Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

AGENCY:

Department of State.

ACTION:

Rescindment of a system of records notice.

SUMMARY:

The “Post Capabilities Database, State-71” which is being rescinded, contained information which was used and reviewed by medical and administrative personnel to make clearance decisions for individuals eligible to participate in the State Department Medical program (MED) and as a reference for local medical capabilities. It was also used as a directory of MED employees working overseas.

DATES:

On May 5, 2023, the Department of State published a notice in the Federal Register (88 FR 29171) stating that records in State-71 were being consolidated with “Medical Records, State-24” into a single modified State-24 because the records and system purposes were substantially similar. The consolidation of these two systems of records into State-24 became effective on June 5, 2023.
