SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 
U.S.C. 552a, the FDIC is rescinding two systems of records: FDIC-001, 
Honors Attorney Applicant Records, and FDIC-011, Corporate Applicant 
Recruiting, Evaluating, and Electronic Referral Records. These systems 
of records are being rescinded because the underlying records within 
each are covered by an existing government-wide system of records 
notice (SORN) established by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management 
(OPM) titled OPM/GOVT-5, Recruiting, Examining, and Placement Records 
(last republished in full 79 FR 16834, March 26, 2014). Going forward, 
FDIC will rely on OPM/GOVT-5 alone as the governing SORN for these 
records.
    A Government-wide system of records is one where a single agency 
has regulatory authority over records in the custody of multiple 
agencies, and the agency with regulatory authority publishes a SORN 
that applies to all of the records regardless of their custodial 
location. In such cases, all agencies--not just the agency with 
government-wide responsibilities--are responsible for complying with 
the terms of the SORN. See Office of Management and Budget Circular No. 
A-108, ``Federal Agency Responsibilities for Review, Reporting, and 
Publication under the Privacy Act.'' By rescinding FDIC-001 and FDIC-
011 in favor of OPM/GOVT-5, the FDIC is seeking to ensure that its 
internal privacy practices for these records are consistent with the 
rules of OPM and that individuals whose data is maintained in these 
records are not confused by multiple notices describing the same set of 
records.
    OPM/GOVT-5 was last republished in full in the Federal Register on 
March 26, 2014 (79 FR 16834). It was further modified on December 1, 
2021 (86 FR 68291) and February 2, 2022 (87 FR 5874). Links to this and 
other Government-wide SORNs as well as FDIC SORNs may be found on 
FDIC's Privacy Program website at <a href="https://www.fdic.gov/privacy">https://www.fdic.gov/privacy</a>.
    The rescinded systems of records will be removed from FDIC's 
inventory of record systems.
