SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
The Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(4) and (11)) requires the
Department to publish in the Federal Register this notice of an altered
system of records. The Department's regulations implementing the
Privacy Act are contained in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) in
34 CFR part 5b.
The Privacy Act applies to any record about an individual that is
maintained in a system of records from which individually identifying
information is retrieved by a unique identifier associated with each
individual, such as a name or social security number (SSN). The
information about each individual is called a ``record,'' and the
system, whether manual or computer-based, is called a ``system of
records.''
The Privacy Act requires each agency to publish notices of systems
of records in the Federal Register and to prepare and send reports to
the Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
OMB whenever the agency publishes a new or altered system of records.
Each agency is also required to send copies of the report to the Chair
of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
and the Chair of the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight
and Government Reform. These reports are included to permit an
evaluation of the probable effect of the proposal on the privacy rights
of individuals.
Since the last publication of the FOIA and PA Tracking System of
records in the Federal Register on June 4, 1999 (64 FR 30106, 30119-
22), a number of changes have been identified that are needed to update
and accurately depict the current state of the system of records.
The changes in the attached notice for the FOIA and PA Tracking
System are numerous.
First, the system location has been updated to reflect the
relocation of the Department's data center; to change its numbering
from 18-04-02 to 18-05-20, and change the system location from the
Office of the Chief Information Officer (CIO) to the Office of
Management (OM).
Second, the paragraph in the notice describing the categories of
individuals covered by the system is being updated to include
individuals who have submitted requests for FOIA administrative
appeals; individuals whose requests for records have been referred to
the Department by other agencies; individuals who are the subject of
such requests, appeals; and/or personnel assigned to handle such
requests and appeals.
Third, the paragraph in the notice describing the categories of
records contained in the system originally stated that copies of
requested records were not maintained in the system. This notice is
updating the categories of records in the system to state that copies
of requested records are maintained in the system. In addition, the
categories of records in the system have been updated to include the
following records and related correspondence on individuals:
requester's name, address, telephone number, email address, amount of
fees paid and payment delinquencies, if any; the original requests and
administrative appeals, responses to such requests and appeals, all
related memoranda, correspondence, notes, and other related or
supporting documentation, summary of log, and in some instances, copies
of requested records and records under administrative appeal.
Fourth, the routine uses of records maintained in the system have
been updated and two new routine uses will be added.
The Department proposes to revise routine use (3)(a)(iii)
``Litigation and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Disclosures'' to
permit the Department to disclose certain records from this system to
the parties described in routine use paragraphs (3)(b) ``Disclosure to
the Department of Justice (DOJ),'' (3)(c) ``Administrative
Disclosures,'' and (3)(d) ``Parties, Counsel, Representatives, and
Witnesses'' for any Department employee in his or her individual
capacity if the DOJ has been requested to provide or arrange for
representation of the employee. This proposed routine use is compatible
with this system of records because it will allow the Department to
disclose records from this system of records as needed to obtain legal
representation for Department employees.
The Department proposes to revise routine use (6) ``Labor
Organization Disclosure'' to permit the Department to disclose records
from this system to an arbitrator to resolve disputes under a
negotiated grievance procedure or to officials of labor organizations
recognized under 5 U.S.C. chapter 71 when relevant and necessary to
their duties of exclusive representation. This proposed routine use is
compatible with this system of records because it will permit the
Department to fulfill its statutory obligation to allow a labor
organization to perform its duties of exclusive representation and it
will permit the disclosure of records to arbitrators as needed to
resolve disputes pursuant to negotiated grievance procedures.
The Department also proposes to revise routine use (7) ``Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) and Privacy Act Advice Disclosure'' to permit
the Department to disclose records from this system to the Department
of Justice and OMB if the Department concludes that disclosure is
desirable or necessary in determining whether particular records are
required to be disclosed under the FOIA or the Privacy Act. This
proposed routine use is compatible with the purposes of this system
because it will permit the Department to obtain counsel necessary to
ensure that individual privacy rights are protected and FOIA
requirements are met and followed.
The Department proposes to add a new, routine use (13) ``Disclosure
in the Course of Responding to a Breach of Data'' to permit the
Department to disclose records from this system to appropriate
agencies, entities, and persons when: (a) The Department suspects or
has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in
the system of records has been compromised; (b) the Department has
determined that as a result for the suspected or confirmed compromise
there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity
theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or
other systems or programs (whether maintained by the Department or
another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information;
and (c) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and persons is
reasonably necessary to assist in connection with the Department's
efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and
prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm. This proposed routine use is
compatible with the purposes of the system because it will permit the
Department to take appropriate steps in response to a breach of
personally identifiable information that is maintained in this system
and to abide by the requirements relating to a breach of personally
identifiable information that are set forth in OMB Memorandum 07-16
``Safeguarding Against and Responding to the Breach of Personally
Identifiable Information.''
The Department proposes to add a new, routine use (14) ``Disclosure
to National Archives Records Administration, Office of Government
Information Services (OGIS),'' to the extent necessary to fulfill its
responsibilities in 5 U.S.C. 552(h), to
[[Page 30673]]
review administrative agency policies, procedures and compliance with
the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and to facilitate OGIS' offering
of mediation services to resolve disputes between persons making FOIA
requests and administrative agencies.
Fifth, the policies and practices for storing, retrieving,
accessing, retaining, and disposing of records in the system have been
updated to include storage of data in a computer database, because the
original FOIA and PA Tracking System notice omitted this. Further, the
retention and disposal policy has been updated to comply with the
General Records Schedule (GRS) approved by NARA.
Sixth, the description of safeguards has been updated to include
additional security measures that have been put in place.
Finally, the Department updated the description of the system
managers and their addresses to reflect minor changes in addresses.

See Appendix for additional system locations.
CATEGORIES OF INDIVIDUALS COVERED BY THE SYSTEM:
This system contains records on individuals or their
representatives who have submitted Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or
Privacy Act (PA) requests for records and/or FOIA administrative
appeals with the Department; individuals whose requests for records
