Privacy Act of 1974; Notice of the Removal of a System of Records

Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), the Procurement Policy and Review Group, Management and Planning Staff, Justice Management Division (JMD) is removing a published Privacy Act system of records entitled ``Delegations of Procurement Authority (DPA), JUSTICE/JMD-018.'' JUSTICE/JMD-018 was last published in the Federal Register on October 10, 1995, (60 FR 52704).

The DPA is no longer being used or maintained. The system was originally used, as part of a pre-award review of contract actions above a certain threshold, to ensure contracting officers in the Department's bureaus were exercising their procurement authority in accordance with the terms of their delegations. The system was also used to track training and career progression of bureau contracting officers. On May 31, 1995, the Procurement Executive discontinued the practice of performing pre-award reviews of all contract actions, including checks of contracting officers' delegations. In addition, consistent with the Justice Acquisition Regulations (63 FR 16118- 16136), which delegate the responsibility of developing and managing career development programs to the bureaus, the DPA is no longer used for career development purposes.
