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.
