DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS


Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

ACTION: Deletion of system of records.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Department of Veterans Affairs 
(VA) is deleting a system of records entitled, ``Physician, Dentist and 
Supervisory Nurse Professional Standards Board Action File-VA'' 
(29VA11), which is set forth in the Federal Register publication, 
``Privacy Act Issuances, 1999 Compilation''. The records included a 
collection of personnel forms and correspondence pertaining to 
promotions, reassignments, transfers, proficiency ratings, physical 
examinations, etc., all of which are duplicated in the Professional 
Standards Board and Proficiency Rating Folder (101VA05). This system 
also contained board action folders for former employees who cannot be 
re-employed without approval of the Under Secretary for Health. As a 
result of a review of related systems of records maintained by the 
agency, it was determined there was no longer a need to maintain the 
records in 29VA11, since the records are maintained elsewhere.

DATES: Comments on the deletion of the system of records must be 
received no later than April 15, 2009. If no public comment is received 
during the period allowed for comment or unless otherwise published in 
the Federal Register by the VA, the system will be deleted effective 
April 15, 2009, or 40 days after the notice was approved, whichever is 
latest. The ``Report of Intention to Publish a Deletion of a System of 
Records `` and advance copy of the notice has been been sent to the 
appropriate Congressional committees and to the Director of the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) (Privacy 
Act) and guidelines issued by OMB (61 FR 6428), February 20, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be submitted through 
www.Regulations.gov; by mail or hand-delivery to Director, Regulations 
Management (02Reg), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, 
NW., Room 1068, Washington, DC 20420; or by fax to (202) 273-9026.
