AGENCY

Business Utilization (OSDBU).
ACTION
: Notice of a modified system of
records.
SUMMARY
: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of
1974, notice is hereby given that the VA
is modifying the system of records
entitled, ‘‘Veterans Enterprise
Management System (VEMS)–VA’’
(181VAOSDBU). This system provides
VA personnel with access to resources
that allow them to perform market
research on Veteran Owned Small
Businesses (VOSB) and Service-
Disabled Veteran Owned Small
Businesses (SDVOSB). The system also
provides a platform for registration and
announcement of VA OSDBU supported
events, as well as provides OSDBU with
the data and reports needed to manage
their responsibilities under the Veterans
Entrepreneurship and Small Business
Development Act of 1999.
DATES
: Comments on this modified
system of records must be received no
later than 30 days after date of
publication in the Federal Register. If
no public comment is received during
the period allowed for comment or
unless otherwise published in the
Federal Register by VA, the modified
system of records will become effective
a minimum of 30 days after date of
publication in the Federal Register. If
VA receives public comments, VA shall
review the comments to determine
whether any changes to the notice are
necessary.
ADDRESSES
: Comments may be
submitted through www.Regulations.gov
or mailed to VA Privacy Service, 810
Vermont Avenue NW, (005X6F),
Washington, DC 20420. Comments
should indicate that they are submitted
in response to Veterans Enterprise
Management System VA VetBiz Portal-
VA (181VAOSDBU). Comments
received will be available at
regulations.gov for public viewing,
inspection or copies.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

Utilization at 810 I Street NW,
Washington, DC 20420, osdbuexeccorr@
va.gov and (202) 461–4600 (Note: this is
not a toll-free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
: The
purpose of this modified system of
records is to notify that VA will no
longer gather information to substantiate
that small businesses owned and
controlled by Veterans are qualified for
contracts under the Vets First Program.
The Small Business Administration has
taken over these functions as directed in
the William H. (Mac) Thornberry
National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2021. The social security
number and date of birth fields will be
stripped from the system contact
records. Personal and professional
papers gathered to support the
Verification Program will be disposed of
in accordance with applicable records
control schedule.
The Report of Intent to Amend a
System of Records Notice and an
advance copy of the system notice have
been sent to the appropriate
Congressional committees and to the
Director of the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) as required by the
Privacy Act and guidelines issued by
OMB, December 12, 2000.
