SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Army Continuing Education System Records, A0621-1 AHRC (January 
31, 2011; 76 FR 5351) was established to document, monitor, manage, and 
administer the attendance at a civilian training agency or civilian 
school. The Army is rescinding A0621-1 AHRC because the records are 
covered under the Defense Training Records SORN, DoD-0005 (December 28, 
2020; 85 FR 84316).
    The Army Personnel System (APS), A0600-8-104 (July 18, 2019; 84 FR 
34373) was established to manage the career, administer benefits, 
document military service, and safeguard the Soldier's rights while in 
service of the nation. The Army is rescinding A0600-8-104 because the 
records are covered under the Military Human Resource Records, DoD-0020 
(May 15, 2024; 89 FR 42459).
    The Army Housing Operations Management Systems (HOMES), A0210-50

Army housing program; to provide housing and related services for 
military personnel, their dependents, and qualified civilian employees; 
to render reports; to investigate complaints and related matters. The 
Army is rescinding A0210-50 DAIM because the systems were
