SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department rescinds the following six 
systems of records from its inventory of systems of records subject to

subsection (r) of the Privacy Act, which requires submission of a 
report to the Office of Management and Budget and the committees of

program eligibility and benefits for Federal student financial 
assistance under the programs authorized by under title IV of the 
Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), enforce the conditions 
and terms of a title IV of the HEA loan or grant, counsel an individual 
in repayment efforts, investigate possible fraud and verify compliance 
with program regulations, locate a delinquent or defaulted debtor, and 
initiate legal action against an individual involved in program fraud 
or abuse. The Department rescinds this system of records because the 
records previously maintained in the system are now maintained within 
the system of records titled ``National Student Loan Data System 
(NSLDS)'' (18-11-06), which was last published in the Federal Register 
on September 9, 2019 (84 FR 47265).
    The system of records titled ``Student Account Manager'' (18-11-08) 
relates to records maintained for various purposes relating to students

participating in and administering the title IV of the HEA programs by 
verifying the eligibility of borrowers and tracking loans, and to 
assist the Department's oversight and administration of the title IV of 
the HEA programs, including evaluating their effectiveness. The 
Department rescinds this system of records because the records 
previously maintained within this system are now maintained in the 
systems of records titled ``Federal Student Aid Application File'' (18-
11-01), which was last published in the Federal Register on October 29, 
2019 (84 FR 57856), and ``Common Origination and Disbursement (COD)

have, their identity authenticated for the purpose of electronically 
completing and signing promissory notes and other documents under the 
Student Financial Assistance Program authorized by title IV of the HEA. 
The Department rescinds this system of records because the records 
previously maintained in the system are now maintained in the system of 
records titled ``Person Authentication Service (PAS)'' (18-11-12), 
which was published in the Federal Register on March 20, 2015 (80 FR 
14981).
    The system of records titled ``FSA Students Portal'' (18-11-14) was 
required because Federal Student Aid (FSA) modified the existing FSA 
Students Portal to bring together into one, simple website all the 
information and productivity tools relevant to FSA's customers. The 
Department rescinds this system of records because it has been 
discontinued. The records previously maintained in this system are now
