SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Due to their age and short-term temporary nature, the records in “Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs Contact List State-03” are presumed to have been destroyed, in accordance with the Department's records disposition schedule, since the Office of Economic Policy Analysis and Public Diplomacy (EB/EPPD) no longer exists and thus no longer uses or maintains the system of records, and both EB/EPPD and the Department's Office of Enterprise Records Management are unable to locate or confirm whether the records were destroyed. [ Note: As of July 14, EB/EPPD no longer exists, and the Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs is now the Bureau of Economic, Energy, and Business Affairs. End Note.] The underlying records previously maintained in this system of records were temporary and presumed destroyed or deleted in accordance with Disposition Authority Number DAA-GRS-2017-0002-0002 (GRS 6.5, item 020). As a result, the information is no longer subject to any routine uses. Due to the age of this SORN, EB/EPPD and the Enterprise Records Management Office (A/SKS/PPKM/ERM) are unable to identify a specific date or timeframe of when the records were destroyed or deleted. State-03 was last published at 66 FR 54320 on October 26, 2001.
