# ACTION:

Rescindment of a system of records notice.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    EPA has the authority to recover costs associated with its response to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances, or discharges or threatened discharges of oil. To support the recovery of certain removal costs associated with threatened or actual discharges of oil, EPA submits a Cost Recovery Package (CRP) to the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG). Previously, EPA used SCORPIOS to prepare the CRP; however, because SCORPIOS uses old technology that has become difficult and expensive for the Agency to maintain, the SCORPIOS system (EPA-39) is replaced with the more modern e-Recovery system (EPA-90). The information previously stored in SCORPIOS is now stored in the e-Recovery system. Information about the e-Recovery system and its system of records notice was published in the                     **Federal Register**                     (86 FR 31,307) on June 11, 2021                

### SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:

SCORPIOS, EPA-39.

### HISTORY:
