2010-21493. Privacy Act of 1974; Report of an Altered System of Records

ACTION:

Notice to amend a system of records.

SUMMARY:

The Peace Corps is revising two of its existing systems of records notices subject to the Privacy Act of 1974, (5 U.S.C. 552a), PC-17—Volunteer Applicant and Service Records System, and PC-18—Former Peace Corps Volunteers Database. The first revision adds a specific routine use to both PC-17 and PC-18. This specific routine use indicates that the Peace Corps may share Peace Corps Volunteer and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer contact information with educational institutions with which the Peace Corps has a Fellows/Masters International agreement which requires access to such information. The second revision adds another specific routine use to both PC-17 and PC-18 indicating that the Peace Corps may share Peace Corps Volunteer and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer information with Returned Peace Corps Volunteer organizations that are furthering the Peace Corps' recruiting and third goal activities. The third revision indicates that all of the Peace Corps' General Routine Uses apply to PC-18. The fourth revision updates the System Manager information for PC-17.

DATES:

This proposed action will be effective without further notice October 14, 2010 without further action, unless adverse comment is received by Peace Corps by September 29, 2010.
