appropriate legal or regulatory authority. This notice is a compilation 
of the revised and cancelled notices. The notice includes thirteen 
revised GSA-wide system of records notices that update administrative

ADDRESSES: GSA Privacy Act Officer (CIB), General Services 
Administration, 1800 F Street, NW., Washington, DC 20405.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: GSA undertook and completed an agency-wide 
review of its Privacy Act systems of records. As a result of the 
review, GSA is publishing updated Privacy Act systems of records 
notices and canceling obsolete systems. Rather than make numerous 
piecemeal revisions, GSA is republishing updated notices for thirteen 
of its systems and canceling eighteen. Nothing in the revised system 
notices indicates a change in authorities or practices regarding the 
collection and maintenance of information. Nor do the changes impact 
individuals' rights to access or amend their records in the systems of 
records.
    The table of contents provides a list of the revised notices 
included in this publication and the cancelled notices. (See attached.)

    Dated: August 14, 2006.

Director, Office of Information Management.

GSA may report current (not delinquent) and delinquent consumer or 
commercial debts to these entities to aid the collection of debts,
