compliance violations and response to
such allegations.
DATES: The system was discontinued on
September 17, 2023. Comments on this
rescinded system of records must be
received no later than 30 days after date
of publication in the Federal Register. If
no public comment is received during
the period allowed for comment or
unless otherwise published in the
Federal Register by the VA, the
rescindment will become effective a
minimum of 30 days after date of
publication in the Federal Register. If
VA receives public comments, VA shall

whether any changes to the notice are
necessary.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be
submitted through www.Regulations.gov
or mailed to VA Privacy Service, 810
Vermont Avenue NW, (005X6F),
Washington, DC 20420. Comments

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Stephania Griffin, VHA Chief Privacy
Officer, Department of Veterans Affairs,
810 Vermont Avenue NW, Washington,
DC 20420; telephone (704) 245–2492
(Note: this is not a toll-free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Categories
of individuals covered by the system of
records were employees, Veterans, third
parties such as contractors who conduct
official business with the VHA, family
members or representatives of Veterans,
and subjects of complaints and
complainants. Complainants are
individuals who have reported a
possible violation of law, rules, policies,
regulations, or external program
requirements, such as third-party payer
billing guidelines. Records were
maintained in a computerized database,
paper files, and electronically in a
manner that allowed a user to retrieve
the records by an individual’s name or
other identifier assigned to an
individual. The VHA Office of Integrity
and Compliance, in conjunction with
the VA Office of Information and
Technology, modified the computerized
database to prohibit the retrieval of
electronic records by an individual’s
name or other unique identifier assigned
to an individual.
This system of records notice is being
rescinded for use as the computer
database now only contains records
which are not retrieved by a name or a
unique identifier that can be connected
