stopped maintaining the records on September 1, 2016 (following the 
retention/destruction period). Comments on this rescindment notice must 
be received no later than 30 days after date of publication in the 
Federal Register. If no public comment is received during the period 
allowed for comment, or unless otherwise published in the Federal 
Register by VA, the rescindment will become effective a minimum of 30 
days after date of publication in the Federal Register. If VA receives 
public comments, VA shall review the comments to determine whether any 
changes to the notice are necessary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Categories of individuals covered by the

maintained in electronic and paper form. Each format may have included 
names, social security numbers, or other assigned identifiers of the 
individuals on whom they were maintained.
    This system of records notice is being rescinded since VA no longer 
maintains these records. The VA National Chaplain Center disestablished 
the National Chaplain Management Information System Records on 
September 1, 2009. This electronic records information system and
