ACTION: Rescindment of a system of records notice.

List, State-03 which is being rescinded, contained contact information

Department briefings on international economic issues, disseminating
speeches and articles on economic issues by Department officials, and
providing U.S. government fact sheets on major international economic
issues.

Business Affairs, State-03 on October 26, 2001. Effective February

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to their age and short-term temporary
nature, the records in ``Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs
Contact List State-03'' are presumed to have been destroyed, in
accordance with the Department's records disposition schedule, since
the Office of Economic Policy Analysis and Public Diplomacy (EB/EPPD)
no longer exists and thus no longer uses or maintains the system of
records, and both EB/EPPD and the Department's Office of Enterprise
Records Management are unable to locate or confirm whether the records
were destroyed. [Note: As of July 14, EB/EPPD no longer exists, and the
Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs is now the Bureau of Economic,
Energy, and Business Affairs. End Note.] The underlying records
previously maintained in this system of records were temporary and
presumed destroyed or deleted in accordance with Disposition Authority
Number DAA-GRS-2017-0002-0002 (GRS 6.5, item 020). As a result, the
information is no longer subject to any routine uses. Due to the age of
this SORN, EB/EPPD and the Enterprise Records Management Office (A/SKS/
PPKM/ERM) are unable to identify a specific date or timeframe of when
the records were destroyed or deleted. State-03 was last published at
66 FR 54320 on October 26, 2001.
SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs Contact List State-03.
