DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
Office of the Secretary
31 CFR Part 1
RIN 1505-AC25
Privacy Act; Implementation
AGENCY: Office of Foreign Assets Control, Departmental Offices,
Treasury.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Privacy Act of
1974, as amended, the Department of the Treasury is amending its
regulations due to the consolidation of the existing Office of Foreign
Assets Control (OFAC)-related systems of records by revising the number
and title of the Privacy Act system of records for which an exemption
has been claimed.
DATES: Effective Date: November 8, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Assistant Director, Disclosure
Services, Office of Foreign Assets Control, Department of the Treasury,
1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20220, tel.: 202-622-2510
(not a toll free number), or Chief Counsel (Foreign Assets Control),
Office of General Counsel, Department of the Treasury, 1500
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20220, tel.: 202-622-2410 (not
a toll free number).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Currently, one OFAC-related Privacy Act
systems of records, DO .114--Foreign Assets Control Enforcement
Records, is exempt from provisions of the Privacy Act pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 552a(k)(2). Under 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2), the head of an agency may
promulgate rules to exempt a system of records from certain provisions
of 5 U.S.C. 552a if the system contains investigatory material compiled
for law enforcement purposes. The purpose of the final rule is to
revise the number and title of the system of records for which an
exemption has been claimed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2) as found in
paragraph (g)(1)(i) of Sec. 1.36 to read DO .120--Records Related to
Office of Foreign Assets Control Economic Sanctions to reflect the
proposed revision and consolidation of systems of records, as further
discussed below. No new exemptions are being proposed by this document
and the revision does not affect the scope of the records for which the
exemption pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2) is claimed.
The action amends Sec. 1.36 by revising the title of the system of
records listed in Paragraph (g)(1)(i) from ``DO .114--Foreign Assets
Control Enforcement Records'' to ``DO .120--Records Related to Office
of Foreign Assets Control Economic Sanctions.''
These regulations are being published as a final rule because the
amendments do not impose any requirements on any member of the public
and do not result in any change to the scope of the records for which
the exemption from provisions of the Privacy Act is claimed pursuant to
5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(2). These amendments are the most efficient means for
the Treasury Department to implement its internal requirements for
complying with the Privacy Act.
A proposed notice to consolidate three OFAC-related systems of
records under the Privacy Act will be published separately in a future
issue of the Federal Register. The proposed notice to alter the three
systems of records will consolidate the records into the following
system of records: Treasury/DO .120--Records Related to Office of
Foreign Assets Control Economic Sanctions. This realignment will permit
more precise expression of the data elements and will permit the
published notices to serve more effectively as guides for the public in
understanding how these individually identifiable records are
collected, maintained, disclosed, and used.
Pursuant to Executive Order 12866, it has been determined that this
final rule is not a significant regulatory action, and therefore, does
not require a regulatory impact analysis.
Because no notice of proposed rulemaking is required, the
provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, do not
apply.
