Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY: Department of the Army, DoD.

ACTION: Notice to reinstate a system of records.

SUMMARY: The Department of the Army (DOA) proposes to reinstate a 
system of records, A0351 AMC, entitled ``Student/Faculty Records: AMC 
Schools Systems'' to its inventory of record systems to the Privacy Act

Federal Register (October 3, 2012, 77 FR 60412), the DOA discovered 
that the records had not yet been transferred to the National Personnel 
Records Center. Therefore, the DOA system of records notice should not 
have been deleted and is being reinstated in full below.

proposed action will be effective on the date following the end of the 
comment period unless comments are received which result in a contrary 
determination.
