End Preamble Start Supplemental InformationSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-130, the Department has completed a review of its Privacy Act systems of records notices to identify minor changes that will more accurately describe these records.
The following six systems of records have been added to the Department's inventory of Privacy Act notices since September 30, 1998:
1. DO .006—Treasury Child Care Tuition Assistance Records (Published August 31, 2000, at 65 FR 53083).

During the past three years, the Department has published several new or revised Privacy Act notices pertaining to records maintained by the Department involving two or more bureaus. Originally ten of these systems of records had been designated as a “Treasury/DO” system of records. As part of this republication, the designation of the systems of records that pertain to two or more Treasury bureaus is being changed. Rather than being identified as “DO” systems of records, those systems are being designated as “Treasury” systems and are being renumbered as well. In addition, titles of two Treasury-wide systems of records are being changed. The systems of records which are being designated as Treasury-wide systems of records are:
1. Treasury/DO .002—Treasury Integrated Management Information System (TIMIS), last published in its entirety on December 17, 1998, at 63 FR 69719, is designated as “Treasury .001” and is being renamed as “Treasury Payroll and Personnel System”;

7. Treasury/DO .203—Public Transportation Incentive Program Records, last published in its entirety on January 16, 2001, at 66 FR 3646, is designated as “Treasury .005”;
8. Treasury/DO .204—Parking and Carpool Program Records, published as a new Treasury-wide system on December 14, 2000, at 65 FR 78263, is designated as “Treasury .006”;
9. Treasury/DO .210—Integrated Financial Management and Revenue System, last published in its entirety on August 31, 2000, at 65 FR 53085, is designated as “Treasury .009” and is being renamed as “Treasury Financial Management Systems”;
10. Treasury/DO .211—Telephone Call Detail Records, last published in its entirety on August 31, 2000, at 65 FR 53085, is designated as “Treasury .010”;

On August 31, 2000, the Department changed the title of Treasury/DO .190 from “General Allegations and Investigative Records” to “Investigation Data Management System,” and the title of Treasury/DO .191 was changed from “OIG Management Information System (MIS)” to “Human Resources and Administrative Records System.” In addition, Treasury/DO .068—Time-In-Grade Exception Files was deleted effective August 31, 2000. (65 FR 53085) The following systems of records, “Treasury/DO .206-Office Tracking System,” and “Treasury/DO .156—Tax Court Judge Applicants,” are removed from the Department's inventory of Privacy Act systems of records.

(2) Individuals or entities that are participants in transactions, conducted or attempted by, at, or through a financial institution, that have been reported because the institution knows, suspects, or has reason to suspect that: (a) The transaction involves funds derived from illegal activities, the transaction is intended or conducted to hide or disguise funds or assets derived from illegal activities as part of a plan to violate or evade any law or regulation or to avoid any transaction reporting requirement under Federal law; (b) the transaction is designed to evade any regulations promulgated under the Bank Secrecy Act, Pub. L. 91-508, as amended, codified at 12 U.S.C. 1829b, 12 U.S.C. 1951-1959, and 31 U.S.C. 5311, et seq.; or (c) the transaction has no business or apparent lawful purpose or is not the sort in which the particular customer would normally be expected to engage, and the financial institution knows of no reasonable explanation for the transaction after examining the available facts, including the background and possible purpose of the transaction;

Categories of records in the system:
The SAR System contains information reported to FinCEN by financial institutions on a Suspicious Activity Report (“SAR”) required under the authority of FinCEN or one or more of the Federal Supervisory Agencies, or both. SARs contain information about the categories of persons or entities specified in “Categories of Individuals Covered by the system.” The SAR System may also contain records pertaining to criminal prosecutions, civil actions, enforcement proceedings, and investigations resulting from or relating to SARs. Additionally, it will contain records pertaining to criminal prosecutions, civil actions, enforcement proceedings, and investigations relating to institutions required to file reports or under the supervision of one or more of the Federal Supervisory agencies. Start Printed Page 7497
Authority for maintenance of the system:
The system is established and maintained in accordance with 31 U.S.C. 5318(g); 31 CFR Part 103; 31 U.S.C. 321; and Department of the Treasury Order 105-08.
Purpose(s):
The requirements of FinCEN and the Federal Supervisory Agencies create an integrated process for reporting suspicious activity and known or suspected crimes by, at, or through depository institutions and certain of their affiliates. The process is based on a single uniform SAR filed with FinCEN.
The SAR System has been created, as a key part of this integrated reporting process, to permit coordinated and enhanced analysis and tracking of such information, and rapid dissemination of SAR information to appropriate law enforcement and supervisory agencies. The provisions of 31 U.S.C. 5318(g)(4)(B) specifically require that the agency designated as repository for SARs refer those reports to any appropriate law enforcement or supervisory agency.
Data from the SAR System will be exchanged, retrieved, and disseminated, both manually and electronically among FinCEN, the Federal Supervisory Agencies, appropriate Federal, State, and local law enforcement agencies, and State banking supervisory agencies. Agencies to which information will be referred electronically, which in certain cases may involve electronic transfers of batch information, include the Federal Supervisory Agencies, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Secret Service, the United States Customs Service, the Executive Office of the United States Attorneys and the Offices of the 93 United States Attorneys, and State bank supervisory agencies and certain State law enforcement agencies, which have entered into appropriate agreements with FinCEN. (The FBI and Secret Service may receive electronic transfers of batch information as forms are filed to permit those agencies more efficiently to carry out their investigative responsibilities.) Organizations to which information is regularly disseminated are referred to as SAR System Users. It is anticipated that information from the SAR System will also be disseminated to other appropriate Federal, State, or local law enforcement organizations and regulatory agencies that enter into appropriate agreements with FinCEN. In addition, information may be disseminated to non-United States financial regulatory and law enforcement agencies.
Routine uses of records maintained in the system, Including Categories of Users and the Purposes of Such Uses:
These records may be used to:
(1) Provide information or records, electronically or manually, to SAR System Users relevant to the enforcement and supervisory programs and operations of those Users;

(4) Provide information or records, when appropriate, to international and foreign governmental authorities in accordance with law and formal or informal international agreement;
