Privacy Act of 1974; Deletion of System of Records

AGENCY: Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for 
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

ACTION: Notice to delete 10 systems of records.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: CMS proposes to delete 10 systems of records from its 
inventory subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 (Title 5 United States 
Code Sec.  552a). CMS is reorganizing its databases because of the 
amount of information it collects to administer the Medicare program. 
Retention and destruction of the data contained in these systems will 
follow the schedules listed in the system notice.

EFFECTIVE DATES: CMS filed a report of proposed deletions with the 
Chair of the House Committee on Government Reform and Oversight, the 
Chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental 
Affairs, and the Administrator, Office of Information and Regulatory 
Affairs, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on 11/30/2006. To ensure 
that all parties have adequate time in which to comment, the deletions 
will become effective 30 days from the publication of the notice, or 40 
days from the date it was submitted to OMB and Congress, whichever is 
later, unless CMS receives comments that require alterations to this 
notice.

ADDRESSES: The public should address comments to: CMS Privacy Officer, 
Division of Privacy Compliance, Enterprise Architecture and Strategy 
Group, Office of Information Services, CMS, Room N2-04-27, 7500 
Security Boulevard, Baltimore, Maryland 21244-1850. Comments received 
will be available for review at this location, by appointment, during 
regular business hours, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.-3 p.m.,
