INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
Privacy Act of 1974; Establishment of New Systems of Records;
Revision of Systems of Records; Deletion of a System of Records
AGENCY: International Trade Commission.
ACTION: Request for comments on proposed establishment of new Privacy
Act systems of records, revision of systems of records, and deletion of
a system of records.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 522a(e)(4) of the Privacy Act of 1974,
the U.S. International Trade Commission (``Commission'') proposes the
following actions: (1) Consolidate and revise two existing systems of
records, currently entitled ``Budgetary and Payroll-Related Records''
and ``Time and Attendance Records,'' into a new system of records
entitled ``Pay, Leave and Travel Records;'' (2) revise the existing
system of records entitled ``Grievance Records;'' (3) revise the
existing system of records entitled ``Office of Inspector General
Investigative Files General and Criminal'' by clarifying that there are
two separate systems of records entitled ``Office of Inspector General
Investigative Files (General)'' and ``Office of Inspector General
Investigative Files (Criminal);'' (4) establish a new system of records
entitled ``Telephone Call Detail Records;'' (5) establish a new system
of records entitled ``Security Access Records;'' (6) establish a new
system of records entitled ``Personnel Security
[[Page 23486]]
Investigative Files Records;'' (7) establish a new system of records
entitled ``Library Circulation Records;'' (8) establish a new system of
records entitled ``Parking Records;'' (9) establish a new system of
records entitled ``Mailing List Records;'' (10) establish a new system
of records entitled ``Congressional Correspondence Records;'' and (11)
eliminate a current system of records entitled ``Employment and
Financial Disclosure Records.''
DATES: Comments must be received no later than June 9, 1997. The
proposed revisions and additions to the Commission's systems of records
will become effective on that date unless otherwise published in the
Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be directed to the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW, Washington, DC 20436.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Anjali K. Hansen, Esq., Office of the
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, tel. 202-205-
3117. Hearing-impaired persons can obtain information on this matter by
contacting the Commission's TDD terminal on 202-205-1810. Persons with
mobility impairments who will need special assistance in gaining access
to the Commission should contact the Office of the Secretary at 202-
205-2000.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974, these
revisions, deletions, and additions to the Commission's system of
records will be reported to the Office of Management and Budget, the
Chair of the Committee on Government Reform and Oversight of the House
of Representatives, and the Chair of the Committee on Governmental
Affairs of the Senate. The revisions to existing Commission systems of
records, the addition of new systems of records, and the deletion of a
system of records are in response to a comprehensive review of the
Commission's systems of records conducted by the Commission's Office of
Inspector General and Office of General Counsel. The Commission
proposes to revise and consolidate existing systems of records by
updating, clarifying and conforming the information in the Commission's
Privacy Act notices to reflect current procedures. The Commission
proposes to consolidate the ``Budgetary and Payroll-Related Records''
and ``Time and Attendance Records'' into a new system of records
entitled ``Pay, Leave and Travel Records'' since these functions have
become more integrated. The Commission proposes to divide the current
Office of Inspector General notice into two separate notices (criminal
and general) because two separate records systems are maintained that
are subject to different exemptions under the Privacy Act. The
Commission also proposes to notice seven systems of records which are
new systems of records maintained by the Commission. The Commission
proposes to delete the current system of records entitled ``Employment
and Financial Disclosure Records'' because the Commission's records are
covered by Government-wide systems of records (OGE/GOVT-1 and OGE/GOVT-
2). Finally, the Commission proposes to revise the routine uses
applicable to its systems of records to reflect current agency practice
and to standardize routine uses that are applicable to more than one
system of records. Because the establishment of the system covering
personnel security investigative files records requires the
promulgation of a Commission rule exempting this system from certain
provisions of the Privacy Act, the Commission will also be publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking.
