ACTION: Proposed amendment of existing Privacy Act systems of records. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a), the National Park Service, Department of the Interior is issuing public notice of its intent to amend 19 existing Privacy Act system of records notices to add a new routine use to authorize the disclosure of records to individuals involved in responding to a breach of Federal data. DATES: Comments must be received by December 8, 2008. ADDRESSES: Any persons interested in commenting on these proposed amendments may do so by submitting comments in writing to the National Park Service Privacy Act Officer, Diane Cooke, U.S. Department of the Interior, 1849 C Street, NW. (2550), Washington, DC 20240, or by e-mail to [email protected]. Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: National Park Service Privacy Act Officer, Diane Cooke, U.S. Department of the Interior, 1849 C Street, NW. (2550), Washington, DC 20240, or by e-mail to [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 22, 2007, in a memorandum to the heads of Executive Departments and Agencies entitled ``Safeguarding Against and Responding to the Breach of Personally Identifiable Information,'' the Office of Management and Budget directed agencies to develop and publish a routine use for disclosure of information in connection with response and remedial efforts in the event of a data breach. This routine use will serve to protect the interest of the individuals whose information is at issue by allowing agencies to take appropriate steps to facilitate a timely and effective response to the breach, thereby improving its ability to prevent, minimize or remedy any harm resulting from a compromise of data maintained in its systems of records. Accordingly, the National Park Service of the Department of the Interior is proposing to add a new routine use to authorize disclosure to appropriate agencies, entities, and persons, of information maintained in the following systems in the event of a data breach. These amendments will be effective as proposed at the end of the comment period unless comments are received which would require a contrary determination. The Department will publish a revised notice if changes are made based upon a review of comments received. Dated: May 05, 2008. Diane Cooke, National Park Service Privacy Act Officer.
