action regarding such research projects).

DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS 

AFFAIRS 

Privacy Act Of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs 

(VA). 

ACTION: Notice of amendment to systems 

of records. 

SUMMARY: As required by the Privacy 

Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a(e), notice is 

hereby given that the Department of 

Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending two 

existing systems of records 121VA19, 

‘‘National Patient Databases—VA’’, and 

136VA19E, ‘‘Library Network 

(VALNET)—VA’’ to: Add a routine use 

relating to releasing information to 

agencies in the event of fraud or abuse. 

VA is also amending the 121VA19 

system of records by amending the 

routine use relating to releasing 

information to the General Services 

Administration and the revision of 

Appendix 4 is being amended for 

additional databases. 

DATES: Comments on the amendment of 

these systems of records must be 

received no later than December 27, 

2010. If no public comment is received, 

the amended system will become 

effective December 27, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be 

submitted through www.Regulation.gov; 

by mail or hand-delivery to Director, 

Regulations Management (02REG), 

Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 

Vermont Avenue, NW., Room 1068,

Privacy Officer, Department of Veterans 

Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, NW., 

Washington, DC 20420; telephone (704) 

245–2492. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VA 

provides health care services to many of 

America’s Veterans through the 

Veterans Health Administration. During 

the course of providing health care, 

VHA collects medical and health 

information on Veterans. In order to 

protect Veteran’s medical or health 

information VHA is adding one routine 

use and amending one routine use to 

one existing system of records 

(121VA19) and one routine use to one 

other existing system of records 

(136VA19E). 

Additional Routine Uses 

The routine use added to 121VA19 

and 136VA19E would permit VA to 

disclose information to other Federal 

agencies which may be made to assist 

such agencies in preventing and 

detecting possible fraud or abuse by 

individuals in their operations and 

programs. 

The routine use added to these two 

systems of records would permit 

disclosures by the Department to report 

a suspected incident of identity theft 

and provide information and/or 

documentation related to or in support 

of the reported incident. 

The routine use being amended to 

121VA19 would permit VA to disclose 

information to the National Archives 

and Records Administration (NARA) 

and the General Services 

Administration (GSA) in records 

management inspections conducted 

under authority of Title 44, Chapter 29, 

of the United States Code (U.S.C.). 

NARA and GSA are responsible for 

management of old records no longer 

actively used, but which may be 

appropriate for preservation, and for the 

physical maintenance of the Federal 

Government’s records. VA must be able 

to provide the records to NARA and 

GSA in order to determine the proper 

disposition of such records. 

Appendix 4 has been amended to 

include Defense and Veterans Eye Injury 

Registry (DVEIR)—VA Service-Related 

Eye Injury Data Store, Embedded 

Fragment Registry (EFR), The Electronic 

Surveillance System for the Early 

Notification of Community-Based 

Epidemics (ESSENCE), Veterans 

Informatics, Information and Computing 

Infrastructure (VINCI), and Dental 

Encounter System. 

The Report of Intent to Amend these 

Systems of Records Notice and an 

advance copy of the systems notice have 

been sent to the appropriate 

Congressional committees and to the 

Director of the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) as required by 5 

U.S.C. 552a(r) (Privacy Act) and 

guidelines issued by OMB (65 FR 

77677), December 12, 2000. 

Approved: November 3, 2010. 

John R. Gingrich, 

Chief of Staff, Department of Veterans Affairs. 

Notice of Amendment of Systems of 

Records 

1. In the system identified as 

121VA19, ‘‘National Patient Databases— 

VA,’’ as set forth in the Federal Register, 

73 FR 16103, and last amended in the 

Federal Register on March 26, 2008. 

One new routine use is added as 

follows:
