SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 10, 2006 the President established
the Identity Theft Task Force by Executive Order 13402 to strengthen
Federal efforts to protect against identity theft. This notice
establishes a routine use for all Department of Commerce systems of
records to permit disclosure to appropriate persons or entities for
purposes of response and remedial efforts in the event of a suspected
or confirmed breach of the data contained in the systems. This routine
use will facilitate an effective response to such breach by allowing
for disclosure to those individuals affected by the breach, as well as
to others who are in a position to assist the Department's response
efforts, either by assisting in notification to affected individuals or
otherwise assisting in preventing, minimizing, or remedying harms from
any breach. A description of the amendment to the Department's systems
of records is provided below.
