Department of Education December 24, 2015 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (Privacy Act), the Department of Education (Department) publishes this notice to amend the systems of records entitled ``Debarment and Suspension Proceedings under Executive Order (EO) 12549, the Drug-Free Workplace Act, and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)'' (18-03- 01)(Debarment and Suspension Proceedings system) and ``Education's Central Automated Processing System (EDCAPS)'' (18-03-02). The Department deletes two systems of records entitled ``Receivables Management System'' (18-03-03) and the ``Travel Manager System'' (18- 03-05) from its existing inventory of systems of records subject to the Privacy Act. For the Debarment and Suspension Proceedings system, this notice updates the system location; the authority for maintenance of the system; the routine uses of records maintained in the system; the policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, and disposing of records in the system (specifically the retention and disposal of system records); the safeguards that protect the records in the system; and the system managers and addresses. For the EDCAPS system, this notice updates the system location; the categories of individuals covered by the system; the categories of records in the system; the authority for maintenance of the system; purposes of the system; the routine uses of records maintained in the system; the policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, and disposing of records in the system; and the system managers and addresses. The Department identifies the system of records ``Receivables Management System'' (18-03-03), as published in the Federal Register on June 4, 1999 (64 FR 30106, 30116-18) to be deleted because the records on individuals who are covered by this system of records are maintained in the Department's EDCAPS system of records (18-04-04). The Department also identifies the system of records ``Travel Manager System'' (18-03- 05), as published in the Federal Register on February 7, 2002 (67 FR 5908-10), to be deleted because the Department migrated to the General Services Administration's (GSA's) Contracted Travel Services Program on October 2, 2006, and consequently the Department's system has been replaced by the GSA's Government wide system of records notice entitled ``Contracted Travel Services Program'' (GSA/GOVT-4), as published in the Federal Register on June 3, 2009 (74 FR 26700-702).

In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. chapter 3501 et seq.), ED is proposing a revision of an existing information collection.
