    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 Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has completed a review of its Privacy Act systems of records notices to identify minor changes that will more accurately describe these records.

    This publication incorporates the amendment to Treasury/CC.600—Consumer Complaint and Inquiry Information System that was published on October 18, 2006, at 71 FR 61538. Other changes throughout the document are editorial in nature and consist principally of revising address information and minor editorial changes. The systems of records were last published in their entirety on July 11, 2005, at 70 FR 39853-39864.

    On May 22, 2007, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued Memorandum M-07-16 entitled “Safeguarding Against and Responding to the Breach of Personally Identifiable Information.” It required agencies to publish a routine use providing for a breach remediation as recommended by the President's Identity Theft Task Force. As part of that effort, the Department published a notice of a proposed routine use on October 3, 2007, at 72 FR 56434, and it was effective on November 13, 2007. The new routine use has been added and is reflected in each OCC systems of records notices below.

    Department of the Treasury regulations require the Department to publish the existence and character of all systems of records every three years (31 CFR 1.23(a)(1)). With respect to its inventory of Privacy Act systems of records, the OCC has determined that the information contained in its systems of records is accurate, timely, relevant, complete, and is necessary to maintain the proper performance of a documented agency function.
