 Department of State 22 CFR Part 171
[Public Notice: 12539]
RIN 1400-AF86
 AGENCY: Department of State.
 ACTION: Final rule.
 SUMMARY: 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this SORN was disposed of when the State Archiving System (SAS) was decommissioned in May 2020, and this SORN has been rescinded.
 DATES: rule is effective on September 30, 2024.
 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 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.


SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The System of Records Notice (SORN) State-29, Personality Index to the Central Foreign Policy Records, has been rescinded.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).
                    ( print 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. Regulatory Analysis 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.
