IBM requested a copy of BRMS recovery report.
When STRRCYBRM is run with ACTION(*REPORT), the deleted items do NOT appear in the report.
The deleted items only appear when ACTION(*RESTORE).

I am opening a ticket with IBM BRMS support.
I think the issue is there is old, unexpired, BRMS media that contains the deleted libraries.
*OMITLIB with *DELETE should handle this, but is not.
Changing the dates to the last full system save does work, and is another option.

By "including" those libraries is BRMS just printing them out as items of interest, or is it actually restoring them?
Maybe you should open a ticket.
Would it help to change the dates to only go back to your last full system save?

*OMITLIB set to *DELETE.
*DELETE
Exclude deleted libraries from the recovery. Please note that only
libraries deleted before the last run of Start Maintenance for BRM
(STRMNTBRM) will be omitted.
It "appears" that *DELETE is not WAD.
STRMNTBRM is run daily on all LPARS.

Did you read the help on *OMITLIB?
If so, how often do you run STRMNTBRM?
On one of my systems:
WRKJOBSCDE BRM*

BRMRECOVER is a custom program which creates the BRMS recovery report and stores it as a PDF on three geographically dispersed servers.
The "weekly" entries run all 5 working days.

Subject: STRRCYBRM *SYSTEM *RESTORE - time period for recovery recommendations
When doing a STRRCYBRM *SYSTEM *RESTORE, what are the recommendations for Time period for recovery?
1) Let it default as below, *BEGIN *END?
2) Or should you reference your last system save?
3) Other options?
I found in testing that when you let it default, it includes libraries that are no longer on the system, from old saves that are not expired.
Start time and date:
Beginning time . . . . . . . . *AVAIL
Beginning date . . . . . . . . *BEGIN
End time and date:
Ending time . . . . . . . . . *AVAIL
Ending date . . . . . . . . . *END
Thank You
