DOE publishes new system of records for NCEE Evaluation Studies, rescinds multiple prior SORNs

What happened

The U.S. Department of Education issued a Federal Register notice establishing a new system of records titled “National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance (NCEE) Evaluation Studies.” The notice also rescinds eight prior system of records notices, consolidating those records under the new system. The action is taken under the Privacy Act of 1974 to improve efficiency in research and evaluation functions.

Why it matters for trust and compliance

• Its status is published. It is enacted but may not be in force yet. Check the effective date before planning around it.
