-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5
U.S.C. 552a), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is issuing public
notice of its intent to modify an existing Privacy Act system of
records notice, USGS-24, ``Employee Work Report Edit and Individual

System Location and the System Manager. In addition, it adds, deletes,
and revises language under several sections of the notice.
EFFECTIVE DATE: 5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11) requires that the public be
provided a 30-day period in which to comment on the intended use of the
information in the system of records. The Office of Management and
Budget, in its Circular A-130, requires an additional 10-day period
(for a total of 40 days) in which to make these comments. Any persons
interested in commenting on this revised system of records may do so by
submitting comments in writing to the U.S. Department of the Interior,
U.S. Geological Survey, USGS Privacy Act Officer, National Center, MS-
807, 12202 Sunrise Valley, Drive, Reston, VA 20192. Comments received
within two days of publication in the Federal Register (December 21,
1998), will be considered. The system will be effective as proposed at
the end of the comment period, unless comments are received which would
require a contrary determination.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to U.S. Department of the Interior,
U.S. Geological Survey, USGS Privacy Act Officer, National Center, MS-
807, Reston, Virginia, 20192. Hand deliver comments to the same

National Mapping Division, U.S. Geological Survey, National Center, MS-
558, Reston, Virginia 20192.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The USGS is proposing to amend the system
notice for USGS-24, ``Employee Work Report Edit and Individual Employee
Production Rates,'' to more accurately and clearly describe the
addresses of the System Location and the System Manager; to change the
word Production to All in Categories of Individual in the System; to
delete several words in Categories of Records in the System; to
redefine the Storage media; and to more clearly define the procedures
under Notification, Record Access, and Contesting Record Procedures.
