DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Bureau of Reclamation
Privacy Act of 1974; as Amended; Amendments to Existing Systems
of Records
AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, Interior.
ACTION: Proposed amendment of existing systems of records.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a),
the Bureau of Reclamation is issuing public
[[Page 20950]]
notice of its intent to amend 22 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 received on or before May 27, 2008 will be considered.
ADDRESSES: Any persons interested in commenting on these proposed
amendments may do so by submitting comments in writing to the Bureau of
Reclamation Privacy Act Officer, Mr. Casey Snyder, Bureau of
Reclamation, 84-21300, Building 67, P.O. Box 25007, Denver, Colorado
80225 or by e-mail to csnyder@do.usbr.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bureau of Reclamation Privacy Act
Officer, Mr. Casey Snyder, at 303-445-2048.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 22, 2007, in a memorandum for 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 Bureau of Reclamation, 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. Reclamation will publish a revised notice if
changes are made based upon a review of comments received.
Dated: March 14, 2008.

Chief Information Officer, Denver Office.
