SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, FWS is rescinding the INTERIOR/FWS-25, Contract and Procurement Records, system of records notice (SORN) and removing it from its system of records inventory. This system was used by FWS contracting officers and technical representatives to evaluate contract proposals submitted by members of the public. During a routine review, FWS determined that INTERIOR/FWS-25 SORN was superseded by INTERIOR/DOI-87, Acquisition of Goods and Services: FBMS, 73 FR 43766 (July 28, 2008), modification published at 86 FR 50156 (September 7, 2021), a Department-wide SORN for the Financial and Business Management System (FBMS), which supports DOI business and financial management functions for all bureaus and offices, including all procurement and contracting activity. Therefore, DOI is rescinding this FWS notice to avoid duplication of another SORN 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/FWS-25, Contract and Procurement Records, SORN will have no adverse impacts on individuals as the records are covered under the INTERIOR/DOI-87, Acquisition of Goods and Services: FBMS, SORN. This rescindment will also promote the overall streamlining and management of DOI Privacy Act systems of records.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:

INTERIOR/FWS-25, Contract and Procurement Records.

HISTORY:

48 FR 54721 (December 6, 1983); modification published at 73 FR 31877 (June 4, 2008).

Teri Barnett,

Departmental Privacy Officer, Department of the Interior.
