DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

[AAG/A Order No. 167-99]


Privacy Act of 1974; Notice of the Removal of a System of Records

    Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 
552a), the Procurement Policy and Review Group, Management and Planning 
Staff, Justice Management Division (JMD) is removing a published 
Privacy Act system of records entitled ``Delegations of Procurement 
Authority (DPA), JUSTICE/JMD-018.'' JUSTICE/JMD-018 was last published 
in the Federal Register on October 10, 1995, (60 FR 52704).
    The DPA is no longer being used or maintained. The system was 
originally used, as part of a pre-award review of contract actions 
above a certain threshold, to ensure contracting officers in the 
Department's bureaus were exercising their procurement authority in 
accordance with the terms of their delegations. The system was also 
used to track training and career progression of bureau contracting 
officers. On May 31, 1995, the Procurement Executive discontinued the 
practice of performing pre-award reviews of all contract actions, 
including checks of contracting officers' delegations. In addition, 
consistent with the Justice Acquisition Regulations (63 FR 16118-
16136), which delegate the responsibility of developing and managing 
career development programs to the bureaus, the DPA is no longer used 
for career development purposes.
