SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, the 
Department of Transportation (DOT)/Federal Aviation Administration 
(FAA) proposes to rescind DOT system of records titled, ``DOT/FAA 822--
Aviation Medical Examiner System,'' 65 FR 19522 (April 11, 2000). This 
system of records was established to determine professional 
qualifications and designation authorization (initial and subsequent) 
of Aviation Medical Examiners (AME). The categories of records included 
records necessary to determine professional qualifications of 
physicians designated (initially and subsequently) as AMEs; identify 
the type and location of AMEs within the AME program; monitor AMEs 
performance in support of the Medical Certification Program; and 
monitor AMEs compliance with mandatory training (initial and periodic) 
and other AME designation requirements. The authority for maintenance 
of the system was 49 U.S.C. 44702. Records previously covered by DOT/
FAA 822 will be managed according to the updated DOT/FAA 830, 
Representatives of the Administrator. Consolidation of the Notices 
ensures consistency in the Privacy Act management of all designee 
records. Consequently, rescinding SORN 822 will have no adverse impact 
on individuals. Rescindment will promote the overall streamlining and 
management of DOT Privacy Act systems of records.

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:
    Department of Transportation/Federal Aviation Administration (DOT/
FAA) 822--Aviation Medical Examiner System.

HISTORY:
    A full notice of this system of records, DOT/FAA 822--Aviation 
Medical Examiner System was published in the Federal Register on April 
11, 2000, at 65 FR 19522

    Issued in Washington, DC.

Acting Departmental Chief Privacy Officer.
