SUMMARY:

The Department of the Army proposes to delete a system of records, A0351 AMC, “Student/Faculty Records: AMC Schools Systems” in its inventory of record systems subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. This system was used to determine applicant eligibility, monitor individual's progress, maintain record of student/faculty achievements, and to provide bases for management assessment of curricula and faculty effectiveness and class standing.

Subsequently, it has been confirmed that the training records are now collected in the Army Training Requirements and Resources System and are covered under A0351 DAPE, Army Training Requirements and Resources System (ATRRS) (January 3, 2002, 67 FR 311) system of records notice.

A0351 AMC

Student/Faculty Records:

AMC Schools Systems (October 30, 2015, 80 FR 66881)

Reason:

The Army organization hosting these training records was relocated from Rock Island, Illinois to McAlester Army Ammunition Plant, Oklahoma in 1995, due to base realignment and new missions. These records are no longer collected from trainees at the ammunition training site. Training sites are no longer available and all ammunition training is done online through the Army Training Requirement and Resources System (ATRRS). Previous training records were transferred to the National Personnel Records Center, 9700 Page Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63132-5200, with the soldiers and government civilian personnel records upon separation or retirement from the Army. Faculty and instructor qualification records were destroyed after five years in accordance with the disposition schedule. Training records are now collected in the Army Training Requirements and Resources System and are covered under A0351 DAPE, Army Training Requirements and Resources System (ATRRS) (January 3, 2002, 67 FR 311) system of records notice. Therefore, A0351 AMC, Student/Faculty Records: AMC Schools Systems can be deleted.
