DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
Bureau of Reclamation

 

Privacy Act of 1974--Alteration of System of Records

    Pursuant to the provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended 
(5 U.S.C. 552a), notice is hereby given that the Department of the 
Interior proposes to alter a notice describing a system of records 
managed by the Bureau of Reclamation to add two new routine uses and 
one additional category of individuals covered by the system. The 
notice being altered, which is published in its entirety below, is 
``Acreage Limitation--BOR-31,'' previously published on December 26, 
1984 (49 FR 50115) as ``Acreage Limitation--Interior, Reclamation-31.''
    The new routine uses proposed for BOR-31 allow for: (1) The 
disclosure to the Internal Revenue Service for the purpose of reporting 
the existence of ``illegal Federal irrigation subsidies,'' as defined 
by the Internal Revenue Code, and (2) the disclosure to lending 
institutions for the purpose of acquiring information needed by the 
lender to complete the certification and reporting requirements of the 
Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 (RRA) for involuntarily acquired 
irrigable or irrigation land.
    The new category of individuals covered by the system proposed for 
BOR-31, pursuant to amendments to the RRA, as included in the Omnibus 
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1987 (Pub. L. 100-203), is operators of 
land subject to the acreage limitation provisions of Reclamation law.
    All other changes proposed for BOR-31 are editorial in nature, 
clarify and update existing statements, and reflect organizational, 
address and other miscellaneous administrative revisions which have 
occurred since the previous publication of the material in the Federal 
Register: To wit, in BOR-31, the existing system name is revised in 
accordance with current agency practice regarding form of system name; 
an explicit statement has been included regarding disclosure of system 
data to consumer reporting agencies; the existing categories of records 
in the system statement is revised to more clearly identify the types 
of records maintained in the system; the existing retrievability 
statement is revised to reflect current indexing capabilities; the 
existing retention and disposal statement is revised to provide the 
public with more specific information regarding approved agency 
retention and disposal practices; the existing system record source 
categories statement is revised to more clearly identify current 
sources of system data; and the existing location statement and 
existing system manager(s) and address statements are revised to 
reflect the current organizational structure of the Bureau of 
Reclamation as well as changes in addresses of specific system 
managers. For ease of use, organizational and address changes are 
reflected in a revision of the appendix to the Department's compilation 
of system of records notices, Part XVI of which is replaced in its 
entirety and included below.
    As required by the Privacy Act of 1974, as amended (5 U.S.C. 
552a(r)), the Office of Management and Budget, the Senate Committee on 
Governmental Affairs, and the House Committee on Government Operations 
have been given notice of this proposed alteration.
    5 U.S.C. 552a(e)(11) requires that the public be provided a 30-day 
period in which to comment on the new, intended uses of the information 
in this system of records. The Office of Management and Budget, in its 
Circular A-130, requires a 40-day period in which to review such 
proposals. Written comments on this proposal can be addressed to the 
Departmental Privacy Act Officer, Office of the Secretary, Office of 
Administrative Services, 1849 ``C'' Street NW, Mail Stop 5412 MIB, 
Washington, DC 20240, telephone (202) 208-6045. Comments received 
within 40 days of publication in the Federal Register (April 18, 1994), 
will be considered. The notice shall be effective as proposed at the 
end of the comment period, unless comments are received which would 
require a contrary determination.

    Dated: February 16, 1994.
Albert C. Camacho,
Director, Office of Administrative Services.

    Records are maintained in file folders and, where automated, on 
magnetic media.
    Manual records are retrieved by district and/or landholder name, by

426.10(h). All other records are retained in compliance with Bureau of 
Reclamation retention schedules that have been approved by the National 
Archives and Records Administration.
    Unless directed otherwise in this notice, inquiries regarding
