SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This publication is in accordance with the 
Privacy Act requirement that agencies publish their amended SOR in the 
Federal Register when there is revision, change, or addition. VA OIG 
has reviewed its SOR notices and has determined its record system, 
known as ``The Office of Inspector General Management Information 
System (MIS)--VA'' (71VA53), should be rescinded to reflect evolving 
technology and procedures, to conform to current practice, and to 
reflect current authorities. The SOR is being rescinded because the 
records are maintained as part of Governmentwide SORs, including Office 
of Personnel Management (OPM) GOVT-1- General Personnel Records, and 
OPM GOVT-2-Employee Performance.
