Notice of amendment to system
of records.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: As required by the Privacy
Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a(e), notice is
hereby given that the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending the
system of records currently entitled
‘‘The Office of Inspector General
Management Information System
(MIS)—VA’’ (71VA53) as set forth in the
Federal Register at 47 FR 6513. VA is
amending the system of records by
revising the system location, revising
the Categories of Records in the System,
adding a Purposes section, adding
Routine Uses of Records Maintained in
the System, including Categories of
Users and the Purposes of Such Uses,
and updating Policies and Practices for
Storing, Retrieving, Accessing,
Retaining and Disposing of Records in
the System. VA is republishing the
system notice in its entirety.
DATES: Comments on the amendment of
this system of records must be received
no later than October 29, 2008. If no
public comment is received, the
amended system will become effective
October 29, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Written comments
concerning the proposed amended
system of records may be submitted by:
mail or hand-delivery to Director,
Regulations Management (O2REG),
Department of Veterans Affairs, 810
Vermont Avenue, NW., Room 1068,
Washington, DC 20420; fax to (202)

This
publication is in accordance with the
Privacy Act requirement that agencies
publish their amended system of
records in the Federal Register when
there is revision, change, or addition.
The VA Office of Inspector General
(OIG) has reviewed its systems of
records notices and has determined that
its record system, ‘‘The Office of
Inspector General Management
Information System (MIS)—VA’’
(71VA53) should be amended. The
Categories of Records in the System is
amended to include OIG employees’
contact information to be used in the
event of an emergency, and inclusion of
OIG Hotline and health care inspections
case tracking data as well as information
on personnel suitability investigations
of OIG employees.
This system of records is also
amended by adding a Purposes section
that defines how the records on OIG
employees may be used for various
management and human resources
objectives.
The proposed amendments to this
system of records add seven routine
uses of records. The routine uses are as
follows:
Routine use number 1 allows for
disclosure of information from the
record of an individual in response to
an inquiry from a congressional office
on behalf of that individual.
Routine use number 2 is added to
reflect that disclosure may be made to
the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA). NARA is
responsible for archiving records no
longer actively used but may be
appropriate for preservation, and is
responsible in general for the physical
maintenance of the Federal
government’s records. VA must be able
to turn records over to NARA in order
to determine the proper disposition of
such records.
Routine use number 3 allows VA to
disclose records to the U.S. Department
of Justice. When VA is involved in
litigation or an adjudicative or
administrative process, or occasionally
when another party is involved in
litigation or an adjudicative or
administrative process, and VA policies
or operations could be affected by the
outcome of the litigation or process, VA
must be able to disclose that
information to the court, adjudicative or
administrative bodies, or parties
involved. This routine use would not
constitute authority to disclose records
in response to a grand jury or other
subpoena under Privacy Act subsection
