Privacy Act of 1974; systems of records--HCFA. Deletion of Privacy Act System of Records from HCFA Inventory.

On August 21, 1989, HCFA published a notice of a new Privacy Act system of records, "Drug Bill Processor Records on Medicare Prescription Drug Beneficiaries," HHS/HCFA/BPO No. 09-70-0528 (54 FR 34612). This was under the authority of section 1842(o)(4) of the Social Security Act as amended by the Medicare Catastrophic Coverage Act (MCCA) of 1988 (Pub. L 100-360). This system was established to enable HCFA to collect and maintain records on Medicare prescription drug benefits for Medicare beneficiaries. Because the MCCA was repealed by the Congress, we are hereby giving notice that we are deleting this system from our inventory as required by the Privacy Act and Office of Management and Budget guidelines.
