This revision incorporates address and title changes and updated system descriptions. It also incorporates new systems of records that were compiled since the last publication of the Commission's systems of records notices in 2001. This revision proposes to add routine uses that are applicable to all of the Commission's systems of records and to re-identify the systems of records already in existence in a more consistent format. DATES: Comments should be postmarked by March 14, 2011. This notice will become effective without further notice, on the date which is 60 days from the date given above unless otherwise revised pursuant to comments received. ADDRESSES: Written comments may be mailed or delivered to: Office of the Secretariat, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Three Lafayette Centre, 1155 21st Street, NW., Washington, DC 20581. Comments may also be sent by e-mail to http://comments.cftc.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathy Harman-Stokes, Chief Privacy Officer, Office of the Executive Director, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Three Lafayette Centre, 1155 21st Street, NW., Washington, DC 20581. Telephone: (202) 418-6629 or e-mail: [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice alerts the public to the information the Commission collects and maintains on individuals. In compiling and publishing the complete text for all of the Commission systems of records, new routine uses (blanket routine uses) have been added that apply to all of the notices. Since routine uses are permissive in nature, the blanket routine uses and the routine uses listed for each of the systems of records may be used to make a disclosure, but are not required to be used when a requester seeks a record. The responsibility to decide whether a routine use is applicable rests with the Commission. The Commission is also proposing to add a new system of records entitled, Emergency Locator System as CFTC-9. This system of records will contain information about Commission employees and those identified by the employee to contact in the event of a medical or other emergency concerning the employee. The system report, as required by 5 U.S.C. 552a(r) has been submitted to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the United States Senate, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform of the House of Representatives, and the Office of Management and Budget. The Privacy Act The Privacy Act is a Federal law that protects information about individuals that is collected and maintained in a ``system of records'' by an agency of the United States government. In addition to providing the public with information about these systems, the Privacy Act and the Commission's rules limit the agency's ability to use or disclose personal information except for specific purposes. Systems of Records A ``system of records'' is a collection of information about individuals in paper, electronic, or other format, from which information is retrieved by the name of the individual or by some other identifying particular assigned to the individual, such as a social security number or address. The Privacy Act does not cover information about businesses or about individuals who are not U.S. citizens or lawfully admitted aliens. See 5 U.S.C. 522a(5). Each system of records notice contains the following information:The name of the system; The location of the system; The categories of individuals whose records are maintained in the system; The types of records maintained in the system; The authority for maintaining the system; The routine uses of records maintained in the system, including the categories of users and the purposes of such uses; The policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining, and disposing of records in the system; The title and business address of the system manager, the agency official who is responsible for the system of records; How to find out whether the system of records contains a record pertaining to the individual, how the individual may gain access to any record pertaining to the individual contained in the system of records, and how the individual can contest the content of the records; and The categories of sources of records in the system. Exempt Systems of Records The Commission has exempted four systems of records from certain requirements of the Privacy Act, as authorized under 5 U.S.C. 552a(k), because they contain investigatory material: CFTC-1 Enforcement matter register and matter indices (exempted, to the extent it contains records that refer or relate to records covered under CFTC-10, Investigatory Records (exempted)). CFTC-10 Investigatory materials compiled for law enforcement purposes. CFTC-31 Information pertaining to individuals discussed at closed Commission meetings. CFTC-32 Investigatory materials compiled by the Office of the Inspector General. Locations of Systems of Records Each system of records notice tells the public where records are kept. Records may be kept at one or more Commission offices. The Commission offices are in the following locations: Washington, DC: Three Lafayette Centre, 1155 21st Street, NW., Washington, DC 20581, Telephone: (202) 418-5000. Chicago: 525 West Monroe Street, Suite 1100, Chicago, Illinois 60661, Telephone: (312) 596-0700. Kansas City: Two Emanuel Cleaver II Blvd., Suite 300, Kansas City, Missouri 64112, Telephone: (816) 960-7700. New York: 140 Broadway, 19th Floor, New York, New York 10005, Telephone: (646) 746-9700. In the system of records notice, the Commission headquarters office in Washington, DC, is referred to as the ``principal office.'' The regional offices are referred to collectively as the ``regional offices.'' ``All Commission offices'' means the headquarters office and the regional offices. General Statement of CFTC Routine Uses The following ``blanket routine uses'' of records, numbered ``1'' through ``19'' below, apply to every system of records maintained within the Commission. These blanket routine uses of the records are published below only once in the interest of simplicity, economy, [[Page 5975]] and to avoid redundancy. Additional routine uses that apply to a particular Commission system notice are listed in the applicable system notice. The release of records under all routine uses is permissive rather than mandatory. Each of the blanket routine uses is for a purpose which is compatible with the purpose for which the information was originally collected. The following routine uses apply to all CFTC systems of records: 1. Information may be used by the Commission in any administrative proceeding before the Commission, in any injunctive action authorized under the Commodity Exchange Act or in any other action or proceeding in which the Commission or its staff participates as a party or the Commission participates as amicus curiae. 2. Information may be disclosed to the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the United States Postal Service, the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Agriculture, the Office of Personnel Management, and to other Federal, State, local, territorial or Tribal law enforcement or regulatory agencies for use in meeting their statutory and regulatory requirements. 3. Information may be given to any ``registered entity,'' as defined in section 1a of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 1, et seq. (``the Act''), if the Commission has reason to believe that such information will assist the registered entity in carrying out its responsibilities under the Act. Information may also be given to any registered futures association registered under section 17 of the Act (e.g., the National Futures Association) to assist it in carrying out its self-regulatory responsibilities under the Act, and to any national securities exchange or national securities association registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission to assist those organizations in carrying out their self-regulatory responsibilities under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 15 U.S.C. 78a, et seq. 4. At the discretion of the Commission staff, information may be given or shown to anyone during the course of a Commission investigation if the staff has reason to believe that the person to whom it is disclosed may have further information about the matters discussed therein, and those matters appear relevant to the subject of the investigation. 5. Information may be included in a public report issued by the Commission following an investigation, to the extent that this is authorized under section 8 of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 12. Section 8 authorizes publication of such reports but contains restrictions on the publication of certain types of sensitive business information developed during an investigation. In certain contexts, some of this information might be considered personal in nature. 6. Information may be disclosed to a Federal agency in response to its request in connection with the hiring or retention of an employee, the issuance of a security clearance, the reporting of an investigation of an employee, the letting of a contract or the issuance of a license, or a grant or other benefit by the requesting agency, to the extent that the information may be relevant to the requesting agency's decision on the matter. 7. Information may be disclosed to a prospective employer in response to its request in connection with the hiring or retention of an employee, to the extent that the information is believed to be relevant to the prospective employer's decision in the matter. 8. Information may be disclosed to any person, pursuant to Section 12(a) of the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 16(a), when disclosure will further the policies of that Act or of other provisions of law. Section 12(a) authorizes the Commission to cooperate with various other government authorities or with ``any person.'' 9. Where information, either alone or in conjunction with other information indicates a violation or potential violation of law-- criminal, civil, or regulatory in nature--the relevant information may be disclosed to the appropriate Federal, State, local, territorial, Tribal, or foreign law enforcement authority or other appropriate entity charged with the responsibility for investigating or prosecuting such violation or charged with enforcing or implementing such law. 10. Information may be disclosed to the General Services Administration for the purpose of records management inspections conducted under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906. 11. Information may be disclosed to the National Archives and Records Administration for the purpose of records management inspections being conducted under the authority of 44 U.S.C. 2904 and 2906. 12. Information may be disclosed to foreign law enforcement, investigatory, or administrative authorities in order to comply with requirements set forth in international arrangements, such as memoranda of understanding. 13. Information may be disclosed to contractors, grantees, volunteers, experts, students, and others performing or working on a contract, service, grant, cooperative agreement, or job for the Federal government when necessary to accomplish an agency function. 14. Information may be disclosed to the Merit Systems Protection Board, including the Office of Special Counsel for the purpose of litigation, including administrative proceedings, appeals, special studies of the civil service and other merit systems. 15.

Information may be disclosed to a Member of Congress or staff acting upon the Member's behalf when the Member or staff requests the information on behalf of, or at the request of, the individual who is the subject of the record. 17. Information related to any traders or the amount or quantity of any commodity purchased or sold by such traders may be disclosed to any committee of either House of Congress upon its request, acting within the scope of its jurisdiction, pursuant to the Commodity Exchange Act, 7 U.S.C. 1 et seq., including Section 8(e) of such Act at 7 U.S.C. 12, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. 18. Information may be disclosed to another Federal agency, to a court, or a party in litigation before a court or in an administrative proceeding being conducted by a Federal agency, when the Government is a party to the judicial or administrative proceeding. 19. Information may be disclosed to appropriate agencies, entities, and individuals when: [[Page 5976]] a. The Commission suspects or has confirmed that the security or confidentiality of information in the system of records has been compromised; b. The Commission has determined that as a result of 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 Commission or another agency or entity) that rely upon the compromised information; and c.
