Deletions:

B0502-03, Master Billet/Access Records (March 19, 2002, 67 FR 12532).

Reason:

This system was originally established to identify and verify personnel authorized access to SCI in order to control access to secure areas for use of classified information, for periodic re-indoctrination (re-briefing) of employees for SCI access, for periodic security education and training, and for control and reissue of identification badges. Because the stand-alone system no longer exists, records in that system are now covered under NGA-003, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Enterprise Workforce System (May 24, 2013, 78 FR 31526); therefore, B0502-03, Master Billet/Access Records can be deleted.

B1211-03, Passport and Visa Files (January 18, 2002, 67 FR 2639).

Reason:

This system was originally established to issue passports and visas to agency personnel and their dependents for official government travel and to obtain necessary visas from appropriate embassies. Because the stand-alone system no longer exists, records in that system are now covered under NGA-003, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Enterprise Workforce System (May 24, 2013, 78 FR 31526); therefore, B1211-03, Passport and Visa Files can be deleted.

B0502-15, Security Compromise Case Files (March 19, 2002, 67 FR 12532).

Reason:

This system was originally established to protect records relating to investigations conducted into alleged and/or actual security violations by Security Office personnel and appointed investigating officials. Because the stand-alone system no longer exists, records in that system are now covered under NGA-003, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Enterprise Workforce System (May 24, 2013, 78 FR 31526); therefore, B0502-15, Security Compromise Case Files can be deleted.

B0303-5, Leave Record Files (February 22, 1993, 58 FR 10189).

Reason:

This system was originally established to record official annual accumulation and use of employees' leave. Because the stand-alone system no longer exists, the records are now covered under NGA-003, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Enterprise Workforce System (May 24, 2013, 78 FR 31526); therefore, B0303-5, Leave Record Files can be deleted.

B0614-01, Military Personnel Information Files (March 19, 2002, 67 FR 12532).

Reason:

This system was originally established to determine the acceptability of an individual nominated by the parent service for an agency position, to be used in the preparation of efficiency/fitness/effectiveness reports, award recommendations, and other personnel actions. Because the stand-alone system no longer exists, records in that system are now covered under NGA-003, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Enterprise Workforce System (May 24, 2013, 78 FR 31526); therefore, B0614-01, Military Personnel Information Files can be deleted.

B0504-01-2, Personnel Security and Suitability Files (December 2, 1994, 59 FR 61885).

Reason:

This system was originally established to maintain up-to-date personnel security and suitability information for civilians, military and applicant personnel who require access to classified information, to determine and ensure continued eligibility for access to classified information. Because the overall purpose of the system has changed, records in that system are now covered under NGA-003, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Enterprise Workforce System (May 24, 2013, 78 FR 31526); therefore, B0504-01-2, Personnel Security and Suitability Files can be deleted.

B0503-02, Security Identification Accountability Files (March 19, 2002, 67 FR 12532).

Reason:

This system was originally established to maintain accountability for various identification cards/badges issues and identify to whom issued. Because the stand-alone system no longer exists, records in that system are now covered under NGA-003, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Enterprise Workforce System (May 24, 2013, 78 FR 31526); therefore, B0503-02, Security Identification Accountability Files can be deleted.
