This system notice will be included in the Agency inventory of record systems. All persons are advised that, in the absence of submitted comments considered by the Agency as warranting modification of the notice as here proposed, it is the intention of the Agency that the notice shall be effective upon expiration of the comment period without further action. DATES: Written comments on the system’s routine uses must be submitted on or before March 4, 2022. This system will be effective upon publication.

schedules for NARA's approval. Once approved by NARA, records schedules 
provide mandatory instructions on what happens to records when no 
longer needed for current Government business. The records schedules 
authorize agencies to preserve records of continuing value in the 
National Archives or to destroy, after a specified period, records 
lacking continuing administrative, legal, research, or other value.
