DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records
AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Office of General Counsel
(OGC).
ACTION: Rescindment of a system of records.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA), is giving notice of its intent to rescind the
Privacy Act system of records. ``Claimant Private Relief Legislative
Files-VA'' (06VA026), from its existing inventory. During a review of
VA system of records notices, it was determined that this system of
records notice is no longer necessary as the records in the system,
which reported the introduction, documentation, and passage of private
relief bills on behalf of Veterans, their beneficiaries, and their
dependents, are covered under the General Counsel Legal Automation
Workload System (GCLAWS)-VA (144VA026) system of records notice. This
rescindment will promote the overall streamlining and management of the
VA Privacy Act system of records.
DATES: Comments on this rescindment notice 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 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 review the comments to determine whether any changes to the
notice are necessary.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted through <a href="http://www.Regulations.gov">www.Regulations.gov</a> or
mailed to VA Privacy Service, 810 Vermont Avenue NW, (005R1A),
Washington, DC 20420. Comments should indicate that they are submitted
in response to ``Claimant Private Relief Legislative Files-VA''
(06VA026). Comments received will be available at <a href="http://regulations.gov">regulations.gov</a> for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy
Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, VA is rescinding the 06VA026,
Claimant Private Relief Legislative Files, system of records notice
because it is no longer needed as the records are covered under VA
144VA026, General Counsel Legal Automation Workload System (GCLAWS)
(September 19, 2007). Private relief legislation has been used to bring
relief to those who have suffered a bona fide loss but have no recourse
through the existing legal system at that time. The system includes
bills, Congressional reports, agency reports, testimony, and copies of
remarks made in Congress in support of the bill. Most of the files
contain legislation granting individuals relief in situations that
currently would be handled through the statutory process for
administrative error and equitable relief (described at 38 U.S.C. 503)
or the submission of a claim pursuant to the Federal Tort Claims Act
and there are no longer any files maintained in connection with this
system.
Rescinding the, Claimant Private Relief Legislative Files-VA
(06VA026) system of records notice will have no adverse impacts on
individuals as any legacy information associated with 06VA026
inadvertently maintained will be located within General Counsel Legal
Automation Workload System (GCLAWS)-VA (144VA026) and any newly filed
private relief bills will also be maintained within (GCLAWS). This
rescindment will also promote management and streamlining of VA Privacy
Act systems of records.
