DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Office of the Secretary
Privacy Act of 1974; As Amended; Revisions to an Existing System
of Records
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of the Interior.
ACTION: Proposed revisions to an existing system of records.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5
U.S.C. 552a), the Office of the Secretary (OS) is issuing public notice
of its intent to modify an existing Privacy Act system of records
notice, OS-82, ``Executive and Manager Development Program (EMDP).''
The revisions will update the system name and number, the categories of
records in the system, safeguards, and retention and disposal
statements, and address of the system locations and system managers.
EFFECTIVE DATE: These actions will be effective on April 23, 1999.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Team Leader, Executive Resources and
Career Management Group, Office of Personnel Policy, U.S. Department of
the Interior, 1849 C Street NW, MS-5221 MIB, Washington, DC 20240.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Interior is proposing
to amend the system notice for OS-82, ``Executive and Manager
Development Program (EMDP),'' to update the name of the system to more
adequately describe the current executive and managerial training being
provided to Departmental employees, and the system number to more
accurately reflect the Departmentwide scope of the system. The
Executive and Manager Development Program described in the system
notice when it was first published has been replaced by the Senior
Executive Service Candidate Development Program, a competitive twelve-
month developmental program open to GS-14 and GS-15 applicants to
enhance candidates' managerial and leadership skills in preparation for
Office of Personnel Management certification of graduates' managerial
competencies for noncompetitive Senior Executive Service selection, and
the Team Leadership Program, a related developmental program open to
applicants at the GS-11 through GS-13 levels. The Department is also
proposing to update the categories of records in the system statement
to indicate, more specifically, what types of records are being
maintained on individuals covered by the system, and to update the
safeguards and retention and disposal statements and the address of the
system locations and system managers to reflect changes that have
occurred since the notice was last published. Accordingly, the
Department of the Interior proposes to amend the ``Executive and
Manager Development Program (EMDP),'' OS-82 system notice in its
entirety to read as follows:
