This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
Department of State.
Final rule.
The Department of State is removing Personality Index to the Central Foreign Policy Records, State-29, from the list of system of records notices (SORNs) for which Privacy Act exemptions are claimed. The Department has determined that the personality index search tool covered by this SORN was disposed of when the State Archiving System (SAS) was decommissioned in May 2020, and this SORN has been rescinded.
rule is effective on September 30, 2024.
Timothy J. Kootz, Senior Agency Official for Privacy; U.S. Department of State; Office of Global Information Services, A/GIS; Room 4534, 2201 C St., NW; Washington, DC 20520 or by calling on (202) 304 5979.
The System of Records Notice (SORN) State-29, Personality Index to the Central Foreign Policy Records, has been rescinded. See 89 FR 43974 (May 20, 2024). ( printed page 79435)
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a (k)(1), (k)(2), (k)(3), and (k)(7), records in State-29 were exempted from subsections (c)(3), (d), (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (H), (I), and (f). This rulemaking amends 22 CFR 171.26 by removing STATE-29 from the lists of exemptions.
This rulemaking is published as a final rule with immediate effect due to the good cause exemption of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) and 553(d). Since State-29 is no longer a SORN, it cannot be listed in the lists of SORNs exempted from the Privacy Act. Therefore, the Department finds good cause to promulgate this rulemaking, with immediate effect (5 U.S.C. 553(d), and finds that public comment on this rulemaking would be unnecessary.
For the reasons stated in the preamble, 22 CFR part 171 is amended as follows:
1. The authority citation for 22 CFR part 171 continues to read as follows:
2. Section 171.26 is amended by revising paragraphs (b)(1), (2), (3) and (7) as follows:
