OFFICE OF PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT
Privacy Act of 1974; Update of Existing Notices of Systems of
Records
AGENCY: Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
ACTION: Notice of updated system notices.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has conducted a
comprehensive review of all Internal and Central Privacy Act systems of
records. This notice publishes updates to the Internal and Central
systems of records, last published in complete form in April 1993. This
notice proposes the adoption of a ``Prefatory Statement of Routine Uses
for OPM's Internal and Central Systems of Records.''
DATES: The proposed non-substantive changes will be effective without
further notice on January 8, 1996. The proposed substantive changes
will be effective January 17, 1996, unless comments are received that
result in a contrary determination.
ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Office of Personnel Management,
ATTN: Mr. Robert Huley, Office of Information Technology, 1900 E Street
NW., Room 5415, Washington, DC 20415-0001.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert Huley at (202) 418-3200.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OPM last published its Internal and Central
[[Page 63076]]
system notices in complete form April 12, 1993 (58 FR 19153). Since
that time there have been two new Internal and one new Central system
notices published: OPM/Internal-12, Telephone Call Record Detail
Records (58 FR 47002, effective 11/2/93); OPM/Internal-13, Parking
Program Records (59 FR 64439, effective 1/13/95); and OPM/Central-14,
Debarment or Suspension Records of Federal Employees Health Benefits
Program (FEHBP) (60 FR 39194, effective 8/31/95).
This update is meant to conform to the review requirements as set
by the Office of Management and Budget Circular A-130, Appendix I, for
system notices. Changes have been made to several notices to more
accurately describe the contents of the system of records. Due to OPM's
recent reorganization, the system location, manager, and address
information has been changed for each system notice.
The adoption of a ``Prefatory Statement'' format will allow OPM to
publish certain established repetitive routine uses for Internal and
Central systems of records only once, in the interests of simplicity,
economy, and to avoid redundancy. Each Internal and Central system
notice will make reference to the routine uses of the prefatory
statement applicable to that notice, and will print in full any routine
uses unique to that specific system of records. Each system notice has
been revised as necessary to reflect the use of the Prefatory
Statement.
Following is a brief description of changes to system notices:
OPM/INTERNAL-1, Defense Mobilization Emergency Cadre Records--changed
to reflect adoption of Prefatory Statement and agency reorganization.
OPM/INTERNAL-2, Negotiated Grievance Procedure Records--changed to
reflect adoption of Prefatory Statement and agency reorganization.

changed to reflect adoption of Prefatory Statement and agency

of Motor Vehicle Operator ``Authorization'' records, and changes have
been made throughout the system notice to clarify what authorization
and report records are maintained where, for what purpose, and how to
access them.

to note that the records are maintained to settle administrative claims
brought against OPM employees as well as OPM (the agency).

Prefatory Statement of Routine Uses for OPM's Internal and Central
Systems of Records
Certain established routine uses have been found to be applicable
to the majority of OPM's Internal and Central systems of records. These
repetitive routine uses will be published in their entirety once, in
this Prefatory Statement. Each Internal and Central system notice will
note which of these routine uses are applicable to that notice, and
will also include the full text of any routine uses unique to that
system of records.
1. For Law Enforcement Purposes--To disclose pertinent information
to the appropriate Federal, State, or local agency responsible for
investigating, prosecuting, enforcing, or implementing a statute, rule,
regulation, or order, where OPM becomes aware of an indication of a
violation or potential violation of civil or criminal law or
regulation.
2. For Certain Disclosures to Other Federal Agencies--To disclose
information to a Federal agency, in response to its request in
connection with the hiring or retention of an employee, the issuance of
a security clearance, the conducting of a suitability or security
investigation of an individual, the classifying of jobs, the letting of
a contract, or the issuance of a license, grant, or other benefit by
the requesting agency, to the extent that the information is relevant
and necessary to the requesting agency's decision on the matter.
3. For Congressional Inquiry--To provide information to a
congressional office from the record of an individual in response to an
inquiry from that congressional office made at the request of that
individual.
4. For Judicial/Administrative Proceedings--To disclose information
to another Federal agency, to a court, or a party in litigation before
a court or in an administrative proceeding being conducted by a Federal
agency, when the Government is a party to the judicial or
administrative proceeding. In those cases where the Government is not a
party to the proceeding, records may be disclosed if a subpoena has
been signed by a judge.
5. For National Archives and Records Administration--To disclose
information to the National Archives and Records Administration for use
in records management inspections.
6. Within OPM for Statistical/Analytical Studies--By OPM in the
production of summary descriptive statistics and analytical studies in
support of the function for which the records are collected and
maintained, or for related workforce studies. While published studies
do not contain individual identifiers, in some instances the selection
of elements of data included in the study may be structured in such a
way as to make the data individually identifiable by inference.
7. For Litigation--To disclose information to the Department of
Justice, or in a proceeding before a court, adjudicative body, or other
administrative body before which OPM is authorized to appear, when:
(1) OPM, or any component thereof; or
(2) Any employee of OPM in his or her official capacity; or
(3) Any employee of OPM in his or her individual capacity where the
Department of Justice or OPM has agreed to represent the employee; or
(4) The United States, when OPM determines that litigation is
likely to affect OPM or any of its components; is a party to litigation
or has an interest in such litigation, and the use of such records by
the Department of Justice or OPM is deemed by OPM to be relevant and
necessary to the litigation provided, however, that the disclosure is
compatible with the purpose for which records were collected.
8. For the Merit Systems Protection Board--To disclose information
to officials of the Merit Systems Protection Board or the Office of the
Special Counsel, when requested in connection with appeals, special
studies of the civil service and other merit systems, review of OPM
rules and regulations, investigations of alleged or possible prohibited
personnel practices, and such other functions, e.g., as promulgated in
5 U.S.C. 1205 and 1206, or as may be authorized by law.
9. For the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission--To disclose
information to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission when
requested in connection with investigations into alleged or possible
discrimination practices in the Federal sector, compliance by Federal
agencies with the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures
or other functions vested in the Commission and to otherwise ensure
compliance with the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 7201.
10. For the Federal Labor Relations Authority--To disclose
information to the Federal Labor Relations Authority or its General
Counsel when requested in connection with investigations of allegations
of unfair labor practices or matters before the Federal Service
Impasses Panel.
11. For Non-Federal Personnel--To disclose information to
contractors, grantees, or volunteers performing or working on a
contract, service, grant, cooperative agreement, or job for the Federal
Government.
