State Department Bids Farewell to Old Privacy Record System

## Summary

The Department of State is retiring a record system called State-35 that helped manage requests for information and legal support under privacy and security laws. This change means they’re cleaning up old files and rules to keep things fresh and secure. No big costs or delays—just smoother info handling starting now!

## Abstract

Information Access Programs Records, State-35, which is being rescinded, captures information that helps the Department in the administration of its statutory responsibility for processing requests for access; amendments; appeals; special projects for Congress, the Government Accountability Office, and the Department of Justice in support of court orders and subpoenas; discovery, litigation support, and litigation pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, the Privacy Act of 1974, Executive Order 13526 or a successor order on national security information, and Touhy regulations; and stores them in a secure repository that allows for search, retrieval, and view when necessary. Additionally, the Department of State, by separate Federal Register notice, will also be rescinding the Final Rule associated with State- 35.
