budget, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives, and the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the Senate.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:

FCA-18—Inspector General Investigative Files—FCA.

HISTORY:

Federal Register Vol. 64, No. 100/Tuesday, May 25, 1999 page 21875, Vol. 70, No. 183/Thursday, September 22, 2005, page 55621.

Dated: August 13, 2020.

Secretary, Farm Credit Administration Board.
