[Federal Register Volume 59, Number 46 (Wednesday, March 9, 1994)] [Unknown Section] [Page 0] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 94-5329] [[Page Unknown]] [Federal Register: March 9, 1994] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
