SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: One of the purposes of the Privacy Act of 
1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 552(a)(e)(4)), stated in section 2(b)(4) of 
the Act, is to provide people with certain safeguards against an 
invasion of privacy when a Federal agency collects, stores, and uses 
personal information. As a result, the Act requires Federal agencies to 
ensure that any record of identifiable personal information is current 
and accurate for its intended use, that the agency is providing 
adequate safeguards to prevent misuse of such information, and that the 
agency is not sharing the information unless such action is for a 
necessary and lawful purpose. NARA follows these principles.
    NARA 31 consisted of information that NARA collected from employees 
at our College Park facility who were interested in participating in a 
ride share program we sponsored for employees' benefit. The information 
included peoples' names, addresses, NARA organizational unit, and work 
phone number. We provided the information to other employees who 
expressed an interest in sharing rides for daily commuting to the 
facility. The records in this system consisted of both paper and 
electronic records, were temporary in nature, and we routinely 
destroyed them in accordance with disposition instructions in NARA's 
Records Schedule.
    In the last few years, however, the need for an employee ride share 
program has died out and we no longer have a reason to maintain the 
information or the system. NARA employees are able to make use of 
social media and other similar methods to connect with each other and 
coordinate rides, so the need for the agency to manage a program is 
gone. As a result, and in compliance with the Privacy Act's tenets that 
any personal information an agency keeps is both up-to-date relevant, 
and necessary, we have closed down the system of records, destroyed the 
last version of the information contained within it, and are now 
rescinding the SORN for this system.
System Name and Number:
    NARA 31, Ride Share Locator Database.

History:
    We last reviewed, updated, and published the notice for this system 
of records in the Federal Register on December 20, 2013 (78 FR 77255, 
December 20, 2013), along with the rest of our SORNs.
