00-12325. Privacy Act of 1974; Amendment of System of Records

AGENCY:

Department of Veterans Affairs.

ACTION:

Notice; correction.

SUMMARY:

The Department of Veterans Affairs published a document in the Federal Register on April 18, 2000, to revise an existing routine use to the system of records entitled “Personnel and Accounting Pay System—VA” (27VA047) as set forth in the Federal Register 40 FR 38095 (8/26/75) and amended in 48 FR 16372 (4/15/83), 50 FR 23009 (5/30/85), 51 FR 6858 (2/26/86), 51 FR 25968 (7/17/86), 55 FR 42534 (10/19/90), 56 FR 23952 (5/24/91), 58 FR 39088 (7/21/93), 58 FR 40852 (7/30/93), 60 FR 35448 (7/7/95), 62 FR 41483 (8/1/97), and 62 FR 68362 (12/31/97). This system of records contains information on current and former salaried VA employees. Inadvertently, the proposed routine use statement was omitted. This document makes a correction by adding the proposed routine use statement. Further, the submission of written comments, suggestions, or objections to the proposed routine use statement, and the effective date of the new routine use statement are corrected.
