SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy
Act of 1974, as amended, DOI is rescinding the following six FWS SORNs
from its system of records inventory. FWS consolidated all permits
systems of records under the INTERIOR/FWS-21, Permits System, SORN. FWS
also determined during a routine review that the two law enforcement
SORNs were superseded by a Department-wide law enforcement SORN,
INTERIOR/DOI-10, DOI Law Enforcement Records Management System (LE
RMS). Therefore, DOI is rescinding these FWS SORNs to avoid duplication
in accordance with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular
A-108, Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and
Publication under the Privacy Act.
INTERIOR/FWS-5, National Wildlife Refuge Special Use
Permits. The records in this system were migrated to and are maintained
under the consolidated permits system, INTERIOR/FWS-21, Permits System,
89 FR 2230 (January 12, 2024).
INTERIOR/FWS-7, Water Development Project and/or Effluent
Discharge Permit Application Review. The records in this system were
migrated to and are maintained under the consolidated permits system,
INTERIOR/FWS-21, Permits System, 89 FR 2230 (January 12, 2024).
INTERIOR/FWS-10, National Fish Hatchery Special Use
Permits. The records in this system were migrated to and are maintained
under the consolidated permits system, INTERIOR/FWS-21, Permits System,
89 FR 2230 (January 12, 2024).
INTERIOR/FWS-20, Investigative Case File System. This
system supported records of FWS law enforcement activities that are
maintained under the Department-wide law enforcement SORN, INTERIOR/
DOI-10, DOI Law Enforcement Records Management System (LE RMS), 89 FR
1594 (January 10, 2024).
INTERIOR/FWS-22, U.S. Deputy Game Warden. This system
supported records of FWS law enforcement activities that are maintained
under the Department-wide law enforcement SORN, INTERIOR/DOI-10, DOI
Law Enforcement Records Management System (LE RMS), 89 FR 1594 (January
10, 2024).
INTERIOR/FWS-30, Marine Mammals Management, Marking,
Tagging and Reporting Program. The records in this system were migrated
to and are maintained under the consolidated permits system, INTERIOR/
FWS-21, Permits System, 89 FR 2230 (January 12, 2024).
Rescinding these SORNs will have no adverse impacts on individuals
as the records previously maintained on FWS permitting activities are
covered under the consolidated INTERIOR/FWS-21, Permits System, SORN.
FWS law enforcement records are maintained under the published
Department-wide law enforcement SORN, INTERIOR/DOI-10, DOI Law
Enforcement Records Management System (LE RMS). These rescindments will
eliminate unnecessary duplicate notices and promote the overall
streamlining and management of DOI Privacy Act systems of records in
accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB Circular A-108, Federal
Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and Publication under
the Privacy Act.
