Privacy Act of 1974; System of Records

摘要

The External Research Records, State-10, which is being rescinded, captured information to manage the consultant program and other external research related activities. Information in this system was used in the preparation of reports on work performed by consultants/experts and in the preparation of periodic summaries of financial commitments for approved projects and stored in a secure repository that allowed for search, retrieval, and view when necessary. The Department of State, by separate Federal Register notice, will also be rescinding the Final Rule associated with State-10 that added State- 10 to a list of systems exempt from Privacy Act provisions (22 U.S.C. 171.26).
