SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, Reclamation is rescinding the system of records notice, INTERIOR/WBR-11, Identification/Security Cards, and removing it from its inventory. This system was used to manage physical security operations and access to Reclamation controlled buildings and facilities.

During a review of Reclamation's system of records notices, it was determined that this system is no longer needed since the records are covered by a published Department-wide system of records notice, INTERIOR/DOI-46, Physical Security Access Files, 85 FR 3406 (January 21, 2020). Therefore, Reclamation is rescinding this system of records notice to avoid duplication of existing system of records notices in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-108, Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under the Privacy Act.

Rescinding the INTERIOR/WBR-11, Identification/Security Cards, system of records notice will have no adverse impacts on individuals as the records are covered by and maintained under an existing published DOI system of records notice. This rescindment will promote the overall streamlining and management of DOI Privacy Act systems of records. This notice hereby rescinds the INTERIOR/WBR-11, Identification/Security Cards, system of records notice as identified below.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:

INTERIOR/WBR-11, Identification/Security Cards.

HISTORY:

65 FR 6393 (February 9, 2000); modification published at 73 FR 20949 (April 17, 2008).
