E7-17410. Deletion of Existing SORN

AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:

Notice of a deletion and transfer of an existing system of records.

SUMMARY:

Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), the Office of Inspector General, Environmental Protection Agency is giving notice that it proposes to delete and transfer an existing system of records for the IG Operations and Records System (SORN EPA-41). This system was used to support EPA's Personnel Security function when that function was assigned to the EPA Office of Inspector General. The system was used to track the status of EPA Personnel with sensitive clearances and individuals undergoing background checks for sensitive positions. This module of the EPA OIG's Inspector General Operations and Records (IGOR) System has been removed from the EPA's production server and is no longer available for data input, reports or processing.

The EPA Personnel Security Function has been transferred to EPA's Office of Administration and Resources Management (OARM). Tracking of the Personnel Security Function is currently managed in a sub-system of the Office of Administration Services (OAS), Office of Administration Services Information System (OASIS). The SORN for this IGOR sub-module (EPA-41) has been transferred to the OAS OASIS system.

DATES:

Persons wishing to comment on this system of records notice may do so by October 15, 2007.
