Administration (FCA) is publishing an amended system notice pertaining
to financial management records. The system notice provides information

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This publication satisfies the requirement
of the Privacy Act of 1974 that an agency publish a system notice in
the Federal Register when there is a revision, change, or addition to
the system of records. The FCA did not file a System Report with
Congress and the Office of Management and Budget because the changes
were minor. There were no significant changes to this system of

clearly identify the types of Agency records maintained in this system,
the purposes for this system of records, and the sources of
information.
