Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, Reclamation is rescinding the system of records notice, INTERIOR/WBR–45, Equipment, Supply, and Service Contracts, from its inventory. This system was used for the administration of contracts for equipment, supplies, materials, and services.
