SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Office of Management and Budget conducted a review of its Privacy Act systems of records and determined that eleven systems of records can be deleted from its inventory because the data is neither collected nor maintained by OMB. The systems of records to be deleted are: OMB/SPD/01, "Clearance Office Information System"; FAI-1, "Federal Procurement and Logistics Personnel Information System"; FAI-2, "Individual Credentialing Services Program"; OMB/LIBRY/01, "Library Circulation System"; OMB/BUDGO/01, "Payroll and Leave Records"; OMB/BUDGO/03, "Personnel Summary"; OMB/BUDGO/04, "Professional Staff Roster"; OMB/RECDS/01, "Researcher Request File"; OMB/ADSER/01, "Staff Directory Card"; OMB/BUDGO/02, "Staff Travel Records"; and OMB/CAVAD/01, "Veterans Education and Training Load Model." In addition, three other systems of records in OMB's inventory are being revised to incorporate address and title changes as well as to update descriptions of the systems and other data. These three systems are OMB/LEGIS/01, "Private Relief Legislation"; OMB/PERSL/01, "Recruiting and Applicant Records"; and OMB/ADSER/02, "Staff Parking Application File", and are published in their entirety. One of the revisions is the deletion from the routine use description of disclosures that are made internally within OMB. Those disclosures will continue to be made, but are authorized by 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(1).
