remaining in the system. CUPS is a tool
that creates virtual accounts. The
accounts are created by data
automatically retrieved from the Active
Directory (i.e., first/last name, email,
mail routing number) and Functional
Task Code data manually taken from
Form 9957 submissions. The
information gathered is then passed to
the mainframe system to electronically
validate as a new or existing account.
CUPS do not serve as a repository for
records, it simply passes existing data
from one system to another.

revising the System Number; System
Location; System Manager; Categories of
Records in the System; Records Source
Categories; Routine Uses of Records
Maintained in the System; and Policies
and Practices for Retention and Disposal
of Records. VA is republishing the
system notice in its entirety.
The System Number is being updated
from 89VA10NB to 89VA10 to reflect
the current VHA organizational routing
symbol.
The System Location is being updated
to remove language that shows that
records are also stored at contracted
locations in McLean, Virginia and
Atlanta, Georgia. This section will now
include language that shows that
backup records are also stored at
Disaster Recovery sites located in Hines,
Illinois and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The System Manager is being updated
to remove the following language:
Official responsible for policies and
procedures: Chief Business Office
(10NB2A), VA Central Office, 810
Vermont Avenue NW, Washington, DC
20420. Official maintaining the system:
Director, Health Eligibility Center, 2957
Clairmont Road, Atlanta, Georgia 30329.

Eligibility Center Income Verification
Division by telephone at 1–800–929–

Subsystem-VA’’ (38VA23) is being
removed from this section. This section

The language in Routine Use #7 is
being updated. It previously reflected
the following language: VA may
disclose information in this system of
records to the Department of Justice
(DOJ), either on VA’s initiative or in
response to DOJ’s request for the
information, after either VA or DOJ
determines that such information is
relevant to DOJ’s representation of the
United States or any of its components
in legal proceedings before a court or
adjudicative body, provided that, in
each case, the agency also determines
prior to disclosure that disclosure of the
records to DOJ is a use of the
information contained in the records
that is compatible with the purpose for
which VA collected the records. VA, on
its own initiative, may disclose records
in this system of records in legal
proceedings before a court or
administrative body after determining
that the disclosure of the records to the
court or administrative body is a use of
the information contained in the records
that is compatible with the purpose for
which VA collected the records.
Routine Use #7 will now read as
follows: DOJ, Litigation, Administrative
Proceeding: To the Department of
Justice (DoJ), or in a proceeding before
a court, adjudicative body, or other
administrative body before which VA is
authorized to appear, when:
(a) VA or any component thereof;
(b) Any VA employee in his or her
official capacity;
(c) Any VA employee in his or her
official capacity where DoJ has agreed to
represent the employee; or
(d) The United States, where VA
determines that litigation is likely to
affect the agency or any of its
components,
is a party to such proceedings or has an
interest in such proceedings, and VA
determines that use of such records is
relevant and necessary to the
proceedings.
Routine use #20 is being added to
state, ‘‘To another Federal agency or
