Notice is hereby given that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is deleting a system of records entitled, ``Physician, Dentist and Supervisory Nurse Professional Standards Board Action File-VA'' (29VA11), which is set forth in the Federal Register publication, ``Privacy Act Issuances, 1999 Compilation''. The records included a collection of personnel forms and correspondence pertaining to promotions, reassignments, transfers, proficiency ratings, physical examinations, etc., all of which are duplicated in the Professional Standards Board and Proficiency Rating Folder (101VA05). This system also contained board action folders for former employees who cannot be re-employed without approval of the Under Secretary for Health. As a result of a review of related systems of records maintained by the agency, it was determined there was no longer a need to maintain the records in 29VA11, since the records are maintained elsewhere.
