SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy 
Act of 1974, as amended, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture (USDA, the Department) Animal and Plant Health Inspection 
Service (APHIS) is rescinding the system of records notice, National 
Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN), USDA/APHIS-5, and removing it 
from its inventory. This system was used to support activities 
conducted by the agency and maintain records pursuant to its missions 
and responsibilities authorized by the Animal Health Protection Act (7 
U.S.C. 8301-8317); Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness 
and Response Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107-188); Homeland Security 
Presidential Directive-7; and Homeland Security Presidential Directive-
9.
    The purpose of NAHLN was to coordinate and network USDA's National 
Veterinary Services Laboratories with the capacity, facilities, 
professional expertise, and support of State and university 
laboratories. The network provides an extensive infrastructure of 
facilities, equipment, and personnel that is geographically accessible 
in the event of an animal health emergency.
    The Department is rescinding this system of records because the 
records previously maintained in the system are now maintained within 
the system of records titled ``Animal Health, Disease, and Pest 
Surveillance and Management System, USDA/APHIS-15,'' which supports 
APHIS' mission of protecting and improving the health, quality, and 
marketability of animals within the United States and response to 
animal health emergencies.
    Rescinding the National Animal Health Laboratory Network notice 
will have no adverse impacts on individuals as the records are covered 
by and maintained under the Animal Health, Disease, and Pest 
Surveillance and Management System, USDA/APHIS-15. This notice hereby 
rescinds the National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN) system 
of records notice as identified below.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
    National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN), USDA/APHIS-5.

HISTORY:
    National Animal Health Laboratory Network (NAHLN), USDA/APHIS-5, 
was published as a new system on August 18, 2010, in its entirety in 
the Federal Register (75 FR 50987-50990; Docket No. APHIS-2008-0125). 
There were no other published modifications.

    Done in Washington, DC, this 16th day of October 2024.
Michael Watson,
Administrator, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.
