Placement Program agencies.

this rescinded system of records must be received no later than 30 days 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 the 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 on magnetic tapes which are stored at the Austin Information 
Technology Center, and paper documents (printouts) were maintained at 
VA Central Office and the health care facilities.
